Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3698491, member: 9372"] Years ago, Mariner is exactly the type of player you could put on the wing while he got up to speed with a view to shifting him inside eventually. Nowadays, Mariner is too small to produce metres on kick returns and early set hit-ups and so has limited value as a winger. Unless he managed to put it together in the centres (he still might, and I hope he does), I can't really see any other spot for him in the team. He wouldn't be the first player with plenty of pace to burn and a wicked step who ends up not cracking regular first grade. Most in that boat end up over in Super League and often dominate over there. We are so thin in the back row we don't have much choice with Piakura. I hope Madge has tasked a forward leader like Patty with being on his back constantly to make sure he's focused and not daydreaming, because he has so much talent but its so obvious sometimes that he's just not thinking or paying attention closely. I'm really hoping we see a renewed focus and intensity from both these guys under Madge. [/QUOTE]
