Hull KR's top dog Willie Peters is gearing up for a classic showdown as rivals Hull FC prepare to take on the challenge of the Super League derby on Friday.

With the Robins flying high after securing four wins out of their first six games, including a thrilling derby victory on opening night, Hull FC finds themselves on shaky ground with just one win under their belt in 2024.

The Airlie Birds have been struggling to keep pace, conceding a whopping 50 or more points in their last two matches.

Peters knows that heading into this derby, Hull FC will be fired up and hungry for redemption.

"If we were in their boots, I'd be telling my team to seize this opportunity to turn their season around against their old foes.

There's no better way to bounce back than by taking down your rivals," Peters shared with BBC Radio Humberside in his characteristic sporting wisdom.

As the derby day approaches, all eyes will be on the pitch as these two teams collide in a battle of pride and passion.

Expect fireworks, drama, and a showdown for the ages in true Rugby League fashion.
