Super League Predictions – Magic Weekend

Well I'm sure you're all well on your way to Murrayfield by now. But if not and you've decided to stay back at home then clear your schedule for a weekend of Rugby league all the way from the Scottish capital.

 
And whilst Magic weekend has robbed of my Friday night rugby I have to find something else to do but how do I think the weekend will go,  just like this:
 
Saturday, 02 May 2009
Salford v Harlequins RL
Wakefield v Bradford
Wigan v St Helens
 
Sunday, 03 May 2009
Catalans Dragons v Leeds
Huddersfield v Celtic Crusaders
Hull v Castleford
Warrington v Hull KR
 
 
So there ya go, I think a good weekend for those from Hull and I think Catalan maybe able to pull off a win against the struggling Leeds team.
