This is our first Grand Final of the year, Chris Caisley warned today.

The Bulls chairman believes the visit of Hull to Valley Parade tomorrow night will be the side's toughest game of the season so far.

"This is a must-win game for us," said Caisley, who is hoping the good weather will pull in the crowds. Hull are a very strong team who we have to play twice at the Boulevard this season. We wouldn't want to be losing at home to a team like this, and then having to travel to their place twice.

"It will be a real battle out there, but one, I am sure, we can triumph in."

Extra pre-match entertainment is in place as the Bulls try to create a party atmosphere to start off the Bank Holiday weekend.

"Playing the game on a Thursday will be the perfect start to Easter for Bulls' fans," said the chairman.

"It should be a real family occasion and we will be hoping for the right result to kickstart the Bank Holiday weekend."

The Bulls remain unbeaten in the Super League at fortress Valley Parade and will be looking to maintain that beyond the Hull game - despite the injuries that are afflicting the side.

"We have had more injuries so far this season then we did the whole of last year," said Caisley. "I don't think anyone could have expected losing this many senior players so early this season. Although we haven't had any really long-term injuries - in 1998 we lost players early on for the season with cruciate knee problems - we have been unlucky this year.

"Of course it is giving other players a chance to prove themselves, and with the squad we have, the lads coming in are more than capable of doing the job."
