Across 76 matches Hodnett has built a profile defined by relentless defensive output, averaging over ten tackles per game with single-match peaks of 21, marking him as a consistent first-line defender at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying numbers tell a similar story of steady, reliable contribution rather than flash — chipping in with nearly six carries a game and accumulating over 1 500 metres in total, with the ability to push well beyond his averages when the game demands it. Sixteen tries across the dataset also confirm he is not purely a grind player; he finds the line often enough to pose a genuine attacking threat from the back of the scrum.
