| Bring him back for 2013 along with Luke Ambler. Let the old guard retire gracefully.

| It would be an absolute joke if this lad was not retained.Has not had a bad game that i have seen since he went to Wakey,and was close to being the best forward last night.
I actually still think JP has something to offer.He made good yards last night when on the field but does need to be doing less minutes.Problem is,with garbage like Moore and Hauraki in the squad he is probably forced to.
Bring back Amor!!!

| Average prop.......don't know what the fuss is about. He looked ok against a pack that couldn't be bothered last night as it wasn't an important game.......or thats what it seemed like to me.
Remember Leeds only turn up when it suits them these days and last night certainly didn't suit them.
Back on subject Amor is decent, no more, no less............not a big loss if he goes as would hope Griffin and Moore's showing last night proved we need to sign a "good" prop not replace them with Kyle Amor.

| Yes,im sure we would all agree that leeds didnt turn up last night and im certainly not claiming Amor to be a 'great' prop.But he could on the evidence i have seen since his switch, provide much better squad value that Moore, Harauki and Griffin.
'Good' props are not easy to attain these days.We wont be getting quality from the NRL..see Ben Cross.So to let this lad go when he is just coming into his prime years and already on our books would be foolish IMO.

| The little I've seen of Amor has really impressed me - IMO it would be a huge mistake not to recall him.

I would agree with what you say regarding Amor bringing "good value" and overall better value than Moore, Harauki and Griffin who sadly have underachieved.
I wouldn't be averse to retaining Amor and letting others go..........just pointing out he isn't the "saviour" of our front row that some seem to suggest simply because our front row has gone backwards.

| Amor is distinctly average. What we would gain by bringing him back I do not know. We should be setting our sights way higher than that.

Would mean there would be less chance we'd play Hauraki. Amor is a competant player who can manage to catch a ball and tackles. Unlike others..........

I don't think Amor would have any bearing on Hauraki.
However, any crumb of hope in order to enure that guy never pulls a Leeds shirt on again, I suppose is worth it.

Whilst As you say Amor may not be more than average he is is 25 and for a prop that is still relatively young.
in the next 2 seasons we will be losing JP,Kylie for sure.Moore and Griffin will be 33/34 and shot if they aint already.Kirke also.Even Bailey will be wrong side of 30.Who does that leave? Singleton who although promising is still untested.D Smith also.
Whilst i agree we are going to need some quality,Where are these top props going to come from in such a short space of time? Amor should be retained.

Sadly have to agree!
When we signed Hauraki I actually thought he was a decent signing although couldn't see why we needed another back rower..........however I am sad to say he has been a real waste of a salary which certainly would have been better spent elsewhere.
Probably a lovely bloke..........just not worked out for him with Leeds!

Scott Taylor of Hull KR is available at the end of the season, if Leeds are looking to bring in a young British front rower, it should be him.

FC Bound apparently but i would welcome him here.
Agree Biff T ,Amor would add some depth and is the right age to continue his development.

Pity if thats the case, but looking on the Rovers site seems like thats the way its going to go.
Anyone in the u20s ready for a game? could really do with freshening things up for the next month, JJB looks flogged, and the general lack of enthusiasm and poor discipline seemed contagious yesterday.

Exactly.
You'd bend Amor into the team just to keep the threat of Hauraki from playing!
Hauraki just seems to -himself everytime he gets the chance again in the first team and in the 20's he's never the stand-out performer but successfully manages to get would up by kids. The guy's a puzzle and a liability in equal measure.
He's not a solid tackler, offers jack with the ball.
This isn't a rash judgement, I've seen enough.
These are the scrag ends we need to cut ties with and write off as a failed signing (like we did with Cross).

He'd be an improvement on Moore and Kirke. A 25-year-old Amor would be an improvement going forward on a 34-year-old Leuluai.
Not saying he's a world-beater but Leeds would be crackers not to take up the option.
Which would be a better prop cohort for next year and beyond:
Peacock, Griffin, Amor, Taylor, Bailey, Singleton
Peacock, Leuluai, Griffin, Bailey, Kirke, Moore

Spot on. JP looks 'shot' to me and I just hope he has one big game left in his tank at Wembley.
As for Hauraki, his handling is truly abysmal and has been ever since he came to Leeds.

| To be honest a massive club like Leeds shouldn't be wasting their time with jokers like Amor, leave the mediocre players like him to us cellar dwellers. Why not snap up goldilocks from Huddersfield?

| Heard at the Bradford game Hauraki will be going to Cas or Wakefield. I thought he really improved at the back end of last season, but he's been really poor this year.
Would like us to bring Amor back, think the lengthy contracts for Moore and Griffin could prevent that though.
Thought it was sad how good our forwards made Raleigh look last night.

| To be fair Peacock put in a massive effort into last nights game, Brian Mac needs
to think about giving him a break,otherwise he will be burnt out come the end of
season play offs.
