Two five-goal hauls from Greg Warren and Matt Dunn steered Tigers to a comfortable victory over the bottom-placed side.
Blake Forrester was on target four times for Tigers while teammate Mitchell Godfrey bagged a couple of goals for the game.
Tigers were on song from the get-go from the first siren, kicking seven unanswered goals in the first quarter to create a 46-point deficit by the start of the second term.
Rovers finally notched one back with Justin Evans breaking the deadlock and becoming his team’s best performer of the afternoon with two goals.
By half-time, the score showed Tigers on top by 10 goals with an entire half of footy still to come.
The Tigers barely let their foot off the gas in the second half with another four goals in the third quarter in response to Rovers’ Evans second.
