Across 30 matches, Gallagher functions as a high-volume ball carrier, averaging nearly eight carries per game and consistently eating up ground with over 35 metres per match. His peak outputs — 16 carries and 96 metres in a single game — indicate the capacity to take on a much heavier carrying load when the game demands it. His tackle numbers are modest, suggesting his primary defensive contribution comes through positional discipline rather than volume of contact.
