Galea is in his second season at Craven Park

Hull KR forward Ben Galea believes his team will bounce back from defeat last week and finish well up the table.

The Australian, who won the 2005 NRL Grand Final with Wests Tigers, said Rovers had improved significantly in his time at the club.

He told BBC Look North: "I don't think we're far away at all as we beat St Helens who are top of the ladder.

"If we can keep building on the season that we've started I think that there is every chance we can go all the way."

Rovers are second in the Super League table behind St Helens, despite an unexpected reverse at Huddersfield.

Galea added: "Last year we were a new squad with a lot of new players but this year we're a lot older as a team.

"Everyone knows each other as a team and the way each other plays and I think that's made a massive difference for us."
