| I said in the close season Wakefield get Ali and Amor.......Leeds prefer Kirke and Moore. I was bemused then and nothing has happened to change my mind.
I have other often repeated gripes too

| decision deferred to end of season and Kyle gets to choose where he goes.
Strange decision ? Leeds either want him back or don't.

Another head scratcher by the club
Great way to show a player he's wanted!

If that's the case then the offer should be withdrawn imo.

| This is a no brainer now for Amor. We've messed him about for 2 years and now seemingley cannot make a decision on him so we let him choose. Only 1 decision he will make now, stay at the team that have given him a proper chance in SL and where he's enjoying his Rugby. Why would he turn that down to return to us and join the back of the prop queue.
Smacks of indecision to me this.
Surely we and Wakey need to know now what is going to happen as surely it effects both clubs possible retention and signing off other players for next season?
A bit of a 'what if' but IF we really are interested in Taylor from Hull KR then surely we need to know NOW whether we've got Amor for next season to decide whether to bring Taylor in or not (assuming there's only room for 1 of them and not both)

| Lets not make assumptions here, for all we know Amor may have requested this so he can see the season out with Wakefield before switching to Leeds. Or it could be that Leeds wanted to recall him but Wakefield negotiated this option. Maybe Leeds haven't got the cap space right now but may have by next season.
We just don't know.

He was always there for the full season, regardless of what decision was made. We know that.
The agreement was Leeds had to let the player and Wakefield know they wanted him for next season by midnight on the 31st July. He was always going to be at Wakefield for the remainder of this season though.

Obviously they don't .... Either 'the sleeve' has something up his sleeve or the club has discovered the elixer of life to allow Peacock, Kylie, Moore etc to continue on forever
if it was some technically of cap space until the end of THIS season, it would not stop the club announcing its intention of taking him back he start of next season if he was in their long term plans.

Cap space? We haven't replaced the salaries of Buderus, Senior and Lauititi yet. Also Smith has just gone and Webb will be gone next year. Also the deal wasn't to bring Amor back right now.
That said, perhaps the deal is contingent on us offloading Kirke or Moore for next season, or Leuluai doing a Scott Donald, because we've got a couple of blockbuster deals in the pipeline that will take us towards full cap for next year if they come off

Can you say anymore on the couple of blockbuster deals in the pipeline?

No, because like everyone else here I don't actually know anything about them.

You're right. He was never coming back to us this year. yesterday was simply the deadline for us stating whether we wanted him next year or not.
All this means is they've extended the deadline until the end of the year and are going to let Kyle commit to which club he wants to play for. Makes sense, why force a player to come back if his heart is elsewhere.
That said, leeds should want Kyle back and they should be convincing him to come back. If I were were I'd want some assurances about where I fit in the prop rotation and from what I've seen he'd certainly be one of Leeds first choice props.

Pretty much spot on. You'd expect them to want him to stay, and let him know.
Of course, this will probably have all been carried out behind closed doors, so he could well be coming back, and the news being held back for a 'rainy day'
