Across 32 matches, Heyes stands out as a high-volume tackler, averaging close to nine tackles per game and reaching 20 in a single outing — a figure that speaks to consistent defensive commitment at the coalface. His carrying numbers reflect a reliable if measured ball-carrying role typical of a tighthead, contributing steadily through contact rather than in bursts. Three tries over this period add a finishing dimension that complements his otherwise workmanlike, abrasive presence.
