Gallagher's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging 14 per match across nine Super Rugby appearances, with a single-game peak of 22, he is consistently among the busiest defenders on the field. His carries are reliable rather than explosive, gaining modest but honest metres at a rate that reflects a lock doing the hard work between the nines rather than seeking the open field. Together, these numbers paint a picture of a forward who anchors the contest phase at both ends of the ball.
