THIS Saturday Warrington Wolves should have been playing fierce rivals Wigan Warriors at St James’ Park in Newcastle in the Magic Weekend, the event in which a complete round of Super League matches are played over two days at one venue.

It is the eighth successive round of this year’s competition postponed due to the coronavirus lockdown in the UK, so instead sports editor Mike Parsons counts down his top 10 favourite moments from past Magic Weekend events that have taken place in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool as well as Newcastle since the first one at The Millennium Stadium 13 years ago.

See if you agree with him as we count down from 10 to 1 over the coming days and let us know if there’s any other moments you would have included.

Number 8: The 2008 comeback:

Few teams win a Super League match from trailing 22-6 at half-time.

But the Wire side that went on to topple Huddersfield Giants at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, with the help of four tries in nine minutes, was transformed in the second half. Paul Cullen’s team talk at the break must have been pretty special, just like Lee Briers’ performance was in the 36-34 victory.
