The Bulls today jetted out of the country to begin their final preparations for the Carnegie World Club Challenge game against NRL champions Wests Tigers on February 3.

The players will spend a week at the prestigious Club La Santa in Lanzarote where they will be able to spend valuable time outside on firm pitches and will be put through their paces ahead of the WCC at the Galpharm Stadium in Huddersfield.

The Bulls took a fully fit squad to the Canary Islands and coach Brian Noble is looking forward to being able to plan ahead without having to worry about the weather.

"The World Club Challenge is a prestigious game and gets the Super League season off to a very positive start," he said.

"It is not too often that you get the opportunity to be a world champion in any sport and we are determined to overcome what will be a tough

challenge from Wests Tigers.

"Going to Lanzarote will enable us to plan our training sessions knowing we will be able to up the intensity without the weather disrupting our plans. The squad are looking forward to the trip and the game with relish."
