Featherstone Rovers: Disappointed Duffy demands '˜professional performance' at Hornets
Rams missed out on a place in the Qualifiers by one point and began their Betfred Championship Shield campaign with a scrappy 26-12 home win over Batley Bulldogs last week.
“It was full of errors,” coach John Duffy said of that performance. “We’ve just got to be a bit more professional about our job. We have to make sure we go to Rochdale with the right attitude because the team we are playing are desperate for points.

Points carry over from the regular season and Rovers are top of the Shield table on ‘for and against’ from Leigh Centurions. Those sides are already guaranteed to contest the final with home advantage being the only issue at stake.
Points difference could decide that, but Duffy stressed: “We’re just focused on our performance and sticking to the game plan and being professional in everything we do.”
