Titans face battle to keep key players

The Clifton Lane club head into the play-offs next week, following today's regular season finale against London Scottish, knowing that several squad members have been targeted by Premiership sides.

It is expected that lucrative offers will be tabled after next month’s deadline for talking to players.

But Rotherham will crank up their determination to reach the top flight for a third time, which will help persuade players to stay.

Said Bester: “There are players who will be offered big contracts at the end of this season.

“There are probably more people after Rotherham players now than ever before but it doesn’t take away the fact that this group is determined to end this year as strong as humanly possible. They will be as competitive as ever and will take it as far as they possibly can."
