Across 100 matches and nearly 5 000 minutes of action, Beard's output is defined above all by his defensive consistency — averaging over six tackles per game and peaking at 16 in a single outing, figures that point to a lock who prioritises containment and physicality. His carrying role is measured rather than prominent, used selectively to shift momentum at close quarters rather than generate volume, with his best single-game return of eight carries and 12 metres reflecting purposeful rather than prolific ball-in-hand work.
