Sharks centre KL Iro stopped the rout when he bulldozed over for the Cook Islands' first points.
There's a chance momentum could've been in favour of the Cook Islands, but Esam Ioka was denied a try in the 36th minute.
Broncos star Brendan Piakura was judged as offside in the chase, however Andrew Johns wasn't convinced.
"There's no way he was offside," he said on Nine.
But it was Bula on the scoresheet again before the break to deliver a 28-6 lead at half-time.
"He is just a class above," Billy Slater said.
It wasn't a great start to the half for Fiji with Taane Milne sin binned for a high shot in the 49th minute.
