HULL KR coach Justin Morgan has urged his players to claim their first Super League win at Leeds on Friday for injured Chev Walker.

Walker suffered a horrific broken leg after just 11 minutes of the 44-10 qualifying play-off defeat at Headingley in September.

The 27-year-old is still recovering and Morgan hopes the former Great Britain international will be back training soon.

And he says a win at the Rhinos would be a perfect tonic for the popular former Leeds star as he continues his rehabilitation.

"I don't have a specific date on his return, although he said tongue in cheek he was ready to play Friday," Morgan told the Mail.

"I know he's not playing this weekend but it would mean a lot to him to go to his old club and win.

"Chev is a big part of this club and he is working hard to get himself right. He is coming along nicely. Hopefully in the not too distant future, we'll see him in training."

Winning for Walker would be fitting, but more importantly for Morgan and his team, the trip to the Super League champions provides a chance to make immediate amends for last week's disappointing collapse against Wakefield.

Rovers need a win to keep in touch with the early-season pace-setters, and Morgan admits he wants to remove Headingley from the list of just three Super League grounds he has yet to win at.

"We haven't won at Headingley in the Super League, although we have beaten Leeds previously," he said.

"It's one of those grounds that you always look for when the fixtures come out.

"The atmosphere created by the fans is very special and the fact they are the champions adds to it.

"The two points wouldn't go astray at this stage of the season.

"We need to drag some momentum in our favour because we gave some of that away at the weekend."
