am i on the right/wrong track? i'm a lvl 40/43 combo back

currently have:

bruiser - 1 (don't use because of 25% elusive run style)
mr. reliable - 8
punishing runner - 2
red zone freak - 1
return man - 3 (was a PR earlier part of career and wish to go back to it before i retire)
SYM - 6
Slippery - 1 (don't use because of 25% elusive run style)
Tenacious - 2

Was wondering if i should reset the points in bruiser and slippery because due to my run style as expllained above, neither of these VAs are put to use (i got them when i was trying to decide on the exact run style so that's why i have both).

Also wanted to put some more into SYM and mr. reliable? are these good VAs though? which are the best for Combo backs?

i want to put some into red zone freak but not sure if this is a good VA to have? What about the attribute VAs?

No idea what the build looks like, but odds are it's better to run 50 elusive or 50 power and use either Bruiser or Slippery.

This is a bit of a mess VA-wise, but I'd reset Bruiser, Mr. Reliable, Return Man, Punishing Runner and RZF and drop all of it into Slippery and run at 50 elusive. Use the spare for Steady Grip, and build that more as the season goes on. And next season, reset SYM and Tenacious for Quick Feet ... and that's purely me guessing that you've got Elusive SAs.

Should be:

Slippery (if youre a more agile combo and not as much strength heavy)
AND/OR Brusier if youre more strength based

SYM
Quick Feet (if you have fakes)

i personally don't think i am fast or agile enough to run at 50% elusive.

You need either Brusier or Slippery. Pick one and go with that running style. I'd go with slippery.

i personally don't think i am fast or agile enough to run at 50% elusive. i've tried 50% before and found running at 10-25% elusive fit my back more. plus i'm not sure if you would say i'm more agile combo since my agility is actually lower than my strength. but at the same time my strength is clearly not enough to effectively use bruiser. any advice on this matter or on other good VAs?

Your strength is never going to be high enough to run Brusier effectively.
Dump all your SP into agility until it reaches 73
Continue dumping all your equipment into speed
If you do decide to make your own AEQ go with:
+3 str and +BT%
+3 str and +Fake%
+3 str and +Spin SA

Pick up Slippery
SYM
Quick Feet

Get rid of them, focus on those 3 VAs first
