That's a lot of cap and QS and I dont think I'd care about losing any or all of them.
I'd keep Austin TBH. Im pretty sure we'll struggle to replace both halves in one go. The rest I'd let go. Bentley can be very good, I'm undecided if we should retain or not. Depends on salary cap.

I'm open to keeping Bentley, mainly because he has bags of potential if he can reclaim his Sts form, but also because Martin needs to be kept on his toes form-wise. Bentley is also english, moved to Leeds because it's his home town club, and won't cost the earth.
I'd rather let Sezer and Austin go, providing we can get 2 halfs in. The problem is we need to prioritise a half with speed. Austin isn't exactly an organiser, so if we can get a quick, explosive running half, do we opt to keep Sezer instead even though his forms been worse?
I doubt we'll get two decent halfbacks in one go either. Its got to be horses for courses, as Sezer and Austin are very different styles. That's supposed to be a good thing but they've rarely actually played that well together for us (that's another issue).
We've seen before what happens when you try to play without an organising halfback - umpteen combinations of Myler, Sutcliffe etc failed miserably. I guess Sinfield is the future hope there, but would you want to rely on him next season? I'm not even fully convinced he's going to make a SL player yet, let alone run the team. Problem is if we bring in someone for two or three years (which we might need to do to attract someone) does that mean Sinfield will leave regardless?
Its all very hard, and I'm glad I'm not the one having to make decisions. Get it right and we're set. Get it wrong and we'll be having this same discussion in two or three years.

Agree re Bentley. You've convinced me that we should keep
There's no way we'll get two good halves in at the same time, it would cost a fortune. But, what do we know ?
