Mariner may be another one of those that has been promoted to NRL too early.If Shibasaki is in does that mean Mariner to wing and Arthurs out or vice versa - Arthurs is more consistent but Mariner has that extra something??
He's only played 22 games of Qcup and that was spread across two seasons, so last year was his first full year of football week in week out and he was playing a new position on the wing.
I think he would've benefited playing in Qcup last year, but the FOMO and decision to bring him straight into NRL means it will be seen as a demotion if he's sent back there now.
