Across 26 matches, Pearson has been a consistent engine at the breakdown and in defence, averaging close to nine tackles per game while also contributing meaningfully with ball in hand. His carrying numbers reflect a forward who takes the direct route and accumulates metres steadily rather than in flashes, though single-game peaks of 13 carries and 18 tackles show he can shoulder a much heavier load when required. Six tries over this period add a cutting edge that rounds out his profile as a high-workload, all-phases flanker.
