Across 44 matches, Barron has built a profile defined by reliability rather than explosiveness — averaging close to four carries and four and a half tackles per game across over 1,400 minutes of rugby. His defensive output is a particular standout, with a peak of 17 tackles in a single match pointing to the kind of high-intensity defensive shifts that underpin his value at the set-piece position. Six tries from the carry work shows he is not without attacking threat, but the numbers paint a picture of a hooker who earns his time through consistent, unglamorous contribution on both sides of the ball.
