I hope not. I've gone right off them.
I’m not too stressed either way to be honest. Talk is Maloney will leave Penrith at seasons end and he would be ideal for Dylan Brown’s development. Sezer also available at less cost as is a guy like Semi Radradra after the World Cup whom I’d make the highest paid player in the game and play him at fullback.

Being the best ball runner in any code in the world helps.

It does. He's a brilliant ball runner, but the modern fullback needs to be more than that these days.
How is his positioning in defence? His fitness to run the necessary yards per game? His ability to come into the attacking line and set up a try?

I'm not saying he can't do it, but you'd have to be pretty bloody certain he can if you are going to make him the highest paid player in the game.

As much as I love Semi... he would be a shit fullback as he doesn't have the work ethic needed to do the 1%rs for 80 mins.

Yep.

He'd be Jarryd Hayne without any of the creativity or playmaking ability. In and out of games and all he can do is run

People have been knocking Maloney but from the Penrith games ive seen hes been far better than Cleary and his defence is much improved this year over last. I reckon he is still a very dangerous attacking player and I would choose him ahead of Cleary in SOO this year. Regretably hes at that age where he might prove to be a salary cap burden. They say let them go one year early is better than one year too late.

Maloney is past it. Do not want.

Sezer is gash.
Yep. The best thing going for Sezer as a halfback is that Ricky Stuart doesn't rate him and is playing Sam Williams ahead of him... But I think even Sticky has Sezers number on this one.... He is rubbish....

Agree, I honestly thought he’d be lethal at 3/4. He could easily get out side his man and set up a winger. He actually did that in one or two games when he had the opportunity.... oh well

Semi has no passing game. He would be a waste at No.1.
He never had to have a passing game when he played for us, but i think he has some skill and could do ok ..... i reckon the relentless running etc would be more than he can handle tho
