Across 30 matches Burke averages over six tackles per game, with single-match peaks of 14, pointing to a fly half who takes his defensive responsibilities seriously rather than sheltering behind the line. His 153 carries over 681 metres reflect consistent involvement in the build-up game, and his best carrying performances — up to 12 carries and 66 metres in a single outing — suggest he is trusted to shift the ball under pressure as well as take the hard yards himself.
