Quote: Michigan red "Sorry but fail to see where the midfield strength comes from, Swain like him or loathe him is undeniably a rock in the middle of the park, think for Salford he will have saved a considerably higher number of tries with his tackling than even the greatest #13 ever would. maybe if he's a glorofoed second rower we should do something like actually try him there. Not the greatest lover of Wild, ask yourself would a team like Hudds be letting him go if he was still the potent force he was - Mark Edmondson comparisons abound for me.'"
In my opinion Stephen Wild has more pace and would offer much more of an attacking threat whilst still averaging 32 tackles a game. If the rumours are true and we get Wild this would free up another vital overseas spot.
Your comment about Patten's signing being kind of nullified by Swain's departure is ridiculously premature considering the club will be releasing several players and making a lot of new signings.
On the subject of Kevin Sinfield, saying he wouldn't be very good at loose forward without his kicking game is like saying Luke Swain wouldn't be any good but for his work rate.
