Across 18 matches Samuel averages seven tackles per game, a rate that marks him as one of the primary defensive workhorses in Glasgow's forward pack. His carrying numbers are modest in metres gained but consistent in volume, suggesting a role built around hard, direct work at the gain line rather than line-breaking. His peak outputs — 19 tackles and 11 carries in a single match — confirm he can shoulder a significantly heavier load when the game demands it.
