Stodart's match data paints a clear picture of a replacement forward whose primary value lies in his defensive output, averaging close to six tackles per appearance across his Super Rugby sample. His carrying load is modest, suggesting his role is focused on providing defensive energy and structure rather than ball-carrying impact when introduced from the bench. His best outings show he can push well beyond those averages, recording double-digit tackles in a single game, which underlines his ceiling as a high-intensity defensive contributor.
