Thing is, Amor has. Matty Lees was preferred but Lees at that time simply wasn't big enough imo.
I think Amor would have made things much closer in big games.

To be fair I think Amor did play in the big games ddn't he? He certainly played at Wembley & Old Trafford, admittedly while Lees was out injured.

I'd be ok with Amor coming in to the squad. But I'm not sure i'd want him to be signed as one of the first choice 17.

My final word on the Amor question is that for every Les Boyd, you need a Gary Sanderson.

Or for younger readers, for every Adrian Morley you need a Ben Harrison.

Its not a question of an impact prop or the likes of Amor .... we need both.

Agreed, but currently we need the Morley rather than the Amor. We have the steady in Cooper, if we can add a Morley to the group we will go a long way to challenging for that elusive Grand Final win.

Seriously, if we can get him running his weight, thats your 4th prop right there.

We have picked up a few over the years who have been surplus to requirements at Wigan. Let's hope eh!

Over the years I have poo pood big buggers who I have thought would not make it. But I have been wrong more than once. Just get 'em motivated.

Bit harsh to describe Cooper as just 'steady'.
