Hull KR coach Chris Chester expects French international Kevin Larroyer to continue his positive contribution in derbies tonight.
Larroyer, who has agreed a new season-long loan at Rovers for next year, has scored in both KR wins over Hull this season.
Larroyer made it clear when he signed for the Robins, that he was looking forward to making his mark in the cross-city battles.
And Chester has no doubts he will have a big say in how the 223rd derby goes.
"Kevin is a great signing for us," Chester told the Mail.
"We are grateful for Catalan to allow us to re-sign him for another season.
"He always wanted to stay and there was never any doubt.
"The board have been great in putting up a fee for him and we are delighted he's staying for another season.
"Kevin has been very good for us and has been a very consistent performer for us all season.
"He had a bit of a dip four or five weeks ago when he was carrying an injury or two, but we saw the real Kevin against Wigan and he'll play a big part against Hull."
While Larroyer is embracing the derbies for the first time, tonight will be the final derby for some in the red and white shirt.
Josh Hodgson is heading for Australia, Rhys Lovegrove is also moving on while Craig Hall, who was the match-winner at the KC Lightstream Stadium in April, is joining Wakefield next season.
It may also be the final game for those leaving Rovers and Chester hopes tonight will provide a winning swan-song.
"It would be nice to send those players who are leaving out on a winning note," he said.
"They have been great players for this club for a number of years.
"We have to make sure we apply ourselves properly and turn up with the same honesty and commitment we did against Wigan."
