Strange deal that though, if he plays well they can have him back?

Its the best and only option we could take, its great news but we need to hope we can hang on to him.

If Kyle plays at 75% of what he showed last season, he will still be an improvement on some of the props we had (and better than Hickey once he has made 2 runs and 2 tackles). If he does that until after the Whinos option to recall him has expired and then ups to 100%, jobs done

The main issue will be injuries at Leeds, if they get them he'll be gone, fingers crossed.


We need to bad mouth him on here and say he's gash, just in case

Very strange deal, on one hand we've signed him for three years, yet potentially he could be on a 6 month loan where he can be called back at anytime.
I assume it's mainlyvdown to payments and then how well Leeds are going in the front row.

Great signing for me. Elston or who ever did the deal has played a good card there. Obviously Leeds didn't just want to give him up but they have done the best deal to make sure we have the best chance of keeping him long term.

This deal depends on two ex Wakey players, Moore and Griffin. If they put it in for Leeds then Amor is secure at Wakey. If not they may call him back. It makes you wonder if Leeds may have a few nagging doubts about their two new signings and this deal just gives them a bit of insurance.

Happy and sad, It's a shame Leeds could not release him from his final year, but still if we get Amour for a bit longer while our young props find their feet at the next level then it could be a very good move...

Good signing this, pleased to see we have gone down this route - welcome back Kyle!

Hopefully he will, with a seasons worth of SL experience under his belt, improve next year for us and be up there as just about our best forward like this season. Hope 2nd season syndrome doesnt get him, cos he could be a very, very good forward and I hope we can somehow keep him long term, comes across as a very good proffesional too.

Makes you wonder what Leeds are playing at though.....

Excellent news.

Got to be good news and hopefully we have plan B if the whino's do come knocking.

Good news BUT the one I am waiting for is a stand off

Happy with this. Guess we've effectively got him on loan again for next season but with a deal already in place if Leeds don't want him afterwards. A lot will depend on what happens with Peacock and Leuluai. At least one will retire at the end of next season i reckon, if not both. Heres hoping Luke Ambler steps up for them next year to fill the void and they don't ever want him back!

This is a cracking bit of business by WTW - Leeds clearly have doubts about their prop situation for next season, so if this is the only way we can keep Kyle in the R,W&B, so be it. From where I'm standing, the deal shows that there's a bit of creativity in the boardroom and it adds weight to something I posted several months ago - that Mr Hetherington and Mr Glover are getting on like a house on fire.

It's good thinking by GH. At the mo we have 6 props, and Amor is behind them in the pecking order. It's far better to get him game time at another club, with the ability to recall him if injuries or a lack of form justify it.

I think he's a good prospect, but another 6 months of development can only be a good thing all round for us/Wakey and the lad himself. Hopefully, he'll kick on and claim a position at either clubs.

Of course, the usual suspects on here who regularly spout their smalltown anti leeds bigotry might not take kindly to our generous actions,

but I'm sure when they see Big Ali out there performing for you as well, then there'll be big portions of humble pie to be chomped on in the touchline bar......

told you he was on his way to you with a three year deal.

Yeah but you didn't mention the recall aspect, so your information was duff.

Good signing though, much rather have Amor than Moore.

Very happy we have him for the 2012 season and have provisionally signed him for 2013 & 2014.

If this was the only way we could have kept him by having this clause inserted then so be it. I do have a suspicion Leeds will recall him but atleast where looking better for next season. If leeds do take up the offer it atleast gives us a fair bit of time to look elsewhere.

Think it's a win win for us and the lad and a loss for Leeds as he'd contribute to their team next season but Leeds have the escape clause.

Well done JE & AG.
Very Happy!

Just to confirm, we basically have him on loan this year and then have him signed on a 2 year deal from the end of next season???

Just checking, if for example Kyle went back to Leeds 3 months into next season and did well, can Leeds then offer him a contract extention??

Excellent signing, seemed to falter after showing big potential in his days in the lower leagues, the move to Wakefield probably saved his SL career, and his performances have proven him to be a SL standard player who is only going to get better.

I think reading between the lines he has signed a 3 year deal at Wakefield.

He will remain at Wakefield for the whole 2012 season but with a clause that at the end of 2012 if Leeds want him then he will be signed at Leeds for 2 years that remains most possibly on the same contract terms but different club.

So he is a Wakefield player but the clause allows Leeds to offer him a contract if they so wish while he is under contract with us.

Good signing, was good for us last year.

bren2k - Hetherington and Glover getting onlike a house on fire - thats not because She who must be Obeyed has told gary he has to is it as shes going to be another of the ex hull contingent coming this way ?.
It is a good signing with plenty of ifs and buts.

Don't get it.



Whats the 3 year contract all about if Leeds can still recall him

So he is not a signing then but still a loan player.

Somebody please explain in really simple terms what it's all about.

Effectively, we have him on loan but we guarentee we are the only team he can move to if Leeds don't want him.
If there was no contract another team could have come in to buy him.
