I feared a lisfranc and it sounds like a foot fracture. You will be lucky if Sam's back this year they don’t heal. Rehab doesn't mean much in the foot no blood-flow.

No real story, he was just never known to be someone who would do anything other than the basic requirements.
Samuela is known to go over and beyond to get the best out of himself, but others have mentioned there is not much that can be done to speed up the healing process with his type of injury.
Whatever the case he’s a big loss when he is not playing.
 
I hear up to 12 weeks to recover for Sam , this is a really sad injury for him , always puts in and does the hard stuff very well , but I think it is also a very very big loss to our team , Sione hopefully can do the job and I think he will grow even more doing it but first up few games may take time for him to get set and gel with his players on that side , KPP coming back strengthens us on that side but API in the middle with defence is also a big loss ( 40 tackles ) hope won’t do that so we need to really be defence focused this week ,
 
Wow 12 weeks is long. I am sure it would be mutiple little bones involved.

Did someone land on him or step on him or something? I can't seem to find a single video of his injury. Maybe he was jumping for a ball and landed on his toes.

Having seen a few of these injuries in clinic, age and health is a big factor. He's young, fit, has a good diet, doesn't smoke etc so I hope he has a good recovery.

Hopefully he can avoid surgery.

Good lucky Sammy!

A very small plus is that he had his knee taped, so potentially allows him to rest both injuries during that time.

On a positive hopefully our season isnt a lost cause by then. A fresh Samuela into a finals run would be great.
