Sheehan's try return across 81 matches is exceptional for a hooker, pointing to a player who consistently arrives in the right place at the right time rather than simply accumulating volume. His carry and tackle averages are steady rather than dominant on paper, yet single-game peaks of 16 carries, 117 metres and 20 tackles reveal the capacity to take over a match entirely when the contest demands it. Across five competitions and over 3700 minutes, that consistency of output marks him as a hooker who shapes games well beyond the set piece.
