Brown's match data tells the story of a prop whose primary value lies in defence — over 27 appearances his tackle numbers consistently outweigh his involvement in the carry game, pointing to a role built around physicality and defensive reliability at set piece and breakdown. His best individual performances show he can elevate when called upon, with double-digit tackles and five carries in a single match demonstrating genuine capacity beyond a narrow role. The carry numbers reflect the functional demands placed on a tighthead in these competitions rather than any limitation, with his defensive output standing as the clearest indicator of his contribution.
