Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Tireless carrier and defensive workhorse

Across 16 appearances off the bench, Gleeson consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in defence, averaging over seven carries and seven tackles per match in limited minutes. His ability to reach 19 carries and 23 tackles in a single game points to the kind of high-intensity impact that defines an effective replacement. The balance between his carrying and tackling output suggests a player equally trusted to shift momentum and shore up the defensive line when introduced.
