Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3588367, member: 9881"] Exactly right. I dont think yesterday should tarnish Mariners reputation. Sure he probably played himself out of the wing position but I think he played like a bloke who thought it was beneath him. His punishment ironically is being stuck at that level for a little while longer. His body language and demeanor was that of someone sulking and half assed rather than someone hungry for a rd 1 spot. He could just as easily come out and score 3 next week with 200+ metres and no errors and be back in the hunt. Not unheard of for outside backs to have a sloppy pre-season game especially the younger ones. He isn’t a write off never to be seen again all year cause he had a crappy pre-season game. Like isn’t that what this is all about? Getting that shit out of your game before rd 1. It’s a learning experience and it just means that he will have to put on an incredible performance next week to get back in the hunt. The game is not even the remotest representation of his ability. He played his skin out in NRL last year, I’ll back that Mariner over yesterdays when it comes time to make a selection call. I just don’t think for Mariner that said call will be in rd 1. [/QUOTE]
