THE TEAM NEWS

HULL FC

• Hull FC produced a woeful campaign in 2023 but Tony Smith will be hoping for better this time around with the club opting to make wholesale changes to their playing roster.
• Jake Clifford and Chris Satae were among the big names to leave the West Hull outfit but Nu Brown, Herman Ese’ese and Franklin Pele are among their impressive additions with all three set to debut here.

21-MAN SQUAD: Hoy, Sutcliffe, McIntosh, F. Brown, Ese’ese, Houghton, Pele, Okunbor, Sao, Cator, Lane, Ashworth, Scott, Smith, J. Brown, Gardiner, Litten, Staveley, Martin, Jebson, Walker

HULL KR

• Hull KR were one of the highlights of last year as they came within 80 minutes of making it to the Super League Grand Final while they also made it to Wembley for the Challenge Cup final.
• The Robins were beaten by Leigh Leopards in that contest as their wait for silverware continued but they have added to a strong roster with the likes of Peta Hiku and Tyrone May.

21-MAN SQUAD: Hiku, Evalds, Opacic, Gildart, Hall, Lewis, Sue, Litten, King, Hadley, Batchelor, Minchella, Parcell, Whitbread, Aydin, Tanginoa, Hall, May, Gorman, Tennison, Burgess

THE PREDICTION

The Hull Derby will get the 2024 Super League campaign underway with a bumper crowd expected at the KCOM Stadium. The fierce local rivals will each be desperate to put on a show and come away with the win but it might be tough going for the hosts. They have made numerous changes to the make-up of their squad and while they could gel in time, it is hard to see them producing enough quality to overturn the 0-40 loss they suffered in the same fixture last season.

TIP: Hull KR to win
