Across 14 appearances as a replacement, Pearson's output is defined by his defensive work — averaging 3.5 tackles per outing with a single-game peak of 17, pointing to a player who makes an immediate physical impact when introduced. His carrying numbers are modest in volume but purposeful, with a best of 9 carries for 24 metres in one match suggesting he can shift through the gears when called upon. The picture is of a reliable impact substitute whose primary value lies in defensive solidity.
