Across 55 matches, Hooper's workload tells a clear story: he is a high-volume presence on both sides of the ball, averaging over ten tackles and nearly nine carries per game. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a single-game peak of 28 tackles pointing to a player who shoulders significant defensive responsibility when the pressure mounts. While tries are rare, his carrying across more than 1 100 metres signals a forward who consistently shifts the gainline rather than chasing the limelight.
