Across 14 appearances as a replacement, Zinzen has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive output, averaging over six tackles per match and reaching 13 in a single game. His carrying numbers are modest by design, suggesting his primary value on introduction is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry the attack. When the occasion demands it he can exceed those norms, but the consistency of his tackle count is the clearest signal of his role.
