Across 96 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 accumulating close to 600 in total, figures that speak to a lock who puts in the hard yards every single week. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, reflecting the tight, unglamorous work expected of a forward in his position rather than any ambition to play across the field. When the moment demands more, he has shown he can step up, with single-game peaks of 16 tackles and 8 carries underlining that the capacity is there.
