It's quite difficult to suggest anything from his stats given he has played 12 games, but his strike rate is excellent.

His average gain is well above average, he is very low on both penalty count and missed tackles.

Slightly high on the errors.

But I would suggest that if the NRL are sniffing about he's a bit better than average.

I really doubt they are.
Adam could be very good, excellent even, but he's unproven. A full season with similar stats to his few games this year could have them calling, but then i think his strike rate would have him even surpass Charnley's new try scoring record

Just the Sun making up stories again for me

I don't see your point. I've never said he's terrible, he's always clearly been a solid player. My point is that he's not in SLs top 5 wingers, so why would an NRL side want him?

Potential is the reason a NRL team would be interested in Adam and he's got bags of it.

This is a lad that has burst on the scene scoring tries for fun and he's still not full time pro. It's not just his try scoring tho, he's dangerous with the all, good in defence, good on kicks ( he's still new to the wing), he's brave and he's a good hard worker.

IMO that's why NRL club maybe in for him.

I think we should change his name from Swift to Snail, that might put the NRL off.

The latest this morning is that Sale Sharks are also chasing Adam, this is from Nosey Parker, who supplies a lot to The Sun?? Not sure were they get all their money from, last home game they had 5,500 which I suppose it is better than the Salford Reds, but do they get more handout from The Premiership? the amount of money they get from Aviva, which was £20 million from 2010 for 4 years and they have already agreed a further 3 year extension, plus the £152 Million from BT Sport (how long will this last with BT) I can't understand how Sale got the naming rights for The Stadium, Dr Koukash wanted to buy it outright at one stage, and Salford Council needed the money, is it just typical RL?

It sounds like these journalists are getting their sharks mixed up.

Re: Adam Swift : Mon Oct 14, 2013 9:34 am  

When's his contract end date?
Could it be his agent just trying to get him a better deal sooner?

Hi Jaybs, I think you will find that when Sale made the move from Stockport Salford where technically insolvent. That meant that with Peel Holdings and the council who are junior partners Sale looked for a sweetner and that was what happened with the naming rights. I think I am correct in saying part of the sweetner for the good Doctor was the low cost acquisition of land around the stadium. By the way Rogues have you been banned from cherry vee it must be a first for a Wiganer that.

Where does it say Sale are after him? In Parker's column in today's rugby paper it says Cronulla, not Sale.
