Not neccessarily. You'd expect the top 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.

This is gonna bite us imo maybe not next year but further down the line.
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 [iavailable[/i options (or at least what [iwere[/i the options) Amor is surely a better attribute to complement the [iavailable[/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.

With our recent prop recruitment/retention policy and with the Bradford connections in our coaching team i wouldn't be surprised if we signed Fielden

I'm not sure if Amor would of been the answer to our problems in the prop department because looking good for Wakey and helping Leeds to get from 4th/5th up towards the current top 2 is a big difference but i think it was worth trying as we must be starting to be comfortably under the salary cap especially if we lose 1 or 2 more in the likes of Hauraki and Moore.

Rather steal Kopczak from under the Giants noses if possible.

Amor will be a Hull player, they're payin double what Wakey are. If what I've been told is true I'm not surprised Leeds are letting him go. Is he worth 70-80k a year at this point in his career?

Hull the new Warrington?

What you have heard is wrong then Wakey have offered more than Hull and rumour has it Saints are making a bid Wakey holding out for big fee kyle has two years to cgo on contract.

He can't play for saints. Sal says he isn't good enough
