Having crossed the whitewash for the second time, the Volcano pointedly spelt out the word GOD in the air.

It was the Kiwi winger's way of thanking "the big man upstairs" for giving him his talent.

He was thanking God for the skills that saw him run in two second-half tries in this 12-38 victory and was probably also thanking him for providing Shontayne Hape as a centre.

The Bulls new boy combined well with his heavier countryman and the two look as if they will be a force to be reckoned with on the left-hand side of the Bulls attack this season.

A brilliant off-load from the debutant handed the Volcano his first try while the 20-year-old himself rounded off the scoring in the 74th minute.

The Bulls may have taken until the second-half to really get going, but once they did there was no stopping them as quality try after quality try followed.

As well as the Kiwis on the left, Scott Naylor dummied his way home spectacularly and Leon Pryce bagged a 56-metre effort as the Bulls battered the Wolves in the second period.

On three occasions Warrington were reduced to 12 men and that is not the ideal situation against a side who combined the skilful grace of their wide men with the awesome power up the middle of Stuart Fielden, Paul Anderson, Joe Vagana and Jamie Peacock. It was a tough game from the outset for a Bulls side who haven't lost at Wilderspool in the cup for 78 years and will never do so again.

In the final season at the ground, coach Paul Cullen had said he wanted to see his side play with dignity, and that was achieved in the opening 40 minutes.

Despite being massive underdogs, Cullen's Wolves put everything into an opening period that saw them dominate possession and control the game.

"I think it would be fair to say they dictated play early on," said Bulls coach Brian Noble after the game.

"The game went very much the way we expected it to. They came out with everything firing and we had to contain that.

"But in the second-half we set the tempo and that helped us play more to our potential.

"We had too much for them in the end and we were a lot better defensively in the second half.

"The first half saw us give away too many silly penalties."

Lee Briers was allowed to kick three penalties as Bulls were consistently called offside, and with Darren Burns barging over the line from two yards out, Wolves had an eight-point lead after 31 minutes.

But then began a scoring series by the Bulls that would net them the remaining 34 points of the game without reply.

Jimmy Lowes, who had another influential game at the heart of things, left a lovely pop-up ball for Robbie Paul to run on to before the skipper twirled over the line with a 360 degree rotation.

Fitting that the Bulls' first try of the season should be scored by their skipper and that it was a beautiful piece of skill to round off a drive that was mostly powered by the hard yards from forwards.

Wolves' Graham Appo then dropped a ball and flopped on Leon Pryce as he recovered it, earning ten minutes in the sin-bin.

Deacon kicked his fourth goal of the game and by the time Appo had returned, the Bulls had effectively won the game.

As the teams walked off at half-time it was clear that the tide had turned.

The Bulls had tied things up and strode off ready for more advice from their coach about how to win the game, while Wolves had the distinctive trudge in their step that many opponents of Bradford are likely to suffer from this year.

The second half began with the Bulls looking to take advantage of the extra man from the off.

Pryce fed Hape and the 21-year-old showed why the Bulls signed him. He sucked in two men before reaching over the top of his tacklers and dropping the ball in for fellow Kiwi Lesley Vainikolo.

Despite the three men between him and the line, the Volcano erupted and forced his way home.

Loose forward Sid Domic then kicked a ball away in disgust and got binned.

Deacon slipped for the conversion but the Bulls were beginning to rampage.

Hape and Vainikolo (a phrase that is bound to be used a lot this season) made 30 metres

before Pryce went the next 56 on his own.

His sloping run against a tiring defence made a nice individual effort for a player who performed admirably throughout this winning encounter.

Lee Radford threw out the final pass this time for Vainikolo's next try in the corner before the lads on the right had their time to show off.

Youngster Rob Parker performed a straightforward one-two with his skipper to get the Bulls into the red zone and Naylor was given the ball out

wide.

His extravagant dummy threatened to bring Karl Pratt into play, but Naylor instead cut inside the dumbstruck defenders and strolled in to make it 30-12.

Wolves skipper Lee Briers (dissent) became the third Warrington player to make his way to the sin-bin as Warrington realised their Powergen days were over.

Much to the delight of the crowd Hape went over the line next, fittingly supplied by his role model and fellow tribe member Paul.

His delight was tangible, as was that of the travelling fans who were delighted to see their side make it past the fourth round and one more step along the road to Cardiff.
