Leeds Rugby Ltd is a business. A business' sole purpose is to make money.
Imagine for a second that you run a company supplying Teddy Bears. You're doing pretty well, winning the prestigious "Teddy Manufacturer of the Year" award for 3 years in a row! Anyway, you're massively overstaffed, but don't really want to sack someone cos Jim is close to retirement.
The Teddy Bear company down the road (who's not doing so well, and are about to have to close down!) says... "We're really short staffed, and struggling to fulfil orders can we borrow Mark, and not only will we pay his wage, we'll also give you a bit of cash to say thanks!". You'd think to yourself, well, Mark is only really sweeping the floors here, it would be good if he got to actually make a few Teddies before Jim retires, and the cash would help! Sure... off you go Mark!.
Then... Disney call... It's a big order!! "We need a company who's able to supply us with 10,000 Teddies."
Now, as a businessman, you know the little factory down the road cannot possibly even begin to compete with you to win that order, after all, you won "Teddy Manufacturer of the Year" in '07, '08 & '09, and they've won nothing!
BUT...
What if, even though you're bigger, and better, and still had the capability to supply the 10,000 teddies, during the production a machine gets a fault, then you have a power cut, and Jim's dog dies so his mind isn't on the job, then the van gets a flat tyre, and the stuffing you've ordered isn't what it was supposed to be and through no real fault of your own the rival company wins the Disney contract.
Would Mark have made any difference to any of that? No, he wouldn't have fixed the machine, or stopped a power cut, or saved Jim's dog, or repaired the tyre, in fact, he'd probably be still just sweeping your floors, but because they had that extra pair of hands that just made them that little bit more able to compete. Just having what you considered "only a floor sweeper" to help them pack a few boxes, meant the could just about muster the 10,000 teddies together in time to compete with your big arrogant corporation. Gutted.'"
In the 9 years or so I've been lurking on this forum, this is possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever read  Saying that, I do appreciate the effort you've put into this posting (and many others), so I doth my cap in your direction.
I think your point is bonkers and pretty incidental with regards to Leeds' success/failure this coming season, so why I'm biting on this for a 3rd time, I don't know?!
So with that, I'm out

| "Teddy Manufacturer of the Year"
You could have chosen a Supermarket....an Electricians...plumbers - any day to day business but instead you choose a teddy bear manufacturers PMSL.
Remarkable indeed.
Back onto the subject I don't know what the fuss is all about. I'm happy he is playing for Wakefield and I'm happy we will see him tested against a good pack. If Leeds lose to Wakefield it will not be because Amor was playing against us...on paper Leeds should put 40 past Wakefield so if we lose it will be nobodys fault apart from the Leeds matchday squad. |

Whatever the rights or wrongs, I'm looking forward to seeing him against us. To see what he can produce.
There may be more fuel on this fire if he punches holes all over Kirke and Cross.

I reckon Kirke has information on major skeletons in GH's cupboard....and shared it with Buderus so he could blackmail same said CEO into bringing his mate Cross over.
What other explanation can there be for favouring these two over Ambler and Amor ? ? |

Not sure your devious plan worked.
For someone who had a busy week lined up I never (not even in my wildest dreams) imagined it would involve a complex thesis on 'The Principals Of Teddybear Manufacture In The 21st Century.'

I have actually had a busy week. I type & think (or not as the case may be!) fast.
Couldn't even begin to tell you how much is going on at the moment. I'm actually using this forum as a bit of a release at the moment. Hence my posts being EVEN MORE lengthy and incomprehensible than normal! |

Why don't you just 'release' in the most natural form? Instead of tapping away on here start.............

Why exacly was Amor loaned out, im guessing to gain SL expierence ? he was given the blessing of BM to play against Leeds in his words" i would like to see him play a good team" and we are a good team, Surely if we have the blessing of BM and GH and we are paying his wages we are entitled to play him ???? or do leeds have the right to tell JK when to play him ??

| So, for those at the game today and, to keep everyone else happy, our radio experts how did Amor do?
Would he improve our pack or did he not look to have kicked on from last year's below par efforts? |

He looked more comfortable than he did when 1st appeared for us mate ,ran it in hard and did'nt look out of place but our pack handled him so i'd happily leave him there for more SL experience.
