Wigan Warriors, Leeds Rhinos, St Helens and Warrington Wolves sweat on major blows

Well, the Magic Weekend is now over and what a weekend it has been!

Toulouse Olympique kicked off the showpiece event with a superb win over West Yorkshire side Wakefield Trinity, helping their fears of relegation whilst St Helens and Wigan Warriors played out a classic in the second fixture with Kristian Woolf’s men just about getting over the line against Matt Peet’s side.

The third game on Saturday saw Castleford Tigers go down to Leeds Rhinos despite leading at half-time as the latter ran in 28 points in the second forty minutes for a brilliant 34-20 win.

Wind the clock forward to Sunday and Huddersfield Giants were able to overcome Salford Red Devils for the first game of the afternoon, with Warrington Wolves easing past Catalans Dragons in perhaps the shock of the round so far.

Then came arguably the game of the round as Hull FC and Hull KR dished up an absolute classic with the Black and Whites just about getting over the line in a 34-28 win.

But, just who could miss the next round of games through injury or illness?
