Across 28 appearances, Marin has consistently contributed without dominating possession, averaging under three carries per game — a pattern that reflects his role as a finisher rather than a primary ball-carrier. His tackle numbers tell a more assertive story, with a single-game peak of 12 and a steady average of 3.2, suggesting he brings genuine defensive urgency when introduced. The occasional standout carrying performance, up to 8 carries and 55 metres in a match, shows he can shift gears when the game demands it.
