Willie Peters says the upcoming Hull KR vs Hull FC derby is the biggest rivalry in rugby league as the clubs meet for the 250th time.

This Good Friday clash at the Robins' home ground marks the 250th encounter between the two east Hull clubs, a milestone Peters believes eclipses iconic rivalries like Saints vs Wigan or Cronulla vs St George.

Historically, the two sides have played 50 times in Super League, with Hull KR holding a 26-24 advantage. The first meeting in 1899 saw the Robins win on their own turf.

Peters' conviction stems from his extensive experience in rugby league's fiercest clashes, yet he insists the Hull derby's electric atmosphere and passionate fanbase make it unparalleled. He stated, 'This is the biggest derby of them all' ahead of the historic fixture.

The 250th meeting will test both clubs' season ambitions, with the derby's intensity and significance remaining a constant regardless of league position.
