Across 18 appearances as a replacement, Colonna has built a reputation as a defensive workhorse, averaging over five tackles per outing and topping 12 in his strongest performance. His carrying numbers are modest by design — consistent with a finisher's role — yet he has shown the ability to make meaningful ground when called upon, peaking at 51 metres in a single game. The data points to a player who earns his minutes through defensive reliability rather than ball-in-hand ambition.
