Lazzaroni's output across 20 matches is defined almost entirely by his work without the ball — averaging four and a half tackles per game, with a single-match peak of 17, he functions as a high-volume defensive presence at lock. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his role keeps him close to the set piece and breakdown rather than in open ball-in-hand situations. When he does carry, the occasional spike to four carries and 20 metres in a single game hints at a player capable of shifting gears when the opportunity presents itself.
