Quote barham red="barham red" Netherton is defensively miles ahead of mariano and as we're defensively woeful he is the better option.

Netherton being 'defensively miles ahead of mariano' hasn't affected our defence a jot as YOU have just confirmed.
But maybe there just isnt enough 'make no yards but can tackle' type players in the squad.
So how many do we need 3?, 4?, 5?.
Should we get Iain Morrison back if Nethertons 'uber defensive' skill's isn't actually enough to make any diffrence at all on his own.
Or perhaps using a defensive mind set everytime we take the field is the wrong idea, Perhaps (I know its 'out there' but bare with me) we should actually look to get at teams instead of just playing an easily readable and easily defused safety first game plan that became outdated years ago.
Watch how other teams play none of them play such a defensive, boring and negative game plan.
Netherton should be a SQUAD player and nothing more Mariano actually creates points/tries (Remember them?)and in the way we have been playing recently that would have made a hell of a lot more diffrence that Mr 'Can tackle' who has actually made ZERO difference.
