Bulls skipper Paul Deacon could be on his way out of the club as they prepare to sign Aussie star Matt Orford.

Deacon has enjoyed a succesful 11-year spell at Odsal but is believed to be ready to join hometown club Wigan as a player-coach.

Meanwhile, former Dally M medal-winner Orford has yet to come to terms with Manly over a new deal after his old one expired last month.

Rumours abound that the 31-year-old scrum half is considering a move to join former clubmates Steve Menzies, Glenn Hall and Heath L'Estrange at Bradford.

So far, the Bulls have refused to comment on the speculation.
