Hard-hitting Terry Newton insists he's not going to change his abrasive style.

The Bulls hooker returns to the fray tomorrow after completing his second suspension of the season.

Newton received a three-match ban for a reckless high tackle on Leeds' Jamie Thackray in Cardiff, missing the Carnegie Challenge Cup win at Wakefield and Super League fixtures with Huddersfield and Harlequins.

He had already sat out two games for an earlier charge after striking St Helens' Jon Wilkin.

Newton also copped a seven-month ban while playing for Wigan which saw him sidelined for the first 11 games of last season at Odsal and he has now missed nearly a third of the current campaign.

The Great Britain star was harshly judged though on the Millennium Magic affair after Thackray testified it was an accidental challenge and Newton should receive no punishment. The RFL disciplinary panel disagreed.

The player - who could feel referees now signal him out, more due to his reputation than anything else - would not be drawn on whether the chiefs got it wrong.

But ahead of the clash with Catalans Dragons in Perpignan, he did maintain he would not be altering his approach in the future.

"No, there's no reason why I should," said the Bradford ace.

"I'm not going to change anything. I'm still going to be aggressive but I'll be playing within the rules.

"What's happened has happened and that's behind me now.

"I'm just glad to be back. I'm looking forward to playing and that's all I'm bothered about."

Newton's presence will certainly bolster a Bulls side that has been hit hard by injuries and suspensions of late.

Ian Henderson is likely to retain the starting spot he has occupied for the last three matches but being able to introduce Newton off the bench will be a huge boost for Steve McNamara, who could also utilise the Wiganer in a back-row role.

The Bulls lost against Catalans at Odsal in March and the former Leeds rake admitted: "We were very disappointed with that last performance.

"We've looked at that game and seen where we need to improve tomorrow.

"Training's gone really well and hopefully we can do it on the pitch over here in France."
