Single-minded Bulls need no added incentive to spark their Carnegie Challenge Cup dream, according to skipper Paul Deacon.

Fifth-round opponents Wakefield reckon Bradford will be "spitting feathers" after Millennium Tragic and fired-up to take out their frustrations on the Wildcats.

But steely-eyed scrum-half Deacon says there is no extra motivation gained from the Cardiff catastrophe, which saw controversial referring blunders deny them a priceless victory over Leeds.

"We want to get to Wembley," he stated simply.

"We said that at the beginning of the year, we've always wanted it and didn't need this (Leeds) to happen to change any of that.

"We want to win every game whether that happened or not. It's a different competition this weekend and we need to beat Wakefield to progress. It's as simple as that."

Wobbling Wakefield, who haven't won in six Super League appearances, are hoping to recapture their early-season form by dumping Bradford out of the famous competition.

With four-time winner John Kear at the helm, they have a coach with all the know-how and Deacon admitted: "It is some record he has.

"I'm sure John Kear will have something up his sleeve to try and get us on Sunday but we're ready for it and looking forward to it.

"We have to be professional and get back to work.

"Everyone knows what went on in Cardiff but we shouldn't have been in that position anyway against Leeds and we've learned a few lessons from that match.

"Now we've got to get back on the horse."

Great Britain ace Deacon is one of just three survivours from the last Bulls side to raise the Challenge Cup in 2003 and he is looking forward to leading the current crop to the new Twin Towers.

"There's something special about the cup and we want to get back to playing in the big stadiums," he said.

"The last time I did it - ironically - was in Cardiff and there was something very special about that day.

"Beating Leeds that day was probably the best highlight of my career.

"There's not many players left from that game now and in that sense it was good to be down at Cardiff last weekend.

"A lot of our players were experiencing that sort of thing for the first time and we all liked the taste of it.

"But I can also tell them all: a Challenge Cup final is a lot more special than any Millennium Magic!"
