Maybe he wants to actually play rugby, we clearly were not too bothered if he came back to us or not (that's how I would have seen our decision in June). Just look at how some of our current players have been treated and underused.

Personally I would rather play somewhere I feel wanted than warm the bench at a big club

The whole situation is a bit funny to me. I think there's more to it than it looks. Why would there be a contract on the table from Leeds and presumably salary cap space allocated if Leeds weren't that fussed.

Griffin is a bone idle lazy prop I do not see how he gets a game at Leeds over Richard Moore who is also average Bailey is a complete liability and Peacock and Leuluai are past their best
Amor is young and will become a far better player than most of the above maybe better than Peacock admitted he as a way to go but age is on his side

Or maybe Leeds have d!cked him around for two years and he recognises that he's improved massively at Wakefield in an environment where he's happier than he's ever been before?

He's average and is obviously happy being an average fish in an average pond. Signing for Wakefield means he's given up any chance of ever winning anything other than man of the match in his career.

He couldnt get a game in an average Leeds front row so obviously isnt that good.

No loss at all IMO.

Apart from the fact that he was a 21/22 year old just stepping up from Championship rugby with Whitehaven, where was Jamie Peacock at 21 years old?

The way Wakefield are going they very well may be challenging for things over the next few years

Jamie Peacock/Kyle Amor.................really???????



Wakefield are gash and have improved due to SL being gash!

Wakefield challenging for something.....................other than 8th place I think not!!! Stay off the drugs



You are Richard Agar, I claim my £5

You make me ashamed to be a Leeds fan.

He makes a good point about Peacock being a very late bloomer. Also, you might want to take not but not everyone who plays for Leeds is the best player in the league and not everyone who plays for other clubs is ,

Jamie peacock was a late bloomer in the game. most props dont hit their best playing years till their late 20's so Kyle Amor has time on his side. he's moved to Wakefield for regular game time rather that being like Richard Moore and Darrell Griffin either warming the bench or not playing. Kyle is as good as both the players ive just mentioned. He may not have won anything with wakefield this year but with a couple of signings we could be pushing top 6 next season.

Look at the leeds wakey games last year then look at the games this year and i will say we have improved greatly on last season no reason we cant push on further

Had Peacock even made his first grade SL debut for Bradford at 21 or 22 years of age? I'm not sure he had. Think he spent some time on loan at Fev during his younger days and then buggered off to play in a local Wollongong-based RL competition after Matt Elliott told him he wasn't good enough and needed to learn some basics.

Ok - has no-one considered what could be a massive contributing factor to Amor's decision to stay at Wakey.

How much ££ was on the table from both clubs?

Kyle Amor is 25 years 4 months old

at 25 years 4 months JP was starting in a Bradford side that in 2001 were champions,and in 2002 had won the WCC, lost the LLS on points difference, and lost the GF by one point. The Bradford team he was part of went on to win the Championship & the Challenge Cup in 2003.

Kyle Amor is playing at a mid-table SL side (at best)
JP was playing in one of the top two sides in SL, and already had a clutch of medals.

JP was the better prop when he was 25, and at 34, he's still the better prop.

not on a weekly basis he isn't. he is in big games when it counts

Duh!

because that's a huge difference.

Correct.

It is.

Feel free to be ashamed if you like



I never said Amor was gash.........I think he's an average SL prop. I said IMO Wakefield are gash and SL is gash which I stand by.

He's left a club with potential of winning things to head to a club which IMO doesnt have that potential. Simple as that.

You and Fully should get together, what a pair.

I'd much rather have been a Wakfefield season ticket holder for the last two months of the season than a Leeds season ticket holder.

Given what they went through at the start of the year Wakefield have massively over achieved this year, to their credit. Given what is at Leeds disposal they have massively under achieved in the regular season, yet again.

I'm convinced Leeds just play the game as another above par play offs has shown. We've only underperformed once in the last 9 seasons, compared to our finishing position. Not too bad.

On a similar train of thought, I saw some adverts in huddersfield the other day for season tickets, and thought that the club should offer the opposite of the half season ticket offer Leeds do, but starts in Feb, and goes on until mid season when the cracks start to appear

I personally heard Brian McDermott state at a dinner last year that the aim was to be more consistent during the regular rounds than they were last year. On that score, they've failed. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the value of performing when it matters in the playoffs and found last year's championship very satisfying but when you see this group of players achieve the levels they do in October there's no doubt they've been underachieving since Feb.

do you feel cheated? after paying £300 for watching what was, frankly, rubbish at times i see the display in france and i think why should i bother with my ST next year

Leeds wanted to re-call Kyle and sell him to Hull FC.

Simple as that.

Then don't.

What is going to incentivise a change in the attitude around Headingley, other than fans voting with their wallets? I had a season ticket every year from 1982 through to 2007. At that time I decided I had other, more important things in my life I wanted to spend my money on, so rugby league took a back seat.

These days I'll pick and choose my games, might get to three or four a year and watch the rest from the comfort of my sofa.
