Across 39 appearances as a replacement, Gleeson brings consistent physicality on both sides of the ball, averaging just under six carries and more than six tackles per outing. His defensive output is a particular standout — single-game peaks of 23 tackles point to a player who can absorb enormous defensive workloads when called upon. With six tries from the carrying game, he offers genuine threat with ball in hand despite typically operating in a finisher role.
