Burrows contributes consistently across both phases of play, averaging just under six tackles per appearance from a replacement role — a rate that points to genuine defensive commitment every time he takes the field. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, and a single-game peak of 17 tackles and 24 metres demonstrates he can impose himself when given extended minutes. Three tries across eleven appearances adds a finishing threat that extends his value beyond the collisions.
