Across 24 matches, Samu contributes consistently on both sides of the ball, averaging close to five tackles per game while maintaining a steady presence in the carry game. His peak outputs — 13 carries and 15 tackles in a single match — signal the capacity to take over a contest when required. That balance of defensive workrate and ball-carrying involvement reflects a Number 8 who operates as a dependable all-round forward rather than a one-dimensional specialist.
