Shontayne Hape is happy to admit he has absolutely no idea what he is letting himself in for tomorrow.

The Bulls young Kiwi new boy was astounded by the support in the friendly at Castleford, marvelled by the noise at St Helens and surprised by the crowd at Headingley, so what will he make of Odsal?

"It is going to be amazing," said Hape, who has impressed at left centre since joining the Bulls from the New Zealand Warriors this season.

"But I must admit it is going to mean a lot less to me than it will to a lot of the others.

"I know a little bit about Odsal and that they used to play here but I can't even begin to imagine what it is actually going to be like out there.

"We've trained on the pitch but I can't imagine the place full of screaming fans.

"The fans in this country are pretty noisy. I couldn't believe it when we played an away friendly and there were so many of them there making so much noise.

"I am having enough trouble learning the calls for our plays, but if I can't hear them it will be even tougher. I will just go with the flow.

"But I am not nervous, big games are what it is all about for me."

His lack of knowledge of Odsal extends to the Super League in general, and more specifically his opponents.

But he doesn't believe that is a disadvantage.

"I am playing against people I have never heard of before and never seen before," said Hape, who has scored in both Challenge Cup ties so far this season.

"But by half-time I can normally work out their way of playing, it doesn't hold me back at all."

Hape has been keen to stress all along that his move to the Super League was his chance to make his mark in the international game. But his first aim is to impress his new fans.

"This is my first home game and my first big chance to show them what I can do," added Hape.

"I know I will not get the ball anywhere near as much as I did against Hunslet - that would not be possible - but when I do I will make sure I impress."

Whatever happens, Hape will have a good end to his Homecoming day - he is DJ'ing at Robbie Paul's Turnstile pub after the match.
