The depth of the Bulls was on show for all to see on Sunday, when they took on last year's grand final bridesmaids, the mighty Coonamble Rams to come away with a 38-19 win.

It was in the first 40 minutes the Bulls turned on a brilliant display of open rugby finishing the half 26-7.
There wasn't a weak link anywhere, coaches Skimmer and Hoops sticking with the boys who had done the job at Cobar and they didn't disappoint.
Coonamble got an early converted try but from then on the Bulls switched into gear.
Not even the loss of inspirational skipper Bubba Perry with a dislocated right shoulder (hopefully 4-5 weeks only), could slow the Bulls avalanche.
The Bulls wingers, Craig Ticehurst, Jonah Lomu and speedster Jake Perko-Bennett, got their hands on plenty of ball with the new style of play moving left and right at speed.
The Rams were like the Italian army, spending more time going backwards than forwards, as the Bulls along with Broomey, Gussy and Bretto, punched holes through the line.
A quick delivery from Bulls co-captain Jimmy Elias to Netava created havoc for the visitors.
Simon Bell replaced the injured Bubba and combined nicely with Manoa "sooty" Harding to put immense pressure on the Rams.
When they did get the ball Christo, Edgey, Tommy C and co. were right in their faces denying them room to play their usual structured game.
Jake made two tries, followed by Craig and fullback Jaydo who also made one by half time.
The second half turned into a dog fight, the Rams weren't about to give up and the spoils were shared in this half each scoring 12 points. Sproggo and Lads getting tries.
Bulls players Big Mike Wellsbud, boom recruit Tim Gilmore stolen from under the noses of Warren, Mitch Butler and the ever improving Fletcher Jackson played big minutes to share the defensive load, against quality opposition.
Next Friday night the big clash at Warren under lights. This will be the game to see where the Bulls improvement ranks against the defending premiers.
