CHRIS Ulugia is expecting an exciting atmosphere when he and his fellow Featherstone Rovers players take on the Bulls this weekend.

Rovers travel to face Ulugia's former club seeking a place in the Challenge Cup fifth round.

The Samoan centre joined the Bulls prior to the start of 2015 season and was loaned to Batley Bulldogs before arriving at the Big Fellas Stadium last October.

He has been a big hit since joining Featherstone, scoring four tries in six Championship appearances for the club.

Ulugia said: "I am looking forward to Sunday. It is going to be a great occasion for everyone involved – the fans, the staff and the players.

"The fans at Bradford and Featherstone are great, so I am sure the atmosphere will be pretty exciting. The supporters will be buzzing and we want to perform for them.

"Our goal this season is to finish high up in the Championship top four but a good cup run is also really important to us and we are starting with a difficult test.

"This competition means a great deal to the Featherstone club and I am proud to be representing this club.

"We have started the season well but kicking on and beating Bradford is essential for our own confidence. We will go there looking to get the job done – and done well."
