It's the stat that only partly explains the smile.
A smile that seems to be almost permanently fixed on the face of Tyson Frizell these days.
Talk to the Knights back-row recruit about the move up to Newcastle with his young family and you can't miss it.
It was hard to miss as well after Newcastle's first-round win over the Bulldogs last Friday night when the entire squad and coaching staff exited the dressingroom to bellow out the Knights team song among family and friends in the much larger warm-up area.
If the truth be known, Frizell has been smiling virtually ever since he and his young family moved house just after Christmas to Hamilton South following his decision to exit the St George Illawarra Dragons after eight seasons for a new challenge.
After just a few weeks of settling in and getting her bearings, Frizell says his wife Sammy was really happy to be here and so are their two young boys - Axton 2 and Easton 6 months.
"Sammy is feeling really comfortable with the move already and the boys are loving it." Frizell said. "We are living 10 minutes away from training so I'm seeing my boys more and Axton, it was his first time in the sheds after a game last week so that was really cool for him.
"So without even really knowing what lies ahead for the team on the field this season, I'm already really happy with my decision to come here and that's not going to change. The club has been awesome with everything."
But back to that stat.
In eight seasons at the Dragons, the NSW and Kangaroos forward made an average of a touch over 100 metres a game.
Last Friday night against the Dogs in his first appearance for his new club after a wild downpour right on kick-off made for conservative attack with not a lot of ball movement, Frizell ran for 180 metres from 15 carries of the footy.
His increased involvement and the number of times his teammates went to him with the footy despite the conditions highlights what persuaded him to join the Knights in the first place.
It was a conversation with coach Adam O'Brien during a meeting last year when his playing future was still very much up in the air.
Frizell previously told the Herald he was leaning towards staying at the Dragons before he met O'Brien.
"To be honest, I probably went in thinking I'll listen to what they have to say but in the back of my mind, I was thinking do I really want to leave the Dragons and come up here," he said.
"I was sort of half expecting them to tell me how I'd fit into the team and how I could help the Knights and get a pat on the back about my career when the truth is, I wasn't satisfied with where my game was at.
"So, when the first thing Adam says to me is 'I want to help you become a better player' and then he shows me how he's going to do it, it just opened by eyes."
What O'Brien showed him was a whole heap of clips of how the Dragons were using him. In many of the attacking plays, Frizell was the decoy runner. The coach told him that would change if he decided to take the plunge and come to Newcastle. He would become the threat rather than the decoy.
O'Brien was true to his word and the Frizell threat will only become greater in the coming weeks when both Blake Green and Kalyn Ponga are back on the field.
In a struggling Dragons side over the past few seasons, Frizell looked every inch the player who had become stale in a working environment he was far too used to and he admits he now feels refreshed.
"I've come into a place with new workmates, new teammates and you have to earn respect," he said. "They don't know me, they've never met me, never played with me before so you're working hard, making new friends and getting their respect so it definitely freshens up your footy career and your life too.
"It's felt like that for me and now I'm all about doing my part for this team and all the boys here."
