Across 100 matches and over 5,300 minutes of action, Grobbelaar sustains an exceptionally high defensive workload, averaging more than eight tackles per game with a single-match peak of 26 — figures that point to a hooker who shoulders genuine defensive responsibility rather than operating on the fringes. His 35 tries from 513 carries underline consistent threat around the ruck, and while his per-game carrying numbers are measured, the cumulative volume of over 1,050 metres tells the story of a forward who contributes reliably across a full match, week after week.
