FEATHERSTONE'S bid to sign off on a high ended in highly disappointing fashion.
They led 18-0 inside 11 minutes and 32-12 late in the first half before losing the plot.
Halifax crossed twice just before the break and dominated the second half to surge 46-32 ahead.
And though Rovers did launch a brief revival midway through the half, as tries from Jack Lee and Paul Handforth hauled them to within two points, the visitors ran amok in the closing stages as the home defence crumbled.
Four minutes in the final nine minutes sealed Rovers' fate, during which time they also had a frustrated Handforth sent off for dissent.
