North Wales Crusaders are still favourites for league crown
However, despite seeing his side slip to only their second league defeat of the campaign, head coach Forster says Crusaders are still in a great position.
He told the club's YouTube channel: 'We move on. We're still in a great position.
'I've just said that. The lads have put themselves in this position where, you know, two from four gets you a league title.
'You know, we'd have took that at the start of the season, obviously.
'So, it isn't the end of the world.'
North Wales will be looking to bounce back this Sunday when they make the trip to sixth-placed Rochdale Hornets, who need a victory themselves in their quest to qualify for the end-of-season Super 8s.
The month draws to an end for Cru with home matches against Goole Vikings (August 24) and Keighley Cougars (August 31), before the regular season comes to a close at Whitehaven on September 7.

Hibs edge closer to Grant Hanley deal after 'significant' piece of transfer business
Scotland internationalist could replace Miller after deal with Blackburn Rovers Sign up to our Football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Hibs are edging closer to the signing of Scotland centre-half Grant Hanley after confirming that fellow defender Lewis Miller has joined Blackburn Rovers for a 'significant fee'. Australian internationalist Miller was entering the final 12 months of his contract at Easter Road after an extension earlier this summer and was wanted by a clutch of English Championship sides. The Scotsman understands that Blackburn have paid in the region of £1 million for the 24-year-old, who can play as a right-back as well as a centre-half. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Miller's departure leaves a void in the Hibs squad and discussions are ongoing with experienced centre-half Grant Hanley. The 33-year-old has been capped 62 times by Scotland and remains part of Steve Clarke's current squad. Lewis Miller has packed his bags and left Hibs for Blackburn Rovers. | SNS Group Formerly of Blackburn, Newcastle, Norwich and Birmingham City, Hanley is now a free agent after being part of the Blues' League One title-winning squad and attended Hibs' 2-1 Europa League defeat by Midtjylland last week. On Miller's departure, Hibs head coach David Gray said: 'I'd like to start by thanking Millsy for all his efforts during his time with us. 'Since making the move to Scotland, he's been coachable, willing to learn, and has relentlessly worked on his game. He's certainly seen the rewards for that both at club level and internationally. We know he can go a long way and wish him all the best in England with Blackburn.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hibs sporting director Malky Mackay added: 'We triggered Lewis Miller's contract extension back in April, knowing there was a lot of interest in him from the UK and abroad. It's been widely reported that we rejected bids for him earlier in the window and have worked hard to get a fee that reflects his true value.
