ROVERS SECURE PLAY-OFF REPEAT

FEATHERSTONE outclassed Oldham with a commanding victory to strengthen their bid for a fifth-place finish, which would set up another clash between the two sides in the knockout rounds.
Rovers’ play-off ambitions suffered a setback with their heavy defeat to Widnes Vikings a fortnight ago, leaving them eager to bounce back in this clash and move a step closer to sealing a playoff berth.
Oldham may have already secured a home tie in the play-offs, but with their patchy record against top-six opposition, victory over Rovers on home turf – which they haven’t managed since 2003 – would have provided a timely and significant boost.
