Hobson's Currie Cup appearances as a replacement centre his game firmly around defensive work, averaging two tackles per outing across limited minutes. His carrying load is modest, suggesting his primary contribution when introduced is solidity at the breakdown and in the defensive line rather than ball-in-hand threat. His best single-game output of four tackles and three carries points to a player capable of lifting his involvement when called upon.
