Across 66 matches Hume has been a consistent workhorse in midfield, averaging nearly seven carries and close to 24 metres per game to suggest a centre who gets through steady, unglamorous ground-work rather than explosive bursts. His tackle count is equally telling — averaging over five per match across more than 4 300 minutes points to a player who shoulders genuine defensive responsibility week after week. Single-game peaks of 14 carries, 104 metres and 14 tackles indicate he can shift into a higher gear when the match demands it.
