Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Carrying threat from deep positions

Hodge is a consistent ball-carrier at full back, averaging over 40 metres per appearance and regularly putting his side over the gainline with the ball in hand. His best outings show a capacity to dominate — reaching 131 metres and 16 carries in a single match — underlining that he is at his most dangerous when given licence to run. His tackle count is modest, which points to a role built primarily around attack and involvement in open play rather than defensive responsibility.
