Across seven Premiership appearances Hodge has established himself as a high-volume ball carrier, consistently racking up metres from the back with a per-game output that points to regular involvement in the attacking structure rather than a peripheral role. His best individual performance — 16 carries and 131 metres — demonstrates the ceiling of his impact when given opportunity, suggesting he can shift the tempo of a game in the right conditions. His tackle numbers are modest, indicating his primary value to Newcastle Red Bulls lies in what he produces with ball in hand rather than defensive workload.
