Keith Lulia ready for Bradford Bulls baptism of fire against Warriors

7:00am Thursday 16th February 2012 in Sport By Ross Heppenstall

Keith Lulia is set to take over at centre in place of Adrian Purtell for Sunday’s home match against Wigan Keith Lulia is set to take over at centre in place of Adrian Purtell for Sunday’s home match against Wigan

Keith Lulia has declared himself ready for action against Wigan on Sunday and roared: “Bring it on!”

The close-season signing has yet to feature for the Bulls due to a hamstring strain following his arrival from Newcastle Knights.

But the 6ft 4in Cook Islands international is edging towards full fitness and says he is ready to face Shaun Wane’s side.

Lulia’s availability would be a major boost to Mick Potter after Adrian Purtell was ruled out for six weeks with a chest injury.

The former Penrith centre tore his pectoral muscle during last weekend’s victory at Castleford and a specialist in Manchester has revealed the extent of the injury.

I’m ready to break some lines, make some tackles and show what I’m about

Yet prop Manase Manuokafoa is close to coming back into contention and 24-year-old Lulia insists he is fit to play.

The rangy centre said: “I’ve been running in the past couple of days and have pulled up really well.

“I’ve been training pretty hard and doing a lot of cardio and fitness work.

“It’s up to Mick if he picks me or not but hopefully I’ll get to play this weekend.

“I’m looking forward to it. I don’t bank on someone getting injured for me to get straight in the team because I want to earn my spot.

“It’s just unfortunate for Adrian but hopefully it will work out for me this week if I’m fit, which I feel I am.”

Lulia revealed the extent of the hamstring problem which wrecked his pre-season with the Bulls.

He explained: “It was my right hamstring, which I originally thought was just a little strain but ended up being a 20 centimetre tear.

“That set me back a few weeks but I had an injection of cortisone into the tendon which was giving me a bit of trouble and that settled it down straight away.”

During the Bulls’ pre-season games and two Super League outings, Lulia has been a regular spectator, albeit a frustrated one.

“The lads responded very well to the Catalan defeat at Castleford last week,” he said.

“They showed a lot of desire and learnt from their mistakes the week before.”

The Warriors have an abundance of talent within their ranks, not least mercurial full back Sam Tomkins.

Lulia said: “It will be good to go against the best England has to offer.

“I’ve played with some top players back in Australia and I like to challenge myself.

“I’m ready to break some lines, make some tackles and show what I’m about.”

Meanwhile, James Donaldson will see a specialist on Monday to discover the extent of the knee injury he sustained against Castleford.

Karl Pryce is aiming to shake off a hamstring injury ahead of this weekend’s clash with his former club.

But Potter said he will keep faith with Elliot Kear and Jason Crookes as his starting wingers.

Like this fellas attitude and what he seems to be about, hope he backs it up on the field. It would be good to have some quality creating havoc in the channels again, getting us on the front foot and setting up some spectacular tries.

Totally agree just a shame Purtell is injured because I think we've got a good pairing there. If pryce is fit then I'd put him in the centre, walker just doesn't offer you anything, better off in the pack!

After seeing him in the NRL Keith is a proper strike centre in the same mould as Danny Peacock was. If he can run the lines and as hard as Danny he will become a crowd fav.
.
On another note the bulls need to match fire with fire on Sunday when the Pie eaters come to town, If they try to niggle, rough up and intimidate the Bulls we need to match it and fight fire with fire.

Fully agree. This is the game that MP needs to use the squad to suit the opposition. Pies are a good team, lets not kid ourselves. A win is a big ask. But there's no reason The Bulls can not put in a good performance. If we match them in the grunt, and take the battle too them, who knows what will happen when we have backs like Sammut, Gale, Lulia & BK.
.
I would have Whitehead in the centres and Joseph in the middle. Toe to toe. Maybe some biff too. Bully the Pies out of the game. Maybe not nice to say it, but if we get the 2 points then who will complain (apart from Pies that is)?

Phil Joseph to come in for Donno for me. As has been said he will stand to toe to toe with their pack, and hopefully have the desired effect. Watching the Leeds game McIllorum & Hock bullied the Leeds pack at times. We all know now that they will put a high bomb up against Crookes for Pat Richards to utilize - so I hope Lulia at 6' 4 can help out on that side, and similarly I would use Prycey on the other side for Chev.

I nearly agree. Think 6 props is one too many. Leave Manny out and L'estrange on the bench.

I think last Sunday Ian Sibbit had a bigger impact on the game than he’s been given credit for, some his hits were very effective in the go forward.
I’m hoping to see more of it this weekend and give Hock something to think about, last season when took them on in the Challenge Cup we gave them a game because we didn’t let them have it all their way on the ruck and hit them as hard as they hit us and they looked like a team for the taking and we did all that with 12 men for most of the game.
I think MP knows how to beat the Worriors and we need to trust his call on this match up.
COM'OM YOU BULLS.

Can't wait for this game. 1st game I've been able to get to. Very excited. I know we all love to see our side win, and ud we perform, there's no reason why we can't, but a good solid performance to carry on from last week would be very nice, win, lose or draw!
The team is definitely stronger than last yr, we can all see that, and with a decent performance this weekend, I think we will see improvement week on week thereafter!
Agree that the pack really needs to rip into the pies. People talk about how strong their pack is, but on its day, I fancy ours to mix it with the best, especially when Burt, n my favorite Elima r both back! Roll on Sunday....COYB

I admire the optimism but we are not talking Cas here. We will do well if we lose by less than 30 points. Take a look at their side, they have players we can only dream of in every position. Our team of players cobbled together from the bottom side in S/L and reserve grade overseas will be no match for their superstars. I am ready for the flack but its hard to sensibly expect us to come even close this week.

Get what ur saying, but sometimes optimism is the best way to get excited for games such as these! Don't get me wrong, a massive part of me fears the worst, but by being optimistic, I allow myself to get excited about watching the team I love!
Not having a go at u btw!!! Just saying that while being optimistic, I am realistic also....if that makes sense!!!

murphys law, here comes the flak, i didn't give 'em a chance at cas, but low and behold they won. if they play like they did against cas, as a team, not thirteen individuals on the field, they're in with a shout. wigan, are just like any other team, they're, there to. be beaten, having a team of so called super stars means nowt, on their day the bulls can match anyone. two other things, cas aren''t a bad team. giants turned wigan over, who'd have thought that. so that, in your way of thinking, makes giants a team that have more superstars than wigan.

Like Barbarian Mike, Im also really optimistic about Sunday, but at the same totally terrified about what the final score might be. I think its because we have to worry about whether the bulls will perform or not as well as the quality of the squad. If the bulls don't perform it could be a horrible afternoon, but if they do play they will give Wigan a game or even pull of a shock win, if things go in our favour. I really do hope Manuokafoa is fit, we could really need his size going forward. If I was Potter I'd play

Kearney
Pryce
Whitehead
Lulia
Kear
Sammut
Gale
Manuokaofoa
L'Estrange
Kopzcak
Sibbit
Walker
Langley

Diskin
Burgess
Joseph
Scruton

What you say is what makes a true fan. Getting excited before a game is really what its all about. My problem is I have got fed up of all the hype this past few seasons only to see us humiliated. Still think we are a couple of seasons from challenging the Wigans but I firmly believe it will come. We do need some marquis signings before that though and for the kids who look so promising to develop.

It's okay Viking thats what flack does it flies all over the place!! Get your point though and would only say Giants are a side who have been getting these results for a few seasons now. It's difficult to remember last time we caused an upset?

All I ask for is 100% commitment.If we lose so be it ,as long as we go down fighting.Lets be honest on paper we are no match for Wigan,but if we play as a team and give everything you never know.The true fan would be happy even if we lose but go down fighting ,anything else is a bonus.

It's okay Viking thats what flack does it flies all over the place!! Get your point though and would only say Giants are a side who have been getting these results for a few seasons now. It's difficult to remember last time we caused an upset?
As an overseas supporter I don't get to see many live games. Seen us lose away at Huddersfield, draw at home with Catalans and at Odsal give Crusaders their first ever Super League victory. But my candidate for the last upset we caused was that I at least managed to see us stuff the Rhinos last year!

I was impressed by Lulia in the NRL last year, he was breaking through the line and providing service to his wingers, which is what we need. He sounds enthusiastic too.

We also need strength in the pack so it would be a major boost if Nas was fit. As has already been said, we need to get stuck into the Wigan pack as we can't let them bully us.

I know a win is unlikely against Wigan but we managed to beat Huddersfield 36-0 last season which was unexpected and we almost beat Wigan in the cup last year. We also surprised many by beating Cas last week.

The lads need to defend even better than they did against Cas if we are to pick up any points on Sunday.

After seeing him in the NRL Keith is a proper strike centre in the same mould as Danny Peacock was. If he can run the lines and as hard as Danny he will become a crowd fav.

On another note the bulls need to match fire with fire on Sunday when the Pie eaters come to town, If they try to niggle, rough up and intimidate the Bulls we need to match it and fight fire with fire.
Fully agree. This is the game that MP needs to use the squad to suit the opposition. Pies are a good team, lets not kid ourselves. A win is a big ask. But there's no reason The Bulls can not put in a good performance. If we match them in the grunt, and take the battle too them, who knows what will happen when we have backs like Sammut, Gale, Lulia & BK.
.
I would have Whitehead in the centres and Joseph in the middle. Toe to toe. Maybe some biff too. Bully the Pies out of the game. Maybe not nice to say it, but if we get the 2 points then who will complain (apart from Pies that is)?
And the whinos of course as they did throughout the Awsome foursome era

Oh and add Sh*t Hellens to that list

Read that Addy had a great game tonight even though u20s lost. We need a good young ball playing loose, he could be the one?
