A TRY from Richard Lepori and a Lewis Palfrey goal was all Oldham had to show for their visit to the Bigfellas Stadium.
The Roughyeds' points came in the first half as they slipped to defeat against Featherstone Rovers in the Kingstone Press Championship.
Trailing 10-6 at the break, Scott Naylor's side had every chance of securing a second league win of the season.
However, Featherstone proved too hard to break down after the restart and gradually pulled clear of battling Oldham.
The hosts scored four tries through Kyle Briggs (two), Misi Taulapapa and Anthony Thackeray. Briggs also kicked two goals.
