Across 19 matches and over 550 minutes of action, Smith's output is defined almost entirely by his work without the ball, averaging more than four tackles per game and reaching 18 in a single outing. His carrying numbers are modest in volume and gain, which is consistent with a loosehead used primarily to provide a defensive platform and set-piece presence rather than ball-in-hand threat. The data paints a picture of a prop whose value is measured in stops made rather than metres gained.
