CONCENTRATION IS key to Featherstone Rovers' hopes of getting back to winning ways in the Betfred Championship today.

Rovers suffered only their second defeat of the campaign when they were beaten 24-16 by Toronto Wolfpack three days ago.

They have slipped a place to fourth in the table, but – with leaders Toulouse Olympique playing second-placed Toronto today – have an opportunity to climb back up the ladder when they visit lowly Rochdale Hornets this afternoon (3pm).

Third-bottom Hornets have lost five of their six games so far, but Rovers coach John Duffy is more concerned with how his players react and is keen to see them correct the mistakes which let them down on Good Friday. He put the defeat down to “a bit of sloppiness, concentration and little errors” and said staying switched on for the entire game is crucial.
