The Bulls aren’t being lulled into thinking Hull KR are there for the taking on Sunday.
Struggling Bradford head to Craven Park hoping to pick up a first win in four attempts and start salvaging their season.
Rovers, meanwhile, after a flying start where they won ten of their opening 14 games, have fallen off the pace, losing five of the last six.
That has given the Bulls hope, especially as three of those losses – Wigan, Harlequins and Warrington – have come on home turf.
But, having seen his own side blow an amazing chance against out-of-sorts Castleford last week, winger Semi Tadulala admits nothing can be presumed.
“We’re just going to go there and concentrate on our own performance,” said Tadulala.
“We’ve still not played an entire 80 minutes yet and it’s something we need to achieve.
We’ve played in patches but not delivered over a full match.
“We’re looking to put things right and go there with the right attitude.”
Against Cas, Tadulala crossed for his tenth try in 18 games this season and is currently in talks about extending his stay at Odsal for another 12 months.
But his priority is this campaign and getting those much-needed two points to lift his side’s cause.
Craven Park is one of Super League’s most atmospheric grounds and should bring the best out of Steve McNamara’s men.
“It is a bit of a vocal crowd over there and it’s always very daunting but we can use it to our advantage,” Tadulala, 31, added.
“As long as we play how we want to play and control what we can, the scoreboard will look after itself.”
The normally reliable Fijian dropped a couple of bombs against Cas which resulted in conceding two tries, although he seemed to be tackled in the air for the second in the 40-38 defeat.
That was one of a number of crucial decisions that went against the Bulls.
However, the former Wakefied star insisted: “You can’t change the past but you can definitely change the future.”
