Yeah I agree, Swift's work rate has been very good this year. He comes up with the occasional howler but it's a trade off I'm happy to make, especially with his pace. Yeah at u19s level he was still on pay as you play for some time, he played as a stand off too from what I remember of him dancing past me to score.

I reckon Swifty could play wing, full back and running stand off with the confidence he has gained this season, good work rate he's worked hard on his game this year.

I've not seen any indication his passing is good enough to play fullback or stand off (running stand off or not). I really rate him as a winger but it's very rare his decision making with the ball gets challenged there. I wouldn't mind seeing it out of curiosity with him maybe at fullback in a friendly, but if Saints haven't entertained the possibility yet, there's probably a good reason for it.

50 tries in 68 games for Swift. 87 tries in 118 games for Makinson.

Not bad at all.
