| I'm just saying what we all know but Ethan is an unbelievable player for this club. I for one wont chastise him should he get a SL offer and back himself. He has for me taken to the full back role amazingly and I think it plays to his strengths more than him being a gymnast on the wing. The kids amazing and for me our best pound for pound player (although Steve crossley is an absolute beast for us)

| Everyone was fantastic totally agree, and as for Kirk and Crossley gee there machines, I think Konrad hurrell is Leeds best go to player I have seen a lot of him this year, but I’ve never seen him be so inafective as he was today, I was stood there after the hooter had gone and was dumbfounded I just couldn’t comprehend what had happened what I had witnessed

| There’s a thread on our board about us signing him and I was quite impressed by what I saw yesterday as I was with our old player Green him and Peltier coming on really made a difference as I think they did last week

| KR is a terrible move for Ethan. They'll be in the relegation dog fight for the next few seasons. If he leaves, and I hope he doesn't then it really needs to be a regular top 6 club.

If he goes to you guys, you've go one of the best finishers in the game. Excellent at attacking high kicks too. Defesinvely he is also excellent. He won't be making huge metres forward from run from dummy half, he's not that sort of winger. But he'll score a boat full of tries given the opportunity.
He's played FB for us recently, so if KR decide to use him as one, they need to give him time to develop in that position as he's still learning it.

| Think Liam Kirk deserves a shout out. Thought he was immense yesterday and proved why none of us are coaches. Great game from him yesterday

I thought all 4 props were excellent. They all did their individual jobs fantastically, whether it was the workhorse who starts or the impact prop off the bench. Lilley & Milnes played well, but largely because they were allowed to by our pack winning the battle in the middle.
As far as Ethan goes, I'm still not convinced he's a fullback. But his natural talent makes him a good fit in the role. He's one of those players that's going to be fine wherever you put him because he's just very good. He's a top class winger for me that can do you a job elsewhere if needed. As much as none of us want to see him leave, he should be playing in Super League.

| Gosh I hope he doesn't go to Hull KR, he's better than that. He'd be better signing a two year deal with the Bulls and continuing to develop under Kear. Who knows in another year or two the Bulls might be pushing for promotion and KR might well be back in the Championship.

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.
