Morgan promises response from Rovers

Rovers' five-match run came to an inglorious end when they were outplayed by a lively Wildcats team and they could lose third place in the table if Huddersfield beat Wigan in their last match on Sunday.
"It was a poor display," admitted Morgan. "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."
Of more concern to Morgan is the shoulder injury sustained by full-back Shaun Briscoe, who could be 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."
A virtuoso 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.
Hull KR had no answer to the prompting and probing of Obst, who took centre stage in the absence of Brad Drew and the loss of Danny Brough with a hip injury in the third quarter.
Obst, who started at hooker but enjoyed an all-encompassing role, recovered from two heavy blows to score one try and create two others with clever kicks.
"He did everything," said a delighted Wakefield coach John Kear. "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."
