The end of the season is in sight and Rovers just need a win against Sheffield today to ensure top spot in the league and a home fixture in the top of the table clash in the play offs. On paper looking at the league the game should be a formality but everyone knows how Featherstone can slip up on occasions and Sheffield still have a reputation for results above their standing when playing Rovers. As they had done in the NRC earlier this season Sheffield arrived in a mood to spoil the party and had the skill and tenacity to do just that as they won a close game by one extra conversion and left the league mathematically still open.
