Swinton's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging seven per match across 14 appearances points to a player who is consistently central to his team's defensive structure. His carrying output is steady rather than dominant, though a single-game peak of 52 metres shows he can make ground in bursts when the opportunity presents. That combination of reliable defence and selective ball-carrying impact reflects the profile of a hard-working, high-volume flanker.
