Across 18 Super Rugby appearances as a replacement, Bartlett has built a consistent profile defined more by defensive contribution than ball-carrying impact, averaging close to four tackles per outing and peaking at 11 in a single game. His carry numbers are modest but functional for a bench role, with occasional matches where he pushes double figures suggesting he can absorb a genuine workload when called upon. The overall picture is of a player who makes his minutes count defensively and offers dependable, if understated, impact in the forward exchanges.
