Parkes shows a consistent workload across his appearances, contributing steadily with the ball in hand and taking on a significant share of the defensive burden — his tackle count stands out as his most prominent statistical trait. His best outings demonstrate the capacity to combine double-digit carries with elite tackle numbers in the same match, pointing to a centre who is asked to function as much as a defensive anchor as an attacking option. The moderate metres gained per carry suggest his value lies more in structure and reliability than in making breaks.
