The winners and losers at Magic Weekend plus the build-up to one of the greatest sporting rivalries on Earth, State of Origin, feature in Set of Six. Alex Sandro Jersey . The Magic of Newcastle A record 68,276 fans turned up at St James Park over the two days to cheer on their teams as once again Magic Weekend delivered.The Dacia Magic Weekend has been an incredible success this year and once again rugby league fans have turned out in force, creating an incredible atmosphere and helping to make this one of the most memorable weekends in the events history, said Rugby Football League chief executive Nigel Wood.Plans will be starting soon for Magic Weekend 2017 with Newcastle the favourite to host the event for a third year in a row.The event has been taken to Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester since it was first held in 2007 and officials say a decision on the venue for next year will be made following a review in the coming months.Hull FC in pole position Hull derby action from St James Park as Hull FC take on Hull KR as part of Magic Weekend On the field, Hull FC stormed to the top of the Super League table with a 28-16 win over Hull KR. The Black and Whites went into Magic Weekend level on points with Warrington and Catalans, but with the Wolves losing to Cas and Wakefield downing the Dragons - more on those later - Hull FC battled back from 16-10 down to claim a 10th win from their last 11 games and top the table.Derbies always bring out the best of teams, but Hull KR coach James Webster believes that their fierce rivals are the real deal.They are a good team - a good fast team - and have a massive squad that is fully fit, he said. Do I expect them to be pushing for [the title]? One hundred per cent.That one pointer Highlights of Wakefield Wildcats match against Catalans Dragons at St James Park in the first part of a Sunday triple-header in Magic Weekend Was that the most important drop-goal in Wakefields history? That remarkable one pointer from Jacob Miller earned the Wildcats a dramatic 25-24 win over Catalans Dragons.It was their third successive victory which moved them up to sixth on the Super League table. And Wakey coach Chris Chester believes they are just three wins away from securing a place in the Super 8s.That is some achievement from a side who were bottom of the table when the Super League split into the play-offs last season.As for Millers drop-goal: I thought he had no chance, to be honest, but I am pleased he got it through the posts, said Chester.Castleford bounce back Highlights from the Magic Weekend match between Warrington and Castleford It was a weekend of comebacks as Cas also fought back from 14-0 down to earn a stunning 34-14 win against Warrington.It was a fantastic display of attacking rugby from the Tigers as Denny Solomona and Luke Dorn scored two tries against a Wolves side who pride themselves on their defence.This is the second week in a row that Warrington have conceded more than 30 points following their 36-28 defeat to Wakefield and they would have left Newcastle a tad concerned. No such concerns for Cas though who will be confident ahead of Thursdays clash with Wigan, live on Sky Sports.What next for Leeds and McDermott? Highlights from the Magic Weekend match between Leeds and Wigan Another side who would have been happy to see the back of St James Park was Leeds who succumbed to their 12th defeat in 15 Super League matches. This time it was Wigan handing out the punishment - a 40-8 loss that has heaped even more pressure on coach Brian McDermott.McDermott has not given up and still believes his side can turn things around but concedes the 2015 treble champions may be out of the Grand Final running.As weeks go by and you keep losing games, your objectives shift, McDermott told the Yorkshire Evening Post.I dont know whether I am giving up on the Grand Final. I dont think I am, but numerically we just might be out of touch at the moment.But I want to mix with and train with and work with and pretty much live with a group of men who just give it absolutely everything each week.State of OriginOne of the greatest sporting rivalries in the world is set to kick-off again in 2016 as Queensland and New South Wales have announced their teams.The first of the three match series will take place June 1 at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney with the second on June 22 and the third and final game on July 13.Queensland are the defending champions and have stuck with a winning team with only two new faces - Broncos winger Corey Oates and Cowboys centre Justin ONeil getting the nod.NSW have rung the changes from the side that was destroyed 52-6 in game three last year.Blues coach Laurie Daley has called rookies Adam Reynolds, Matt Moylan Josh Mansour, Dylan Walker and Tyson Frizell into his 19-man squad.We have a couple of players in doubt, we dont have to name a team for a while, so we will see how it goes, Daley told Australian Associated Press.One player who should be able to take his spot in Origin 1 is Robbie Farah who is confident he will have recovered from concussion.It is just a matter of resting up and making sure that I am fully recovered, he said. I am feeling good and looking forward to preparing well for next Wednesday.

The Montreal Canadiens goaltender has won three of his four games since returning from a lower-body injury that kept him out from the end of the Olympic break until March 15.CALGARY - When overtime started, Josh Jooris was sitting in the penalty box. When it ended, he was being mobbed by his teammates.Jooris scored at 1:08 of overtime to lead the Calgary Flames to a wild 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday.I was fortunate to come out of the box at the right time and they (Jiri Hudler and Dennis Wideman) just made a great play and I was able to put it in, said Jooris, who took a tripping penalty at 19:01 of the third period while Edmontons Jeff Petry was sent to the box at the same time for embellishment. I was just hoping that we keep it in their zone and have possession of the puck when I came out of the box because its either Petry has 15 feet on me or I have 15 feet on him.Jooris jumped out of the box and took a pass from Hudler before wiring a shot into the top corner, glove side behind Edmonton goalie Ben Scrivens.We needed that two points and the fact that it came against a big rival in Edmonton, its sweeter, said Jooris, who returned to the Calgary lineup after missing the past three games with an upper-body injury. I havent been a part of this rivalry for too long, but you feel it out there. You want to beat them every time.Joe Colborne counted his second and third goals of the season — all against the Oilers — for the Flames (21-15-3).I knew sooner or later they were going to start to go in and its nice to start getting some bounces, said Colborne, who scored his first goal of the season during a 4-1 win over the Oilers at the Saddledome four days earlier. Its especially nice getting them against them, but I wouldnt mind having this success against some other teams, too.Lance Bouma also scored, while Sean Monahan and Curtis Glencross chipped in with two assists each. Making his sixth consecutive start in net for the Flames, goalie Jonas Hiller made 17 saves to improve his record to 13-10-2.Matt Fraser, Jordan Eberle and Andrew Ference scored for the Oilers (8-22-8), while goalie Scrivens stopped 24-of-28 shots he faced in a losing cause.Right now I love our starts, said Eberle, who ended a nine-game goalless drought. I love the way were competing for 40 minutes. It seems like the last two games, weve almost let them come at us and weather the storm and thats not how you win hockey games in this league. You keep going at teams. You continue to play the way that got you the lead.Calgary built up a 5-1 advantage in shots in the first period, but couldnt geet any pucks past Scrivens, who made 39 saves one night earlier to backstop the Oilers to a 3-2 shootout win over the L. Rolando Mandragora Jersey. A. Kings in Edmonton.Edmonton opened the scoring at 16:06 of the first with a power-play goal by Fraser, who was claimed off waivers from the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Hiller stopped the initial shot by David Perron before Fraser adeptly picked up the puck behind the net and banked it off the Calgary goalie and in.I think this team is pretty fragile right now, said Fraser after the loss. I heard it a long time ago that losing can be contagious and part of that, being a new guy in here coming from an organization like Boston, is youve got to bring that element of your game when youre not content with losing.For myself, Ive got to bring something every night so they can see that I want to be a guy that is a difference maker.The Flames had a great chance to even the score after Edmonton defenceman Keith Aulie was assessed a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for a hit to the head on Matt Stajan with 54.2 seconds left in the first period.Scrivens stopped a slap shot fired his way by Mark Giordano and then the rebound attempt by Glencross as time expired in the first. Early in the second on the same power play, Colborne tipped Widemans point shot past Scrivens, but the Edmonton goalie recovered in time to smother the puck with his glove before it crossed the goal-line.Eberle gave the Oilers a 2-0 lead at 10:28 of the second when he took a feed from Leon Draisaitl in the slot and lifted a shot over Hillers blocker and into the Calgary net.Colborne pulled the Flames within a goal with a power-play marker at 18:01 of the second when he converted a feed from Monahan.Bouma tied things up at 4:28 of the third when he backhanded a shot from the slot past Scrivens, who stopped the initial shot taken by Paul Byron.Ference then regained the lead for the Oilers when he took a pass from Draisaitl and blasted a low shot from the point past Hiller.The see-saw battle continued when Colborne drove to the net and shovelled a shot through Scrivens legs at 11:55 of the third.Notes: Calgary now has an all-time record of 17-8-3 on games played on New Years Eve. … The Flames improved to 8-11-1 when trailing after two periods. … Mason Raymond was a healthy scratch after failing to record a point in his past 13 games with the Flames. … Hudler extended his point-scoring streak to five straight games.
