Across 15 appearances Genovese's workload tells a clear story: his primary contribution is defensive, averaging close to three tackles per match and accumulating 39 in total. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a role focused on set-piece duty and defensive structure rather than ball-in-hand impact. When opportunities do arise he can make meaningful metres, with a best single-game return of 10 metres from two carries showing there is running ability behind the work-rate.
