Across 14 appearances as a replacement, Burrows has built a consistent profile built around defensive industry, averaging nearly seven tackles per outing and contributing close to 100 tackles in total. His carrying numbers are modest in volume, reflecting his impact role, but his best games show he can push well beyond his averages — peaking at seven carries, 24 metres, and 17 tackles in a single match. That ceiling suggests he brings genuine physicality when called upon rather than simply filling minutes.
