I'm not saying Ambler will be better than Singleton etc. I'm just saying there have been young big forwards we've let go who have gone on to be decent props - Fozzard, Anderson, Moore himself spring to mind.

As it stands I think the main danger we face down the road is having a logjam of average forwards around.

Your last sentence is too true. Which is exactly why you don't mess about holding back youngsters who look the part. You give them the opportunity. If they don't make the grade then, then they take a step back and you replace. But give it a go.

I watched the U20s on the Leed site (BTW the quality is really poor, or it could be my eyesight but I thought all the Chemics lads had mullets - but now I THINK they have some kind of mark on the back of their shirts) and was impressed by the highlights TBH. I thought Leeds looked big and fast across the field. I couldn't really tell who was who apart from when they scored, although Ward stood out a bit.

Was at the shay tonight and thought Luke had a good game, made good yards, plenty of carries and looked up for it, one knock on from what I can remember.

Do we think he will make it?

Hard to say i thought he did well at Fax last night and at times he looked decent when given a run but for me i'd take Singleton AND Amor before him.

i'm guessing he is going to probably stay at halifax now? www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/sport/h ... -1-4633703

Yep looks like we've seen the alst of Ambler i just hope the re-signing of Kylie and JP doesn't cost us D.Smith and Singleton.

The initial signings of our other over 30's props (Griff/Moore) won't help their chances either.

Depressing. Amor will be the next to go for good.

So much was GH's proclamation.

Singleton and D.Smith won't be far behind.

lets remember GH signed Amor and Amber and put them at the coaches disposal. If the coach had been selecting them, they would have still been here. This coach and the last, for whatever reasons, would not select them ahead of the incumbent so they have moved on, on loan for the time being.

Luke has been very impressive and has in virtually every game shown his class and really I think is way too good for Championship rugby. But if Leeds think he is not good enough then thats OK and I am sure Luke will be happy enough to play for his hometown club. Sam Barlow is another Halifax lad that has had Hull KR amongst other SL clubs chasing him and has said "No". Its good for the championship clubs to see some SL quality players playing at that level and there are no real easy games as can be seen by the tightness of the championship bar York and Hunslet.
