Featherstone Rovers boss Ryan Carr delighted by his side’s response to Barrow setback
Rovers’ 24-18 win at Halifax yesterday came a week after a shock home loss to Barrow Raiders which ended a six-game hot streak.
Carr had called for a response and was happy he got it.
“We knew we weren’t on [against Barrow],” he said.
“You get that in any sport, you’re not going to be on every day, but unfortunately a lot of us were off on the same day.

“They found a way to win with a lot of change and a lot going on in our 17.”
Rovers also jumped above Sheffield Eagles into fifth place on the Betfred Championship ladder.
Carr added: “It was massive for us.
“It could have gone either way, they are a good team and hard to beat there.
“To get a good win against them was huge for us.

“It was one of the first close ones we’ve had so I was pleased.”
Carr said his team came through with no major new injury concerns.
