A Cust/sezer pairing at halfback is far better than an Abdul/Sezer pairing, Cust provides that running option whereas Abdul and Sezer are very similar players....wonder if it's too late to pull out of the Abdul deal and use that money elsewhere on a centre or forward

Yeah, that would be a really smart move wouldn't it. That would do our reputation with players and agents the world of good.

Also Asista is an 80 minute player, think Leigh have been cautious with him since his injury, but most games he plays 80 minutes

A fit Abdul (I know) has a better running game than both of those.

He has already signed and is non quota, not sure how releasing him would help, no good having his cap money if there isn't a quality centre or forward to replace him with.

Running to Kashmir ?

Just being realistic. You cannot sign a player and then release him for no reason other than you've changed your mind. The club is enough of a basket case as it is.

Wouldn’t be surprised with something like…

1. Rapana
6. Cust
7. Sezer
9. Borough
13. Asiata

Abdul as interchange 13, Asiata can’t do 80 minutes.

People saying Abdull won’t play 13 I have no idea what the thinking is with JA but think Cartwright must really like Cust wouldn’t be surprised to see him start as the 6. We were desperate for a halfback for this season and seemingly didn’t show an interest in him when he was available after what was a pretty solid couple of years in a winning side, strange that we now sign him after a disappointing season. Highly thought of at Manly JC must have a plan for him.
