JAMES BATCHELOR has revealed Hull KR have known since day one they could mix it up in Super League this season but have been keeping quiet on their title ambitions.

But England Knights second-row Batchelor, a revelation in his first season at Craven Park since moving from Wakefield, says they always expected to be fighting it out with the big guns.
"It's great to be in the semi but we're not really thinking about reaching Old Trafford," he said.
