Hull derby fight

Hull KR vs Hull FC: Willie Peters Prepares for 250th Encounter in Super League

Head coach Willie Peters of Hull KR has experienced numerous derby matches during his career, yet he asserts that none rival the intensity between the Robins and Hull FC.

The rivalry traces back to 1899, when the two teams first faced off at Hull KR's home grounds, resulting in a victory for the Robins.

In the Super League alone, the teams have clashed 50 times, with Hull KR winning 26 matches while Hull FC has taken 24.

Debates continue among fans regarding which derby reigns supreme, as each side passionately supports its claim as the top rivalry in the sport or even globally.

Peters has participated in legendary contests worldwide, including St Helens vs Wigan, and notable Sydney matchups.

Given his extensive experience in rivalries, Peters remains convinced that the Hull derby is unmatched, especially in the lead-up to their 250th showdown.
