Chairman Chris Caisley believes Bradford Bulls will have to do it the hard way if they are to end their 51-year wait for Challenge Cup glory.

It follows the draw for the fifth round which sees them paired with Wakefield Trinity at Belle Vue for the second successive year at the same stage.

The Bulls moved into the last 16 courtesy of Saturday's convincing 32-4 win over Huddersfield-Sheffield Giants in the only all-Super League fourth round tie.

"We could certainly have had an easier passage to reach the last eight and with Steve McNamara, Warren Jowitt and Glen Tomlinson all facing their former club there is sure to be plenty of feeling.

"But we feel we have put together a top class squad this year and backed by a big Bulls following it is a game we are more than capable of winning."

The Belle Vue tie has been confirmed for Sunday, February 27.

Meanwhile Bulls coach Matthew Elliott rounded on referee Steve Presley despite Saturday's victory.

Elliott was disappointed with a 16-11 penalty count and indirectly blamed the referee for spoiling the game.

"There are appropriate channels for that to go through," said Elliott when asked about the penalties.

"I'm disappointed for the game and I'm disappointed for a whole lot of brave souls who came out in the freezing cold.

"The game was on national television, and there were two sides going out there to play football. I didn't think it was an undisciplined game.

"I'm sorry that we didn't put on the performance that potentially this game could provide."

Winger Leon Pryce was Bradford's hero with two first-half tries that earned him the £250 man-of-the match award, but Elliott was particularly pleased with his team's defence.

"I thought my players were outstanding," he said.

"To keep a clean sheet against a massive penalty count was down to some tremendous character."
