Dangerman Semi Tadulala bids to celebrate his ton with the tries that will dump table-toppers Leeds Rhinos and earn the Bulls a sweet pay-back.
At Millennium Magic tonight, the prolific Fijian marks his 100th match since boldly upping sticks from Australia to join Super League.
The hard-running winger has brought plenty of flair to the British game with Wakefield and now Bradford, where he is currently on fire, bagging nine tries in his last five games.
"It is definitely my best run," said Tadulala, ahead of another titanic derby.
"I know it's a major thing for wingers to score tries but I've always been more patient and if it comes, it comes.
"I'm happy to do the little things right and that's what I've been concentrating on but it is good to be getting so many.
"Hopefully there's more coming in Cardiff tonight."
Tadulala, 30, didn't really savour the first Millennium Magic as he was recovering from a broken arm.
"I was running the water for Wakefield," he recalled.
"I was there and part of it all but not really involved. I aim to be doing it properly against Leeds though.
"To find out it's my 100th game over here makes it even more special. It was a big decision at first, leaving all my family for the first time, but I believed in myself.
"I had to tough it out at Wakefield but knew there was something big for me and think this is just the start of a huge opportunity to win some trophies with Bradford.
"Coming here has brought the best out of me. I'm still not playing to the best of my ability yet but I am getting there."
The former Melbourne Storm flier notched 38 tries in four seasons with the Wildcats.
He had yet to get off the mark for Bradford when Leeds smashed them 44-2 over Easter but is now on a five-match scoring streak.
"We haven't forgotten what they did to us at Headingley and it's always at the back of our minds," he said, as revitalised Bradford look to make it six wins from seven following that humiliating loss.
"I think that's why our season changed as it was a wake-up call for us that night and we've generally improved each week since.
"You can't call this revenge but we are out to do the job.
"In Super League you can win 44-2 one week and lose by the same margin against the same team the next. We know that's possible.
"We've studied everything they will throw at us and now it's about us turning up and wanting it more."

Ok, my analyise of tonight game. Tame, (im afraid to say this and dont get exicted LJ, cause its a first and last time) is ****!!! either he needs re-educating to a different position, or needs to go at the end of the season. Harris in for jefferies, well, that just goes to show we need someone of jefferies quality as a fall back !! With that in mind, we need to be lining up someone of a high quality NOW in time for next season. We missed vagana up front and need another 1 (preferably 2) like him just to bolster. I dont doubt for a minute we will be there or there abouts at the end of the season, however, long term i feel begins NOW half way through the season. Not a bad effort all told, but i dont think many teams are gonna beat the scum this year. Let them have their couple of years of glory. End of the day, it wontout way what we have had, win or lose against them through a domestic season or not ;)
