Across 29 matches Samu operates as a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, combining consistent carrying with a tackle count that points to genuine defensive responsibility rather than a peripheral role. His per-match averages are solid rather than explosive, but his peak performances — 15 carries and 15 tackles in a single outing — show he can shoulder an exceptional workload when the game demands it. Seven tries from the number 8 position further underline his ability to convert his ball-carrying into direct scoring threat.
