Liam Colbon and Kris Welham scored two tries apiece as Rovers fought back from 6-0 and 12-6 down to claim victory.

"For a couple of weeks we have been really happy with our preparations and not wavered in our commitment to training, but we have just come up a bit short and lost a couple of close games," he said.

"It was important for our confidence and I think you saw that in the last 10 minutes when we played with a little more freedom.

"We dictated the second half, although we had no real right to, but we had some of our decisiveness back in defence.

"I asked the players for a big performance. Shaun Briscoe came up with three or four try-saving tackles and (Clint) Newton, (Ben) Galea and (Mick) Vella led us well.

"Benny Galea made some pretty important tackles for us. Peter Fox just wanted to bounce back after last week and today's performance is an indication of how far he has come.

"I have also got to give some credit to our unsung heroes Scott Wheeldon and Rhys Lovegrove who held us tight in the opening period of the second half. We want to maintain our spot in the top four and look forward to going to Leeds with a win behind us."

Bradford boss Steve McNamara said: "I think discipline cost us in the first half and I thought we were looking quite strong and OK, and then every time we got them where we wanted we let them off the hook. The first try we conceded came on the back of us being in complete control.

"I am now concerned about us getting up and running for next week. I still think there were a whole lot of positives to take out of the game. We were in control at the start and the stats will show we were in Hull KR territory for most of the game."
