I know it will upset KR fans but for me that's a lack of ambition. Unless he's been shown KR's plans to dominate the Superdooperleague in the next two years I honestly don't see the point other than money and he doesn't seem the type?

Similar standard team but a >50% win ratio verses <50% but in a higher league?

There were rumours that he'd had offers from other clubs including Castleford, however it may be that he's taken a hard look at Cas' side and HKR's side and decided that he's got more chance of playing regularly for KR than he would for Cas.

Ethan would have scored a hell of a lot more tries on the wing for sure, although he has done ok at fullback, he is more affective on the wing

Yes he is, but I still contend he's not done himself any harm by showing that he can also be effective in another position as it clearly makes him more useful, so a more valuable acquisition.

There's no way in hell Ethan will be playing fullback in super league.
He'll be a backup winger.

Hull Kr only have Will Oakes signed up for the wing next year, I can see Ethan going as first choice winger, Hall is rumoured to be going elsewhere. They are releasing Ryan Shaw.

Haven't they just signed Minniken from Cas too, though not sure if they see him as a Centre or a wing.

Only rarely do new signings get a guarantee of first team spots - and those that do don't need one! - but I would personally be sure Ethan would have got a much more solid assurance than "you'll play in the stiffs and have to play your way into contention for a first team spot".

Without doubt. All these idiots only watching him once or twice in a novice position in the pro game are talking bollox. He is better than anything KR have at the moment on finishing ability. He has obviously chosen game time over club. Which again is testimony to the character he is he only wants to play.

Again the reserves game looks like we have two very good young stein and lightning wingers waiting for a chance. Jy was a full back when he first came over. He could play there. Although I feel he is now an out and out winger from his cas form. Just hope our next fullback is adequate

What say next fullback been Craig hall ????
