Quote ="Kosh"One word - Swain.
I think subconsciously we all want another Swain and sadly we aren't going to get one.'"
Yeah, he unfairly set the bar to a generally unattainable level. It's possibly underappreciated just how much of a freak (in a good sense) he was. But being fair to Houghton, he is actually getting through even more tackles than Swain did, which is staggering to think about, really. Quite a few more, even. The most tackles Swain made in a regular season for us was 907. Houghton has done over 1000 in each of the last 3 years and 4 out of the last 5. He's doing too much work.
