Never in doubt, Samson didn't even think of passing it, regularly covers that distance at training, he is a very, very good kick both field and goal for a big man, (a couple of practice match anomalies aside).
This bodes very well for the future, in time I still see him as a ruckman who will be dangerous resting forward but he certainly made a good fist of predominantly fwd role.
Will be interesting as Dimma said of our taller forward line, something like, "at various times it looked really really good and others a bit sloppy and cumbersome so we will work our way through that"
