Across 22 matches, Dearns has been a consistent engine in the tight phases, averaging over six carries and eight and a half tackles per game — numbers that speak to a lock who is heavily involved on both sides of the ball. His seven tries from the forward pack underline a knack for getting over the line, while peak outputs of 16 carries and 16 tackles in a single match show he can step up his workload considerably when the occasion demands it.
