Across 91 appearances Deegan functions as a high-volume workhorse, consistently involved in both the carry and the defensive line with per-game averages that rarely dip. His try-scoring return of 26 across those matches confirms he is not simply a grinder — he finishes, too. Peak outputs of 19 carries and 15 tackles in a single game illustrate the ceiling of his influence when conditions demand it.
