Across his eight Super Rugby appearances as a replacement, Devery's output is heavily weighted towards defence, averaging over five tackles per game and reaching double figures in his best outing. His carrying numbers are modest — consistent but compact — suggesting his primary impact when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry the ball into contact. The data paints a picture of a specialist impact finisher whose value is measured in stops rather than metres gained.
