Signed for 2 years at Wakefield

Good on him, better to play every week with no pressure than test yourself trying to win things.

Another clanger dropped by Leeds (if confirmed) IMO - apart from the girly hair Amor has all the attributes to be a great front rower.

Kyle "subo" Amor confirmed, club website &Sky Sports.

Don't really care to be honest. As long as somebody else wasn't getting a fee for him, that's all that concerned me.

We need much better.

Depends what you mean. He'd have been a useful squad player but a barnstorming, top-line forward capable of matching the best? Not for me, a bit of a poor man's Eorl Crabtree.

Not shocked, and cannot blame him, he seems to be enjoying his rugby, wakey have certainly moved forward this year and he gets regular rugby, I would guess more money too, no brained really good luck to him

He seems to be Consistent and improving year on year and has only just hit mid 20's so as a Wakefield fan I'm happy with that.

Agree he is a good signing, wouldn't have been dissapointed if we got him back. Still loads of improvement in him. And with two "bigger" clubs in for him good signs for the spirit in your camp that he wants to remain. A good acquisition for wakey

I'm hoping we sign at least 1 very good prop because imo if we dont i think we've ballsed up by not recalling him when we had chance.

Excellent news......if you're a fan of Leeds and its preferred policy of retaining ageing, crumbling, regularly out muscled forwards.

How long are we going to hold back Singleton?

I only ask because had we signed him, and still utilising Peacock, Kylie, Bailey, and Griffin, how would Singleton have got a game?

You forgot Moore



Face it ....Singleton will end up somewhere else too ..... crocked ancient forwards rule ok

He's an ok player but if he had never been on the Leeds books I very much doubt many would have batted an eye lid on this board to be honest.

I didn't forget Moore, because Moore has hardly had an opportunity, and IMO has been criminally under utilized.

In truth, I would wager that Moore on his day is at least the equal of Amor.

Those that think getting rid of Moore, Hauraki, and Kirke is the answer to all our problems are sadly mistaken. We will still have the same 17 out on squad days.

.....but he [iwas[/i

It's hard to understand why the likes of Moore, Kirke and even Griffin (who has been hugely disappointing) were all considered a better option, considering all are aged and past their best, BUT [uno better[/u than the much younger Amor.

I disagree with you on about 95% of your sometimes strange posts but I couldn't agree more on this one.



Apart from Hauraki, we would be better with 12 men than have him on the pitch.

I think all three are better than Amor. Amor has had a few good games, but he's got a long way to go before he would be starting for Leeds every week.

I think some people are trying to pin a poor season on poor recruitment and the only player that half fits this theory is Amor, and of course then there's just Nantwichexile....

How many Leeds players have left and gone on to better things?

If Leeds don't think Amor has what it takes for the club, then I trust them
Good luck to the lad...he won't win any trophies at Wakey, but he'll be playing regulary and getting paid.

He won't be missed at Leeds.

......yep ! I just don't have enough blind faith . I repent .. I believe in the sleeve and will duly recite my 10 hail mary's and 20 our father's for full and proper forgiveness.

I disagree. This will come back to haunt us

I am disappointed.

Is Kyle better than peacock at his peak? No.

Is Peacock at his peak? No.

Kyle is better than Moore, Kirke and Griffin, IMO. He's also better than Bailey in certain aspects of his game (work rate with the ball). He's also in his mid 20s.

IMO, he would have improved our 17 as part of a 4 prop rotation.

It's not Kyle holding back the development of Singleton. It's the continual selection of Kirke and the signing of average players like Griffin and Moore.

For various reasons Leeds have mis-handled the retention and development of young props in the SL era.

Luke Burgess. Garreth Carvell.

Young, developing props, in other words. And there was a lot more justification/extenuating circumstances for letting those two go than there was Amor. (I assume by "gone on to better things" you mean turned into international standard players who would walk into the current Leeds team, rather than won Grand Finals for their current clubs, otherwise the question would make Ian Kirke a better prop than James Graham).

Over the course of our three games against Wakefield he's already looked the best prop on the park behind Peacock, and he's ten years younger.

I think this sums it up. Decent player, easily good enough to make our squad, but at the end of the day a one-time world beating prop at the twilight of his career was still able outplay him.

My biggest worry isn't that we've lost Amor to Wakey, rather that our ambitions don't seem to extend to acquiring someone better.

Completely agree G and Gotcha for me Singleton should be in the 17 already at kirkes exspense and i'd take Amor to replace Kylie whilst also using JP "sparingley" with regular matches off.
