I can't correct the stats until you tell me how 2013 was incomplete in terms of games. As I'm of the opinion only 2012 is incomplete then it would be utterly pointless to post new stats as my 2013 numbers would be the same, but you claim an error with them.
Do share.

also its a good job young players aren't judged on one early game or plenty of our 30+ players now wouldn't be here!'"
Amor is one of a very few players that we've let go that I wish we hadn't. I remember saying at the time that the loan spell at Wakefield was a good idea for the lad but we should have moved heaven and earth to keep his name on the Leeds books.
I'd be surprised if we don't see him as a regular international come the 2017 world cup.

| The decision to let Amor go to Wakefield on loan was the correct one.
However, do you think Amor should've been judged on a couple of first team displays for Leeds or should Leeds have utilized the loan deal properly by assessing Amor's performances whilst he was out at loan.
Whilst the decision to Amor go on loan was correct, the decision to let hois stay permanently was not. This is not hindsight on my paty anyway. I said in game threads when he played against us or when IO saw him that he was impressive and better than most of our forwards (not to mention younger).
Hindsight or not the club messed up with Amor.

| I didn't have an opinion when he went on loan. Mainly because I hadn't seen him play. I thought it was probably a good idea to see how he coped in a Super League environment. This had previously worked well for us when Scruton went to Hull and Burgess to London.
I'm not sure any of us are aware of how the situation developed while he was at Wakefield or what contact Leeds had with him at the time. It looks like they lost the player during that year but how much was down to Leeds and how much was down to the player we'll never know. At the end of that year other clubs could have tried to sign him and didn't. It was only another Wakey firesale which caused him to move on

| Going on loan was a good idea. As I posted on here at the time my wakey supporting mates raved about him. The reports and marks in trade papers were very complimentary. You get the feeling once he was Gone he was forgotten by Leeds and they weren't interested.
Whatever the reasons it was a huge error especially by a coach who if anyone could recognize a good prop it's him

This is how i see it too.Anyone paying a bit of attention could see Amor was making big strides at Wakey compared to his early, fish out of water, few games for us.If he was still with us now he would be the second best prop at the club behind only JP and way ahead of the likes of Kirke,Achurch and Kylie who is running on fumes.

| It does strike me as an odd decision. You have to wonder why Leeds didn't rate him highly

| Freely admit to being one of those none-too-fussed when Amor signed for Wakey. Luckily I'm not the one being paid to get these decisions right
Having seen a couple of his recent performances, I'm wondering whether we didn't miss the boat twice-over. The reported £30k fee that Saints paid to Wakey is starting to look awfully good value.

| Unfortunately, Amor does seem to be the one that got away.

| It's irritating the situation regarding amor.
We are gagging for a player like that at the moment.
We had him just a few years ago. If we had simply shown patience like we did with ablett and and buchanon our pack would be much better equipped.
Short sightedness from the club, don't know how people can squirm and defend the decision.

| I thought it was mistake in not retaining him,unfortunately it looks like a very big mistake!!.
What makes it worse is when they come back and play really well against us, still nothing can surpass us turning Jason Robinson away.

| When we let Amor go in the first place was almost unforgivable but to not pick him up when Wakefield were selling the family silver was definitely unforgivable.
