Across 39 appearances, Heyes stands out primarily as a defensive force, averaging close to nine tackles per match — a rate that underlines his consistency at the breakdown and around the fringes. His carrying numbers tell of a prop who contributes reliably in tight exchanges rather than chasing metres in open space, while four tries across this sample show he remains a threat close to the line. His best individual performances push beyond 20 tackles and nine carries in a single match, pointing to the ceiling of his physical output when called upon.
