Across 15 matches Hume has shown consistent involvement on both sides of the ball, averaging nearly five tackles per game alongside a steady carry workload that produces reliable metres gained. His best performances show he can stretch well beyond those averages, demonstrating the capacity to take on a greater physical share when the game demands it. That balance of carrying and defensive output points to a centre who contributes meaningfully in the tight phases rather than operating purely as an attacking threat.
