Great bloke top forward a snip at £50000

This is a great signing, he's already one of the best props in the league and he's not at peak age for a prop yet. He's British too which is valuable and on a 4 year contract we'll have him through his best years.

Top marks to the club for pulling this one off, one of the best signing we could have made.

Will be a tremendous signing for you....

Gutted we've had to sell, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Wakey fan anywhere who would say otherwise......we needed the money though and in all honesty Kyle deserves a shot at a team with a chance of challenging to win something....

Make no mistake he is top drawer at what he does.....as tough a prop forward as I have seen....will run through a brick wall for you.....hurts the opposition with his robust style of running......for me.....he will become the best British prop in the game in the next 12-24 months.......the stats don't always tell the full story....he is more than able to offload and you will probably see a bit more of this if he is playing in a bit more of a dominant/winning team more often.....

We had Leeds fans questioning if Gareth Ellis was really all that when they signed him from us and he went on to be one of the best back rowers in the game.....

We had Huddersfield questioning if Danny Brough was really going to be the man they were looking for and look at him now....

I've every confidence Kyle can be just as big a hit with Saints as those two were for their new clubs......

Sad day for us, but all the best to Kyle....hope he rips it up for you's......apart from against us!!

Cant really add anymore.

Cracking player, still on young not hit his "peak" as a forward, but I havent seen many better props this year than Kyle. Will go with everyones best wishes, and will be welcomed back when he returns to BV.

Aggressive prop who makes yards, tackles hard, gets up of the floor fairly quickly, and can on occasion play a pivotal part in our attack.

You'll love him, and he'll be in England squad within a year (should be in contention now tbh)

So that's it then; we are Dolly Parton for next year.


Or As albion wrote; well stacked up front.

Amazing how easily pleased you sheep are. Don't get me wrong, this looks a decent signing, he's turned into a quality prop at Wakefield.

But some of the hysteria ("I can't believe we've pulled this off"icon_wink.gif shows how low our expectations had fallen. We didn't believe the club would ever wake from their slumber, but there are encouraging signs that maybe, just maybe, they are starting to acknowledge their failings and do something about it. That doesn't excuse the malaise that has been allowed to set in and destroy our squad over the last 6-7 years but it shows a willingness to move forward from now on.

I was also going to say the board would be wise not to assume this will placate the fans, as it's not enough, but it seems from the giddy outpouring on here that it might be. Decent signing but without a halfback to play with Walsh we're not going to be competing for trophies. If they follow this up with announcements of new deals for dead wood in Wello and Laffranchi and then don't sign a stand off, what will the point have been?

This is the time Saints need to step it up. Release Wello and Laffranchi and sign a stand off. Then we'll be cooking on gas.

We're not necessarily rebuilding to be trophy winners in one season, this is just a step in the right direction. There's only so many holes you can fill in once recruitment period and they've done a hell of a lot of filling so far.

Well you did not disappoint

I would imagine Hohaia will be our first choice stand off next season and playing beside a proper scrum half we may see a better standard of play from him.

Although I have to say I'm bemused as to why we would re-sign Wello but it seems that is what we are doing.

You say that but Wigan have just won the cup with Blake Green and Matty Smith as their half backs.

To be fair, though, that's only because the opposition decided they were too nervous to leave their hotel.

The Hull FC team that faced us at Wembley back in 2008 would have beaten Wigan with few problems this year.

As mentioned above, Super League is terrible. It doesn't particularly matter if they're world beaters or not. Ideally our's would be someone with a bit of pace and who is a dangerous runner. Doesn't matter if they're not a world class leader and organiser as Walsh is being tasked with that. If we released Laffranchi we'd have an overseas spot available to bring over an Aussie or Kiwi. They are plenty of talented halves on the fringes in the NRL.

Great signing, sad to see him go.

Wash your mouth out.

Not ready then but he's developed into a decent prop.

If Brown and co deem him a reject then every wakey fan would love to see him come back.

I'm gutted, very underrated prop.

You will see what we se every week and that is strong runs, getting his body through the defenders, hard yards and a bit of a classy step which he has found this season which has helped him find a few gaps.

Amor is quality and will be a shoe in for GB if he plays anywhere near like he has for us. You will see next year the guy is just quality and his 3 years at Wakey he has consistently shown improvements in his game.

Second only to Kirmond but he is class. Great signing and no bitterness. A fee was paid (50k was quoted). If you paid 50k then what a bargain!!

So long as I don't hear the saints have turned him into top quality prop material rubbish ill be happy. He already is top draw. No doubt he will be your best prop by a country mile next year. Gutted but good luck to Kyle.

I think Walmsley will push him for that title but none the less very exciting time to be a Saints fan. Good luck with your club mate, you have brought some excellent players on over the last couple of years.

Thanks, it's another rough ride ahead for us as Wakey fans it seems in 2014 but we've been there before.

Good luck to saints to, your 2014 recruitment looks to be going well so far.

Just look at how we have turned Manu into a top quality player.

will kyle Amor be able to play on Saturday? or for any other of the games when we win on Saturday.As Wakey are not involed or is he cup tied as they say

Nope, players must be registered before round 22.

You bored of saying that yet???

He's not our player officially until November is he? That'll be when his contract starts

The fact we've paid for him should make him our player now. It's not like his contract has to expire like our signings in the past.

Obviously he can't play due to the deadline.

If we'd signed him on a Bosman then I think that would be the case. As we've purchased him I guess it's whatever date has been agreed. I imagine Wakey would want him off the books asap given there financial issues

Like you wouldn't believe.
