Jordan Rapana takes a carry in for Hull FC in the derby.
Hull FC were defeated 18-4 by Hull KR on Sunday afternoon. A patched-up side battled hard, but it was the Robins who ran out winners in East Hull for their sixth consecutive derby win. Here are the ratings.
Lloyd Kemp – Spirited performance at full-back from the teenager, who was brave, tenacious, and at times, showed his quality. He never backed down and showed why he is expected to have a bright future at the club. 7
Tom Briscoe – Scored another derby try and looked to link up on Hull’s right edge, seeing a lot of ball. 6
Jordan Rapana – Arguably his best game for Hull. Played tough, assisted Briscoe’s try and carried strong all game. Sin binned late on and could get further action from the MRP. 7
Davy Litten – Limited chances in good ball opportunities. He was well watched but stuck at it in an enticing battle with Peta Hiku. 6
Lewis Martin – As above. Worked hard in the backfield but didn’t get any opportunity in good ball. 6
Cade Cust – Battled hard before leaving the field in the second half. He got involved in a scuffle with Mikey Lewis during play, and Jack Broadbent took advantage to score. He was then interchanged. 6
Aidan Sezer – Led a makeshift and restricted side well. A proper scrum half who has been superb this season. 6
Jack Ashworth – Another Hull player who could be in bother with the MRP on Monday after a late hit on Mikey Lewis. Started at prop before returning to the field at back row. Ran hard. 6
Amir Bourouh – Gutsy and tenacious but has to be crisper with the ball. Two big errors with forward passes, one of which resulted in Rovers points. 5
Liam Watts – The veteran prop started the game and did his bit as Hull battled on. Some good carries and looked to be the middle link in a side that struggled for territory. 6
Zak Hardaker – In the back row again and ran hard before lining up at full-back. Gritty as always. 6
Jordan Lane – Played the full game again. Ran hard. Defended tough. Testament to him to play 80 minutes back to back to back after such a long time out. 6
Yusuf Aydin – The forward could be another player reviewed by the MRP after a tackle on Arthur Mourgue. He was sin-binned at the time. Otherwise, he battled hard as he has all season. 6
Brad Fash – Came on and into the thick of the action. Ran hard and scrambled in defence. 6
Will Gardiner – His first appearance since March. Did nothing wrong and played his role in a spirited Hull account. 6
Matty Laidlaw – Put himself about and played with plenty of heart. Deserves his new deal and the opportunity to kick on next year. 6
Callum Kemp – Played the last quarter and immediately got stuck in. Looked composed and added to the side. Another teenager with a bright future. 6
