Satae won't be that much of a miss based on this year's performances. Had some great games over the years, but 8/9 carries a game just isn't worth the money he was probably looking for at this stage of his career.
Dwyer is the type of player we have needed, just not him. Too many erratic decisions in his game. Need somebody with his speed out of dummy half but with a lot more brains.
Swift is the main player I will be disappointed to lose.

Pretty much sums it up for me on all 3 players.
Satae, is a strange as I have a foot in both camps of disappointed & not to bothered. Yes he's very good on his day and when he ups his work rate. In reality for me he doesn't work hard enough or often enough in his stints on the field, he's also prone to defensive lapses. An average of under 10 carries a game is not nearly good enough either from one of the clubs main forwards.
Dwyer, has been a decent stop gap signing and has helped with speed and intensity at dummy half which we sadly lacked. However moving forward he is just not structured enough and too much of a headless chicken, granted he's created opportunities that we've scored from but for me he bombed just as many if not more by not being composed enough in his game.
Swift, be very disappointed if we do lose him which seems likely. He has been such a model pro and with a high level on consistency in performance both with and without the ball. He seems to have linked up well with Sutcliffe & Griffin on the left edge to which along with Clifford are starting to pose a genuine threat. No doubt he'll be difficult to replace with someone as good or better. Be nice is we can make a play to Catalan for Davies and tempt him to come here with as guaranteed a starting spot as possible as feel Catalans starters will likely be Johnstone & Yaha.
