ETHAN Ryan is still considering whether to choose between the Bulls and Super League.

The in-demand winger continues to weigh up his options for next season.

Having announced Jordan Lilley’s capture for the next two years, John Kear’s side would love to nail down scoring sensation Ryan on a new deal.

But there is plenty of Super League interest in Ryan, with Hull KR and Castleford rumoured to be among those keen to snap him up.

There is an offer on the table from the Bulls but head coach John Kear admits it is a waiting game for the club.

He said: “I think we’ll have some good news with some players (regarding contracts), without a shadow of a doubt.

“But Ethan is obviously highly sought-after in Super League as well as by us and he’ll make his decision in the fulness of time.

“I hope we are in the mix. We’ve made him what we feel is a good offer and hopefully Ethan accepts that.

“But he’s got to look at his own circumstances in the same way I have to for Bradford when we recruit.

“He’s got to look at his own future and his progress with regards to his rugby league career.”

Ryan was League One’s top scorer with 36 tries last year and claimed his 11th in the current season in last week’s heavy defeat at Featherstone.

Kear let rip at his players after leaking 30 points without reply in a woeful final 20 minutes.

But he has been delighted with the response in training as they prepare for Sunday’s mouth-watering Challenge Cup quarter-final against Halifax.

“It’s been first class,” added Kear. “I’ve been really impressed with the players’ honesty, their ability to accept criticism and more importantly to act upon it.

“There’s been an element of energy and focus in training which I hadn’t seen the previous two weeks.

“That 20 minutes was the worst we’d played in 18 months and I include Warrington in the cup last year. We played pretty well there and Steve Pryce complimented how well we’d acquitted ourselves against quality opposition.

“But we fell into a hole that last 20 minutes. We’ve all accepted that and feel we’ve identified the reasons and how we can improve from that.

“We’ve drawn a line under that. We’ve reflected, we’ve reviewed and now we’re looking forward.”

The Bulls are targeting a first semi-final berth for 12 years – and to become the first Championship club to reach the last four since 2006.

Kear said: “It’s a great distraction away from the league and the rewards are there for all to see.

“It’s knockout, trap-door rugby league. You’ve got to win it to stay in it and that’s what we’re focusing upon.

“We have to play really well to give us the opportunity but I’m confident we can do that.”
