Jake Trueman has warned Hull KR they’ll be facing a different Hull FC team on Sunday.
The in-form stand-off, 24, aims to bring derby joy to the Black and Whites side of the city. He was still recovering from ACL surgery and yet to make his Hull debut when they suffered a 40-0 Good Friday humiliation at home to Rovers. But the return of the ex-Castleford star has helped lift Tony Smith’s side who have won five of their last eight Super League matches ahead of the short return trip to Craven Park.
Trueman said: “We owe the fans one from last time. It was a bit of a non-contest at Easter and they got the better of us. Hopefully we get it done on Sunday. I know we’ll be a lot more competitive. And I’m really looking forward to the derby. I’ve heard so much about it and got to experience a little bit of it here watching that last one. It was intense. Unfortunately that day we had a bad patch and we were low on confidence. But we’ll be a different team this week.”
