Thursday 29th October, 19:45, Super League Round 19, Totally Wicked Stadium, St Helens, Hull KR versus Hull FC
The Hull derby takes on a twist as it takes place in St Helens for the first time with the form of these two sides very different. Whilst Hull KR have lost their last two games, conceding 86 points, Hull FC have won their last two, racking up 66 points in the process. Hull, however, remain in sixth with a very slim chance of making the top four whilst the Robins languish at the foot of the table.
