| Amor has questionably been wakeys POTY, he and Raleigh dominated the Leeds pack when the two teams played at Wakefield, I believe given a proper run in the team, he would turn out to be a fantastic signing! And anyone who believes Amor is an 'average' player, is speaking total bol$@cks!!

| Quote tad rhino="tad rhino"Again fair points. But is he really worse than moore or griffin? And sal, thats rubbish, sorry. He may have been poor at leeds early on but anyone can see he has matured and been outstanding this season. Not to recall him is short sighted and stupid'"
Graham we must agree to disagree - he was distinctly average at HQ in game one and I go back to my original point are any of the top sides wanting to sign him? If he was as good as you are saying one of them would be in for him.

| Not neccessarily. You'd expect the =#0000BFtop teams (Leeds and Hull will likely as not finish this season next to each other outside the top four) to have their squad places reasonably settled and they may not be looking to recuit in the prop position in any case.
Leeds' loss (if it happens) will be Wakefield/Hull's gain but it won't be the first or the last time Leeds' investment in a player will benefit another SL team.
Somebody mentioned Carvell earlier in the thread. IMO, he was a big lad but lazy when at Leeds, he only became a loss years after leaving.

I'll have to disagree David.
By game one do you mean the cup game? He was immense in his first stint in that game. Same in the league game more recently. IU have noticed a trend of his first sting being far more effective than his second stint.
But I've seen him play Leeds three times so far and a few times beyond that for Wakefield. He should certainly be part of Leeds first choice 4 prop rotation on form. easily, over the course of the year shown better form than Griffin, Kirke and probably Kylie and Bailey for that matter.
Not to mention his age. Peak years ahead for him. Aren't all Leeds props bar Bailey over 30?

| We should definitely have him back. Better than most of the props we have now!! He would be starting prop for leeds next year if i were in charge!
hardaker, BJB, Watkins, Ablett, Hall, Sinfield, McGuire, Amor, Burrow, JP, Delaney, JJB, Ward.....Hood/McShane/Lunt, Achurch, Bailey, Kylie. Would be my first choice 17 providing there were no other signings.

I do hope Singleton gets gametime and we re-sign D.Smith.

The way folks are talking he is the next Shane Webke? He had a good 20 minutes in the cup game but his second stint was innocuous same in the first game at HQ. Are folks wanting him back because he is so good or because our props are so bad?
There are a host of props in SL that are far better than him - Warrington have 5 for a start, Saints have 3, Wigan similar, Catalans the same - if we are to challenge the top sides on a regular basis we need a similar quality of player. Our recruitment should be comparatively based on the best not on what we have now.

Apparently Saints have made an 11th hour bid for Amor as a replacement for Josh Perry who is said to be heading home at the end of this season

Well of course we should....but the reality on the ground is that we haven't. So on the basis of the [i[uavailable[/u[/i options (or at least what [iwere[/i the options) Amor is surely a better attribute to complement the [i[uavailable[/u[/i registered players than the likes of Kirke...or Griffin...or just about any other prop we have based on an outlook greater than one bluddy year at the most if we're lucky.
