Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The rebel World Series saw a plethora of star Australian players leaving in pursuit of more money and bigger fame. It coincided with South Australia's domestic success and despite Hogg not really shining a lot, he got the national call up he was craving for. After his breakaway start, he couldn't quite replicate the same level of success in his career but was nevertheless a key figure in the Australian bowling unit. The 1979 tour to India is easily Hogg's most controversial time as a cricketer. The extreme heat often derailed his fitness levels and he had started to develop an unhealthy habit of bowling too many no balls. He ended up injuring opposition batsmen in the practice games and overall, he was hogging the limelight for the wrong reasons.
While his form dipped and injury woes lengthened over the next few years, his decision to make a rebel tour to South Africa all but ended his career due to the bans that followed. South African cricket had been stopped due to apartheid issues and hence, they weren't being active in international cricket. However, the lure of money saw a set of Australian players touring them twice in the 1980s and Hogg was part of both teams. The bans and injuries virtually ended any possibility of Hogg staging a comeback. Post retirement, Hogg has been involved in coaching fast bowlers and has also been a fine motivational speaker. Hogg has also been a fine writer and involved himself with television commentary as well.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Blond, blue-eyed, aggressive and menacingly fast, Rodney Hogg announced himself with 41 wickets for World Series-depleted Australia against England in 1978-79: he took ten twice in succession, in Perth and Melbourne, and seven apiece in Brisbane and Adelaide. The way he regularly beat Geoff Boycott for pace in that series thrilled Australia at a lean time.
Three years on, Hogg took seven again against England at the MCG, but Australia fell four runs short in a nailbiter where Jeff Thomson and Allan Border nearly got them across the line. At the start of 1984, his last year in Test cricket, he produced his only fifty, against a West Indies line-up that featured Joel Garner, Wayne Daniel and Winston Davis no less.
Hogg's was a career interrupted by Injury and a rebel tour to South Africa, but when he was fit and available, he was generally in Australia's first rank.
A quirky character, he once had his wife erase the videotape of a soft dismissal while batting in a Test, saying he did not want his son to see him as a coward. Later, he fulfilled a long-held ambition to open a greengrocery.
