The Super League’s Magic Weekend is back and Newcastle is again the host as all ten teams play over Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday sees second placed Hull in action and with leaders Castleford not playing until Sunday, Lee Radford’s men could go top with victory over St Helens.
The weekend kicks off with bottom-of-table Widnes facing Wakefield, and with new loan signing Rangi Chase they are looking to move above Leigh – who play on Sunday against Salford.
Wigan face Warrington in Saturday’s big finale, in what promises to be one of the best matches of the weekend.
On Sunday, Catalans v Huddersfield kick-off the day before Leigh and Salford clash. The biggest game of the weekend finishes the weekend off with Castleford taking on Leeds Rhinos.
