Kyle Amor not seeking revenge against former side Leeds Rhinos

Kyle Amor not seeking Leeds revenge

Kyle Amor has admitted that the thought of running out at Wembley is acting as a huge motivating factor for St Helens.

The Saints take on current holders Leeds Rhinos in the final four of the Challenge Cup on Friday night.

With a place in the showpiece final now within touching distance, Amor will be looking to guide his side past former club Leeds at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

However, the 28-year-old insists that he is not out for revenge against the Loiners, telling reporters: "The motivation is already there to get a chance to play at Wembley. We owe it to each other as players, our coaching staff and the fans to put in a good performance against the form team in the competition.

"We want to put a few wrongs right after two disappointing games against them this season, and ultimately get to the final in August and kick on from there. A few years ago, I always wanted to show [Leeds] that they were wrong in letting me go.

"After a few years of thinking about the reasons why they let me go, I just treat it as no bigger game than as if we're playing Warrington or Wigan. It's always nice when you do beat your old team, but it's not like I go into the game bitter or angry towards them."

St Helens and Leeds Rhinos finished the regular Super League season occupying the top-two spots.
