Across 50 matches, Barrett's tackle numbers stand out most — averaging over seven per game with a single-match peak of 22, he carries a heavy defensive workload that marks him as a dependable enforcer in the tight. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, consistently eating up metres per game, though the occasional 16-carry, 49-metre performance shows he can shoulder a greater ball-in-hand burden when required. Five tries across this sample suggest he remains a threat at the breakdown and from set-piece, rounding out a profile built on discipline and consistency rather than flash.
