I'd rather see two points. All this moral "I'd rather beat a full strength side, because it feels sweeter" mumbo jumbo I just can't get on board with.

I'd rather walk all over them. It'll boost the points difference if nothing else. Not saying we will, in fact I'm sure we won't. I'm just saying, there's no room for morals, and "making other teams competitive", that's just tosh.

Bottom line is thus; Amor, what ever impact he may have on our squad, definitely improves the Wakefield squad. Why should we strengthen the squad of a team we're playing this week? We shouldn't.

Relax.

It's only Wakefield.

Just like it was only Salford the week before last.

These fixtures exist to provide teams like Leeds with a breather, along with an opportunity to paper over the cracks.

Another meaningless SL fixture in the grand scheme of things.

I agree. (Unless of course Amor has been told where his true allegiance should be...and that he will be renumerated accordingly )

Tee hee.

Funny old world.

I'm not proclaiming Amor as the new JP. Nor am I saying he'd even get into our squad (even in its current state!).

Whatever Amor's impact on Leeds' squad, or Super League in general, is irrelevant. He improves Wakefield's squad. And it makes no sense whatsoever to improve the squad of the team you're playing against. Even if it is "only Wakefield".

You want Amor to have first team experience at SL standard - but you want to dictate to Wakey which games he can and can't play?

Is it just me, or is this a nailed on case of having the cake and eating it too?

Imagine if Leeds had done as you suggest - what message does that send out to other teams when we're trying to offload players on them via a loan?

Anyway - surely playing against Leeds would be good for Amor? A chance to show BM what he is (or isn't) missing....

Errrr...... Yep! Exactly that.

Phew! For a minute there I was worried I wasn't making sense.

It says... "You can Loan our players, but they can't play against us."

Am I missing something here? You're making it out like that's a totally ludicrous suggestion?! I think it's perfectly reasonable.

It's not very sporting though, is it?

It's a backdoor way of weakening Wakey, and gives Leeds an unfair advantage (of sorts )

The other way of looking at it, is they should allow him to play, as he's probably spent enough time with the Leeds players for them to know his weaknesses - Maybe it actually works in our favour?

As others have said, if he's not good enough for the Leeds first team, why should we be worried about facing him?
