When you place fourth in the league in your first and third plays, that means there’s always a lot to be on the line. Next, we add the fact that both matches are two of the most ferocious derbys in world sports.
Ask fans of Hull FC, Hull KR, Wigan Warriors and St Helens, Easter weekends swirl on the calendar long before fixtures are released in any season.
When discussing their aspects among friends during the Super League season, or on the terrace, you’ll say, “As long as I beat that lot on Good Friday, I don’t care.”
The family draws lines in the sand for a day and only one day, and their intense support on their side cannot communicate with people they know the opposite colour until the clash is over.

Highlights of the Super League Derby Match between Hal KR and Hal FC
In the only rivalry where the two clubs come from the same city, it is a lesson of intensity, deep-rooted neglect, and an opportunity to show who is number one in the Super League as well as in the city.
Yes, the winner of the 2025 Good Friday Derby between these two clubs could end the weekend at the top of the table. Hal KR has the ability to clear two points at the top.
The victory is the opportunity to say “This city is ours,” Robbins 1-0 in the Derby tally so far this year, after beating his rivals in the Challenge Cup quarterfinals just a few weeks ago.
If Hull FC level up that scoreline, they will need one of the performances of the season so far, but if John Cartwright’s side shows something, they have a “never die” attitude.

Higlight in the Super League match between Hull FC and Lee Leopard
Meanwhile, Willie Peters’ Hal KR is one of the teams to win in 2025, and I would like to send another statement that this is the season when the much-anticipated trophy was finally put into the cabinet.
Robin’s talent meets Hull FC’s steel, but only one claims bragging rights.

Highlights from the St. Helens and the Wigan Warriors’ Super League match.
The 19th Earl of Derby, approved Earl of Derby, is believed to have given the name “Derby” to two sporting events. Of course, one is horse racing at Epsom.
Do you ask one more? Wigan Warriors vs St. Helens.
When this rival officially began in 1895, no one could have predicted that one big hill, lovingly known as the “billing lamp”, would grow into two of the most successful and iconic clubs in the sport, the two towns would separate and one big hill would grow.
Yes 20 people competed against each other in the 20 major finals, and both the saints and Wigans know how to breed success.

St. Helens and Wigan players were caught up in a massive brawl during the 2004 Super League clash of Good Friday
Certainly, it is probably what makes all Good Fridays between these two clubs very unstable. They cried out for their side in the stands, even etching their names into a glorious list of players competing with their enemies.
Wigan is the current Super League standard bearer, but inherited that title from the Saints in 2023, with Paul Wellens’ side beating it over champions who support a back-to-back Good Friday victory.
Expect a bruise between the two sides that has come to help define the term “super league rivalry.”
