Across 56 matches, Hodgson has built a profile defined overwhelmingly by defensive output, averaging nearly eight tackles per game and peaking at 17 in a single outing — figures that point to a lock who carries significant defensive responsibility within his side's structure. His carrying contribution is steady rather than dominant, with averages around four carries and four metres per match, suggesting his primary value is won in the collisions around the breakdown rather than in ball-in-hand yardage. The consistency of that workload across close to 3 000 minutes of rugby indicates durability and a clearly defined, high-intensity role.
