HULL KR: We can be champions, says Morgan
JUSTIN Morgan insists Hull KR kick-off Super League XV tomorrow with a realistic dream of becoming champions.
Rovers head into the new campaign with fans' expectations high following their fourth-place finish last season.

Justin Morgan is hopeful for the new campaign
And Morgan says getting their hands on some silverware in 2010 is a realistic aim.
"Leeds are the benchmark, and I think there are six to eight teams that can win the competition. We are one of those teams, for sure," Morgan told the Mail.
"Our goal is to win a trophy – that is what we want to do. Success would be to win the Grand Final. That is the ultimate goal.
"We will have to play well, improve, and have a bit of luck, but why not us?"
Robins' impressive campaign ended in disappointing fashion with defeats at Leeds and then finally at home to Wigan in the play-offs last season.
But Morgan says his squad has buried those bad memories and is fully fired-up.
He said: "I don't think there is much of a hangover from last year.
"It has certainly spurred us on."
Asked about Hull FC's strong recruitment, Morgan said he was entirely focused on KR.
He said: "People have said to me it would be great for both teams to be in the finals, but I need to look after my team and I'll do my part to ensure we are there at the end of the season."

“ohh and by the way, your club would be the first to die and probably will when your franchise gets rejected, thats after clintons visa gets rejected, and the 10,000 dont turn up, and the debt increases, and cooke gets offloaded, gelea finds a new club, hudgell sells up and moves on, oh well theres always a trip to dewsbury.”

“calm down son, ha ha, my point is no matter who we play, what score we beat them and in what fashion we beat them, there will always be an excuse, but its pretty contradictive, when you dobbins blamed us for making excuses when we have had a genuine injury nightmare for 2 seasons running, really makes me pee. sorry if i hit a nerve, wigan 30-kr 16 u can bet on it i know i will be.”
