Carlos Tuimavave starts for Hull FC as Brett Hodgson names derby line-up

Carlos Tuimavave will make his first league appearance of the season for Hull FC after overcoming a calf injury in time to take on Hull KR. The centre has missed all seven league games this season through injury, his only appearance coming in the Challenge Cup win over Sheffield Eagles.

He replaces Mitieli Vulikijapani in the side and is expected to partner Darnell McIntosh on the right edge. Josh Reynolds comes into the starting line-up to play alongside skipper Luke Gale in the halves, while Joe Lovodua starts at loose-forward.

Brad Fash replaces the benched Chris Satae in the starting XIII, while Jordan Lane returns to the side and will come off the bench against the Robins. Kane Evans will be looking to make a big impact off the bench, too, as he takes part in his first Hull derby.
