Across 35 matches, Barrett brings consistent defensive output — averaging close to five tackles per game and peaking at 18 in a single appearance — marking him as a lock who prioritises defensive workrate above all. His carrying numbers are measured rather than dominant, suggesting a role built around structure and reliability rather than gain-line aggression, though his single-game best of 16 carries and 49 metres shows the capacity to step up when required. Three tries across this dataset add a modest but meaningful attacking dimension to an otherwise defence-first profile.
