The people in the Sezer camp on the other hand seem to hold absurd this underlying belief that he just hasn't come good yet and is actually good enough to lead us to a premiership. Almost as if the last three years of performances and his clear lack of ability mean nothing when he comes back to make 9 tackles and take an intercept try.
It doesn't matter what Sezer does, please understand - he is not good enough. He is being paid twice what our back up is yet the very fact we continue to have these debates about the two tells you all you need to know about his lack of quality as a front liner.
We cannot get a quality halfback to this club soon enough. You don't get anywhere with Aidan Sezer as your halfback. The day he leaves will be **** momentus, if only to stop the ludicrous arguments on behalf of those who seem to still think he's a budding superstar.
Why do people have to have a “camp”? Why can’t you change your opinion based on the facts in front of you? I was happy for Williams to stay in the team after the first few wins he had because I thought he’d earned his spot. But it was obvious to me that he still has the same deficiencies in his game he’s always had, and Sezer at his best complements the team perfectly, as we saw last night (although he still has plenty of improvement to come IMO)
This whole idea that once you’ve made up your mind on a player you have to stick with it until the end of time is absolutely rubbish
My opinions don't change like a piss in the wind mate, and my position doesn't change in a total sense unless I see something substantial occur. Change opinions based on the facts - has the last 3 years of crap from Sezer STILL not convinced you?. Or to trundle out an old classic, do you still think he needs to time to 'gel'.
No halfback we have is good enough. We desperately need a good one to realise our potential as a team.
Williams is a good back up, he's cheap, he's professional, we can reliably play him when we need to.
Sezer is not a starting player and his output v cost ratio is far lower than Williams'. If he wants to earn around Williams' salary and be a backup, then it's a different discussion.
I would rather Williams get the game time because to me he's the one should stay (as a back up) and Sezer's the one who clearly needs replacement.
If a 5-6/10 performance from a guy that is widely considered as a bottom rung half is proof as fact that he's right for the job, you probably need to consider your understanding of the game.
