HULL FC host Hull KR at the MKM Stadium on Thursday night to kick off the 2024 Super League season.
In what promises to be one of the most hotly-anticipated Super League seasons in recent history, both the Black and Whites and Rovers will be wanting to get off to the best start possible against their bitter rivals.
Brad Fash is out for the Black and Whites, whilst there is a race against time to be fit for Carlos Tuimavave. Jake Trueman remains sidelined as he continues his rehab.
Meanwhile, Kelepi Tanginoa could make his KR debut after missing pre-season with an injury with new signings Peta Hiku, Tyrone May and Oliver Gildart likely to start. Sam Luckley and Matty Storton are out.
