Morgan: Wildcats praise

I'd like to give credit to Wakefield. I thought they were excellent and beat us in every area of the game.

Hull KR coach Justin Morgan admitted his side were "poor" but is confident of bouncing back in the engage Super League play-offs after a 24-10 defeat at Wakefield.

Rovers ended the regular season with a lacklustre display at Belle Vue, and the defeat could see Morgan's men lose third place in the table if Huddersfield beat Wigan in their last match on Sunday.

The defeat also ended the Robins' five-match winning streak, and Morgan admitted: "It was a poor display. I saw more errors in that game than I've seen in the last month.

"We made some poor decisions and I don't think we showed a great deal of composure.

"But I'd like to give credit to Wakefield. I thought they were excellent and beat us in every area of the game.

"We've been pretty good at bouncing back and I expect us to do that next week. I don't think it's a huge blow to our confidence."

Kear delighted

As well as the defeat, there is further concern for Morgan over the fitness of full-back Shuan Briscoe after he sustained a shoulder injury during the match.

Briscoe is now a doubt for next weekend's play-off against Leeds or St Helens.

"It's fairly serious at the moment," said Morgan. "He has to have a scan to determine the extent of the injury and he is not definitely out yet."

An inspired display from the versatile Sam Obst helped Wakefield end the regular season with a fifth straight win and a best-ever Super League points tally of 32.

His performance delighted Wildcatrs boss John Kear, who said: "He did everything tonight. I thought his effort was awesome and it shows how he is developing as a player.

"I was really pleased to reach a record points tally. It's a reflection of the hard work, ability and unity of the group to say that this is the best ever Wakefield team in Super League."
