Hull ready to thrive off KR crowd’s derby hostility

Correspondent

Hull FC prop Chris Green is ready to face the hostile atmopshere at the KC Lightstream Stadium on Friday, when the Airlie Birds clash with local rivals Hull KR.

Indeed, Green believes that he and his team-mates can thrive on the hostility, and use it to boost their performance.

“It will be a hostile environment but we will thrive off it,” he told the Hull Daily Mail.

“They’re always great games every time we play Hull KR.

“There always seems to be something riding on the match but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“The contests are great for the city and the Super League. We are both desperate for the win and there’s no better place for an intense game than KR’s ground.”
