Season-long problem recurs

Paul Deacon could miss the last five games of Bradford's Super League season after the recurrence of a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old scrum-half has struggled with the problem all season and has so far missed seven weeks of the Bulls' campaign. He had looked to be over his troubles after making a comeback two games ago. However, the former Great Britain international pulled up in training on Tuesday with scan results expected to determine the length of his latest absence. "We'll get it confirmed soon but regardless, it's a devastating blow to the player," coach Steve McNamara told the Bradford Telegraph and Argus.
