Titans' delight after derby win

TITANS' skipper Mike Whitehead lauded praise on his side after Saturday's impressive 11-7 win over arch rivals Doncaster.

The Knights had won the previous seven games between the sides and were hot favourites to take the points after winning four Championship games on the bounce.

Rotherham were hamstrung by losing key pack men such as Ross Batty and Tinus Du Plessis - but after a hard-hewn performance they came out on top.

Titans led 11-0 at half time thnaks to two Jonny West penalties and a Gregor Hayter try and worked their socks off to survive a second half fightback which only yielded a penalty try for the Knights.

Said Whitehead: "I thought the lads were magnificent, right down the line.

"Everyone worked really hard and I think we deserved the win."
