Hull FC vs Hull Kingston Rovers - Thursday, July 23rd - 20:00 BST

Fans in Hull still believe this is the biggest Derby because it is the only one with two teams in one City. Yes, that is true, but in terms of rugby league it is still not the biggest and best Derby. Hull can be hit and miss, and I don't mean on a weekly basis, I mean during 80 minutes. They can be outplayed for 40 minutes, but then turn it on for 25 minutes or so before falling short. They have to be up for this one, they have a chance to beat their fierce rivals and defending champions while their opponents are missing their best player. Mikey Lewis has been suspended for four matches for two acts of petulance in the loss against Warrington Wolves. Lewis is a brilliant player, but he can lose his head. He is a massive loss, but I still think the Robins will be too good for the Black and Whites. Hull welcome back try scoring winger Lewis Martin following head injury protocols, while Max Wood is back at the club on loan from Warrington. Rovers are already without Lewis, while Peta Hiku returns from his own suspension but Noah Booth misses out after suffering a concussion last weekend. I have mentioned Lewis will be a big loss, but I just do not think Hull FC are good enough to beat the Robins. The champions have quality players like Hiku, Oliver Gildart, Jack Broadbent, Tom Davies, Jez Litten and Sauaso Sue. I just think they will have too much power in the pack and skill in the backs. It is still a Derby, so Hull will not lie down. I am backing Rovers to win this game by 11-15 points with Davies, Hiku and Broadbent all scoring tries. I do think Hull will post points, so I am backing Harvey Barron to cross at some point.

Super League Round 20 Player Anytime Try Scorer Accas

Recently, I have done well with these bets, so now I am letting you join in on the fun. I'll probably get them all wrong this week now.
