Across 14 appearances, Barton shows up as a reliable ball-carrier who contributes steadily with the ball in hand, averaging just over five carries a game and picking up ground consistently. His best outings — reaching 12 carries and 90 metres in a single match — point to a player who can shift up a gear when given the opportunity. His tackle numbers are modest, which reflects the nature of a full back role where defensive workload is selective rather than constant.
