Across 72 matches Hodnett has established himself as a high-volume defensive presence, averaging over ten tackles per game and peaking at 21 in a single outing — numbers that point to a flanker who shoulders serious defensive responsibility week after week. He complements that workload with reliable ball-carrying, accumulating over 1 400 metres from nearly 400 carries, and his 16 tries across the dataset show he gets himself into scoring positions with meaningful regularity. His best individual performances — 12 carries and 92 metres in a single match — suggest he has the capacity to elevate his impact well above his already solid averages when the game demands it.
