Barton contributes reliably across both phases of play, averaging over five carries per match and consistently eating up ground with the ball in hand. His tackle numbers are modest for a back-three player but steady across 12 appearances, suggesting a disciplined positional role rather than a roving defensive brief. His peak performances — including 12 carries and 90 metres in a single outing — point to the capacity to take on a significantly heavier workload when called upon.
