Deliance's output across nine matches is defined above all by his tackling volume — averaging ten per game and reaching eighteen in a single outing, figures that point to a player who takes on significant defensive responsibility within Lyon's structure. His carrying game is compact rather than prominent, suggesting a role built around work-rate and physicality rather than ball-in-hand impact. That combination of high defensive output and disciplined positional play marks him as a consistent, functional presence at flanker.
