Hull KR claimed the city bragging rights with a 22-0 win in a wild derby with Hull FC on Super League opening night.
Hull KR claimed the city bragging rights with a 22-0 win in a wild derby with Hull FC on Betfred Super League opening night which included two red cards and two yellows. Tries from debutants Niall Evalds, who completed the win with a second late on, and Kelepi Tanginoa, plus a superb solo score from Mikey Lewis, put the Robins into a 14-0 lead at half-time and left the hosts facing an uphill battle.
But errors from Jayden Okunbor and Jack Ashworth sapped most of the momentum the home side could build, and the Hull defence stood off again as player of the match Lewis skipped through again to take Rovers' lead to 12. Hiku nailed his first and only conversion of the night before the first period ended on a desperate note for the hosts, as Pele followed up a tackle on Minchella with a needless swing towards his opponent on the ground, prompting a mass confrontation and a red card.
