I think Mariner on the wing will need to happen eventually, he will get alot more space there and his real advantage is his stupidly fast speed and finishing ability, which he will have more opportunities to use with Walsh and Reyno back.
Sure he has errors in him around the kick return side of his game but the positives will outweigh the negatives I feel, he was scoring a quite a few tries earlier in the year that wouldn't be possible with anyone else in our team playing wing.
Some of those issues could be a developmental thing that should have been addressed years prior giving him more games at Wing, because as far as I remember he basically was exclusively playing Centre in Cup?
Nearly all if not all the mins he has played Wing have been in first grade.
