SURELY, that means we're expecting the likes of Bailey, Delaney & Leuluai back?!
Given that we're without 4/5 forwards and have another one of them playing against us this week?!

| Is it just me that thinks it would have been sensible, given the current run of form/luck/results, to leave Wakefield with as weak a team as possible this week?
I mean, don't get me wrong, Amor is no world beater, but it doesn't make any sense to me to give them an extra forward when we're short of weight in the pack as it is and it's them we're playing?!
How easy would it have been to say, "We're short this week as you know, we might be able to re-loan him out when we have people back but it'll be next week at the earliest!" Even if we didn't play him, let him train with us this week and Wakefield wouldn't have him.

Not really, would rather see a competitive Wakefield Wildcats rather than a team being walked over.

I agree  ...we need the points. We could let them have Kirke though
Actually it really doesn't make sense yet again does it ? Talented forwards loaned out whilst we persist in proven [iuntalented[/i individuals.

You did see Amor's attempt to step up to SL level last season, didn't you? He looked like a headless chicken.

Oh I agree....but it does appear his performances have improved. Why else would Wakefield want to continue utilising his services ?
Would it have been better to have the likes of Ambler and Amor available this season instead of the likes of Cross and Kirke ?
Can't see the former option been a worse option personally and the club would have also had the bonus of a much better equipped young Leeds blooded [[iicon_mad.gifpfylcmxiplaying-[/i to kick on with into the coming seasons ahead.

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.

So you would rather see them walked over every week ala Leigh's superleague contribution, rather than sending a few players to them, giving them players superleague experience, and helping another poor local club out. I know which bit I would choose, end of the day, its giving players like Kyle Amor and Luke Ambler the chance to play in superleague rather than being stuck in our reserves not gaining any of the much-needed experience to boost themselves and show the coach what they are made of.

I'm not thick (yes really!). I completely and utterly understand the advantages to loaning him out. Not only do I understand it, I also agree with it. I would much rather Ambler, Amor etc were playing against SL every week, and training along side other SL standard players (at Quins & Wakefield that bit's debatable!).
In terms of "helping another poor local club", no thanks. Couldn't give a monkeys about that. I agree with loaning players out for our reasons, to improve our players, not to "help them". (Woe is Wakefield. Poor old Wakefield.)
I just think there should be a "Non Competition" clause or something. Especially in terms of this week. We're light in the pack, and we're strengthening our opponents pack for them!? That's nuts.
