That's why I don't think he should go to KR. I'd be gutted if he left us for them.

Whatever you think of us it’s a big step up playing for us against part time for you

He's already full time for us.

I'd hate to see him leave but as others have said, he's already good enough for Super League. He'd be one of the best defensive wingers in the league and there's not many better at attacking high balls either.

I guess it depends what his motivation is. Does he feel that Bradford are on the up and a push for promotion is possible in the next couple of years under a good coach like Kear. For a local lad, perhaps being part of that journey is very appealing?

Or he could join Hull KR but realistically he’s going to be bottom end SL with no realistic opportunities of any real glory other than surviving relegation.

Don't get me wrong, I like KR as a club. I just don't think it's the right move for him, especially as we could go up as easy as you could go down.

A bit similar to the Danny Addy sitch the other year.

Obviously cash manies speak and if you can offer him more than we can then that might be what is motivating Ethan at the moment. Playing wise, my sentiments is as I have stated.

In my mind I've always thought Cas would go in for him and there has been the odd rumour here and there. With Minikin set to depart, I would hope we'd make a play for Ryan.

If Cas made a move for him I think he'd be crazy/loyal beyond belief to stick with the Bulls. Cas often seem to be able to extract the best from their players and I think Ethan would flourish.

We can't grumble if he goes for a better offer, I just don't believe the offer of SL from any side in that division would be better than staying with the Bulls a little longer.

We’ll see. Ethan certainly has his head screwed on right. I actually think that now he’s moved to fullback he can develop even further and command an even bigger offer in a year or two.

If he does go I think he goes with the Well wishes of all supporters. We would need to sign a replacement FB though.

There was a moment in the match where Leeds were throwing the ball around like headless chickens, then Lolahea kicked through on his own and it looked like the ball would sit up nicely for him to score under the posts. Ethan comes from nowhere, to get there before him. He's a natural RL player who knows how to read the game. You can't teach that. We've missed it all year with Pickersgill at FB. If Ryan's not at FB Lolahea scores that try (I believe to level it up) and I think we probably lose the game.

He may see us as a steppingstone signing for us would guarantee SL as I can’t see him hanging around in the championship for a couple of years with you if he has ambitions
