Will be interesting to know how we can plan our squad for next year under such circumstances especially when the prop department appears to be one of the priority recruitment areas.

Also which end of season , last round of SL or when Leeds have finished their playoff run ?

Or could it be that Leeds have already decided on letting him leave and the club are just keeping it up their sleeve for a bit of positive PR in the near future

This reminds me of the Gareth Ellis saga, when he wanted to get to the end of the season and then signed.......................for Leeds

Would have thought the season ticket offer would be the right time to add positive PR.

So we can't plan for next season

Don't understand this deal, never have and still don't.

If the decision is solely down to Kyle and he is waiting until the end of the season I'd give him say till Monday and if he hasn't made up his mind I'd make it up for him and tell him he can go back to Leeds. We need to know where we stand so we can recruit for next season, particularly when we still are light in the prop department.

If as I suspect it's down to Leeds who are delaying untill the end of the season then we are stuck but again it's not helping us and they are in the driving seat.

I'd love Kyle to stay with us but we should not allow anyone to mess us around.

I hope someone comes along an explains the deal so I can at last understand it but I'm not hopeful.

perhaps this is being held back for a couple of weeks after the initial surge for tickets starts to ebb away? like many others i find this frustrating, if he's staying then that's fantastic.

if it's kyle's choice, i'd want him to make it now and commit - either way.

I suspect that he has already chosen. As some posters point out, we can't make plans for next season with regard to recruitment etc but neither can Leeds (not that I'm bothered about that). Leeds were in the driving seat in that they had the choice and could have made their planning more 'concrete', but now they are up in the air perhaps for a couple of months. Don't think so, I think Hetherington already knows.

Sadly i've a feeling Kyle will be a Rhinos player next year, hence the delay. If he was staying with the club he is currently at why not just announce it? More likely keep it under wraps until the end of the season then move on quietly. Hope i'm wrong though and they've genuinely only just passed it back to Kyle to decide.

FWIW I think moving back to Leeds at this stage would be a mistake. They already have six props contracted for next year (Peacock, Leuluai, Bailey, Griffin, Moore, Kirke & Singleton) and have been linked with Kopczak should the Bulls finally go pop. At 25 he's still a young for a prop and I feel for his development he should be playing week in week out and I don't think he'll get that luxury at Leeds.

Whatever you say about Leeds I think they are a well run club and they usually have a small turnover in players. Looking at it from their side I find it hard to believe that they won't already have their squad organised for next season.
So from a Leeds perspective I can't believe they will not have decided by now and if Kyle was off back there we would have been informed.

This is no more than a bit of trickery from our side and Kyle is already staying.

Apparently all three parties are comfortable with Kyle making the decision end of season.
What about the large fourth party ie. the fans.
I for one would like to know now the decision.
People should always remember their is no game without the fans.

Correction there for their.

Agree, all very strange, it's not as if most fans weren't prepared for him going back and mostly expected it. As always it seems this is going to put us in a bit of a difficult place and like you say on the back foot.

I tend to agree with this.

If Leeds felt the need to appease their fans by recalling Amor now was the time. However if he isn't in their plans then letting him go right now would not please certain quarters. However should Leeds retain the title and have a top signing lined up then letting Amor go at the end of the season would go unnoticed by most.

Lets be realistic, good though Amor is at Leeds he'd still be a young fringe player. No way would he be guaranteed a start. I also think he'd struggle with the expectation. Hetherington will know this and will know that Amor is probably still a few years short of the maturity needed at a huge club like Leeds. He is not what Leeds need right now as they have too many youngsters in the first team already and for a prop Amor is young.

Let him stay with us another two years then attempt to pick him up as an OOC player when he will be starting to peak. I would.

Could work out for us fingers crossed.

You'd have thought Amor would know right now which team he'd rather be at for the next couple of years and as far as messing with plans for next year, I think he'll make his decision sooner rather than later and that will give both sides plenty of time to make other arrangements if necessary.

I hope he stays with us but for the good of the club they need to know who his choice is then they know that xyz players are available and if he stays we only need look at x and y for next season.

it's a farce now. i hope jack in the box is correct in his thinking. i hope he's been sucking up to hetherington or some of his cronies for the inside line, but i doubt it. he hardly comes accross as that credible on here.

our complete focus now should be on next season. in many ways what steve ferres has done at cas, should serve as a very broad template. ship out those that are not here for next year, it's not like we're serious contenders for the league, we're out of the cup.

let's blood some kids, and have a good look at them before the rfl chop the academy system - so at least we can make a more informed choice about who should stay.

if amor is staying then play him, if he's not (and we know) send him back down the road.

Lets hope that both clubs actually know where he is going to play next season and that, for whatever reason, they dont want to inform the fans, yet.
Altough Amor has been excellent for us this season, we cant afford to miss out on recruitment, just because Leeds wont make their minds up.
This looks like a very badly managed "transfer".

No we don't send him back down the road if he's not playing for us next year, me personally I want to see us win as many games as we can, playing the best rugby we can, if we can continue the form we've showed over the rest of the season, it will be nothing but good for season ticket sales next year . There are loads of players leaving clubs at the end of the season but you don't see other clubs or fans saying leave him out if he's moving on, talk about biting you're nose off to spite you're face.

Well it's all on Amor's toes now isn't it, is this better for us, we'll see but like I said before Amor himself will want this sorting sooner rather than later for his own piece of mind.

Agreed, Amor has lead the line magnificently this season and you're quite right, we want to finish as high as possible in the league.
Our club is on a pretty steep upward curve at the moment and we need to keep the momentum going.

As long as I've been watching the game one thing is a certainty, Leeds always get their man.

If Leeds have told Kyle they want him back then thats it. If Kyle messed them around by not making up his mind Leeds would either up their offer to beat us or tell him they were no longer interested.

There is no way Leeds would be dictated to by a player.

For that reason I still stand by my initial hunch and feel he's staying with us.

the more i think about it the more i think he's staying, and this is james elston's latest hair brained scheme to have some positive pr to boost season ticket sales later in the year. had we lost on monday, i bet amor would have been announced.

pr is a fine balance, giving anticipation and positive news vs treating paying fans like idiots.

I'm fairly relaxed about the delay - my feeling is that Kyle will be a Wakefield player next season and that this delay is to allow both clubs to release the news at a strategically appropriate time i.e for us to boost ST sales and for Leeds, just after they announce the signing of a big name Aussie prop.

Kyle will be part of the Official Leeds party at Wembley this year just as he was at last year's and the Grand Final. Unless we re-visit his contract and offer him one that he cannot turn down, unfortunately I suspect that he will be in the colours of the Rhinos next year and I think Hetherington knows this.I must add you cannot fault Leeds in anyway in which this has been handled.
