Decon inspires vital Bulls win

Paul Deacon inspired Bradford to a 42-14 victory over Hull that is likely to secure their place in the Super League play-offs.

Deacon marked his return with seven goals, one try and kicks that led to scores for James Evans and Matt Cook. Wayne Godwin, Terry Newton, Joe Vagana and Ben Jeffries also went over.

Motu Tony marked his 100th appearance for Hull with a try and Matthew Sing also got on the scoresheet.

Hull KR staged a remarkable fightback to dent Warrington's top-four hopes with a 36-34 win.

Rovers, with little to play for but pride, looked down and out when they trailed 34-18 with eight minutes left.

But then Rovers came back from the dead to stun the Wolves with England winger Peter Fox crossing twice and Kris Welham latching onto Paul Cooke's kick to level the scores in injury time.

And up stepped Michael Dobson to coolly strike the match-winning conversion from near the touchline.

Simon Grix had earlier grabbed a try double as Warrington looked set to sweep to their eighth victory in 10 matches since Jimmy Lowes took over as boss from Paul Cullen.

Willie Talau crossed for two tries as St Helens ended Harlequins' play-off hopes with a 32-16 victory at the Stoop.

The Saints had to battle back from a 10-point deficit at half-time to win their 19th straight game and were pushed all the way by the Londoners.
