Across 56 matches Samuel has built a profile defined by high-volume defensive output, averaging over six tackles per game and reaching 19 in a single outing — figures that point to a lock who is consistently asked to do the heavy lifting at the breakdown and in the channel. His carrying game is steady rather than explosive, accumulating metres in short, functional bursts typical of a tight forward whose primary value lies in set-piece and defence. The combination of nearly 2 500 minutes and that tackle count tells the story of a durable, dependable presence across three major competitions.
