Pearson's numbers paint the picture of a flanker who is consistently central to both sides of the ball, racking up tackles at a rate that places him among the busiest defenders in his position while still contributing meaningfully with ball in hand across every game. His carrying figures show a player who works hard for territory rather than relying on big individual breaks, grinding out metres consistently over 24 matches. The six tries alongside that volume of work suggest he is also well-positioned at the breakdown and in support lines when opportunities arise.
