Across 23 matches Thomson has built a profile defined by consistency at the breakdown and around the park, averaging over eight tackles per game and contributing reliably with ball in hand. His carry numbers show a workmanlike rather than expansive running game, with his value lying in the accumulation of hard metres and defensive pressure over the full 80 minutes. When he peaks, as his single-game bests of 16 tackles and 10 carries suggest, he is capable of dominating the physical contest entirely.
