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.
That is until now. The Robins are 80 minutes from Old Trafford and visit table-toppers Wigan on Saturday looking to book a maiden Grand Final appearance.
Having already reached the Challenge Cup final, narrowly losing out to Leigh at Wembley, Willie Peters' side have certainly punched above their weight this year.
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.
