Across 54 matches, Beard's tackle volume stands as the defining feature of his game, averaging close to five per outing and peaking at 16 in a single match — figures that point to a lock heavily trusted in defensive structures. His carrying numbers are modest and consistent, reflecting a role built around set-piece and defensive grunt rather than ball-in-hand impact. The 1,807 minutes accumulated across four competitions underline the durability that underpins that defensive contribution.
