"Having a young squad can benefit us because we all have good engines," Eden told the Mail.
"We have a lot of class players in the squad and some good overseas stars, so we should gel very well.
"The squad is looking good and I think it's better than last year's. There is a lot more skill in the squad also and, unlike last season, we're not starting from scratch as it is Craig's second year as coach.
"My expectation levels are pretty high personally and I want to be in the top two full-backs in the country.
"I got picked for the Knights and hopefully one day I can play for England. I've not spoken to Steve McNamara as yet but hopefully I can be in his thoughts.
"I was 18th man in Belfast when the Knights played Ireland and due to an injury, the squad was reset and I got to play at centre."
This time last year, Eden was settling in to life at Huddersfield, where he started the season very well with seven tries in 11 games.
And having spent a week of training in Tenerife with the Robins before Christmas he feels ready to get started in Super League.
"It was good to get out there and train in such conditions and facilities," he said.
"It's beneficial to go on a camp because it gives new players that extra time to get to know their teammates well ahead of the season."

“who else have you got to challenge him for the 1 shirt?”

“harbolites, I agree with you which is why I am hoping the speculation re investment doesn't upset the applecart (talk of marquee signings etc etc).
I want Rovers to follow the path that has been set (by the Board and coach) and for any invest to go on infrastructure to build on this. NH and RC followed the 'marquee' signing dream and it didn't work so lets not take another step backwards.
As for Greg Eden, he needs to consolidate on securing the No1 shirt with Rovers this season before thinking any further. From what I saw of him last season he looks a great prospect, but he is still a rookie and learning his trade. He needs to get a full season under his belt and maintain a high level of consistency before even thinking about international honours.”

“The 10K challenge has only reached 7877 after 117 days of daily spin
Only 464 Gateshull passes sold in the last 48 days
That's only an average of 9.6 per day.
Only 34 days left until the start of the season
34 x 9.6 pass sales per day = 326
7877 + 326 = 8203
Ouch
Not looking good for the 10K challenge is it?
Maybe they should re name it the 8K challenge
And to top it all. We are getting a reported £15million investment
Merry Christmas

“Hopefully, Greg will first establish himself as a reliable fullback.
Along with the rest of the squad this coming season, we need commitment, in particular with our defensive play and general attitude. If we don't get that right next year, the Teams moral will fall and we will be back to square one.
I believe we will have a much improved season.”
