Anybody who falls for the NSWRU hype that Australia needs a "hard man" with a little bit of "mongrel" talking him up as "the next Simon Poidevin"
and, of course, fails to realise that Poidevin would be unable to play in the modern game due to his level of "mongrel" but anybody with a balanced view would know that Poidevin was much better at rugby than Swinton, the mongrel was simply a way to pass the time.

I think he may have told them he would rather win a premiership with Brothers. Admirable that he would want to have that success with his mates but probably at the detriment of his wallaby aspirations. That is pure speculation anyway. I notice Hamish Stewart is also continuing with Brothers rather than going on the Force's tour.
