Delany's tackle numbers stand out as his defining trait — averaging over eight per match across Super Rugby, with a single-game peak of 22 that signals the kind of defensive output rarely seen from a second row. His carrying is steady and functional rather than explosive, consistently providing front-foot ball in tight exchanges. The combination of reliable ground-level defence and disciplined carrying paints a picture of a lock built around the hard, unglamorous work that structures a forward pack.
