Across 23 matches Marini has built a profile defined overwhelmingly by defensive output, averaging over nine tackles per game and reaching 25 in a single outing — numbers that point to a lock heavily relied upon to do the hard yards at the breakdown and in the line. His carrying is functional rather than prominent, contributing steady metres without posing a significant ball-in-hand threat. The consistency of his minute count suggests he is trusted as a reliable, high-volume operator across multiple competitions.
