Who says we didn't?
Amor may not have wanted to come here.

Brown is quoted as saying "Kyle is already one of the best front rowers in Super League" which is a position many of us agree needs strengthening. £50,000 is far less than we paid for Westerman, so i don't think we did as we wouldn't stop at 50.
I am not certain how it works but for example if we had offered Wakey £80,000 for him, why would it be Amor's choice to accept St Helens offer leaving Wakey with £30,000 less? You would assume Wakey would turn around to Sts and ask them to match our bid, irrelevant if he wants to come here or not.

| I'm disappointed that we didn't get Amor as he is quality in a very small pool of available talent playing in a position we need to strengthen - particularly if Lynch is confirmed as a Cas player. He perfectly fits the bill that AP has outlined. It's too early to make a final call on it though as I don't know what next season's forward line up will be for us yet.

Because he's a person and not a piece of Claris Cliff?

If you'd quoted the full post instead of trying to make yourself appear humorous, you would have seen me question why the owner of the "Claris Cliff" would accept a lower offer because the vase would prefer to go elsewhere. Don't quote me again unless you're seriously answering a question, you beautiful person.

you do know we abolished slavery some time ago, nobody "owns" a player, the two are not comparable, now don't engage if you don't like being shown up as a soft lad.

Do they or do they not own the playing rights of the player for the duration of his contract? The two are most comparable, soft lad

Oh and I engage in conversation with fellow fans of rugby league, not arguments with an overgrown turd attempting to look clever.

We are not at full cap. AP has said he's holding some back till after the World Cup.
Amor would have been a quality signing, dissapointed to have missed out if indeed we were trying to get him

I don't know how it works either but I suppose it depends how mercenary Wakefield are feeling. Perhaps Amor stated his desire to join Saints but Saints wouldn't offer more than £50k. Wakefield then accepted Saints offer as a compromise between getting as much cash as possible and getting Amor a club he found acceptable. Just a possible scenario.
Wakefield seem a decent club so it seems plausible to me, I'd hope Hull would conduct themselves in a similar manner.
Of course it's possible we were never in for him but I don't see how we can lambast the club for not outbidding Sts when we don't really have a clue what went on.
