Magic Weekend is back and Newcastle plays host to rugby league’s favourite weekend, with six games live on Sky Sports. Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester have all sampled the delights Magic Weekend has to offer and after a hugely successful show at Newcastle, the 12 Super League sides are back at St James’ Park for the 2016 edition.Excited? So are we. To whet your appetite – take a look at some of the Magic Weekend’s magic matches…2007 - Bradford 38-42 Leeds Jordan Tansey (left) of the Rhinos celebrates with team-mates after scoring the match-winning try in injury time Cast your memories back to 2007 when the Magic Weekend was known as Millennium Magic.Leeds and Bradford walked out for a grandstand finish in Cardiff, ready to renew their Yorkshire rivalries a long way from home. What happened next went down in Super League folklore.The two sides shared 13 tries, Michael Platt scoring twice for the Bulls and Brent Webb grabbing a hat-trick for the Rhinos, but the final minute is the one that sticks out.With Bradford leading 38-36, the clock hit 79, but referee Steve Ganson awarded a penalty to Leeds for offside.Kevin Sinfield lined up 40 metres out on the left touchline and let fly. The kick looked good before falling just short, eventually hitting the bar - but Jordan Tansey followed up and touched down.Despite Tansey being in front of the kicker, the four-pointer was awarded. Cue pandemonium, and a Sinfield cartwheel to boot!2008 - Huddersfield 34-36 Warrington Stuart Reardon of Warrington is tackled by Eorl Crabtree of Huddersfield The 2008 Magic Weekend saw another 70+ point thriller, but this time it was Huddersfield and Warrington sharing a classic to open the event.The Wolves looked set for a fifth straight Super League defeat, finding themselves 22-6 down at half-time thanks to Huddersfield tries from Michael Lawrence, Luke Robinson, Andy Raleigh and Rod Jensen.After the break, Jensen could have put his side further in front, but dropped the ball with the line beckoning.Cue the Warrington comeback. Four tries in 18 minutes, from Stuart Reardon, Lee Briers and two from Andy Bracek got them in front before another fine individual Briers effort earned the Wolves the two points.2010 - Leeds 34-30 Wakefield Ryan Hall scored in the famous Leeds comeback A move to Edinburgh brought seeded games for the Magic Weekend, but that didn’t stop West Yorkshire rivals Leeds and Wakefield serving up a Murrayfield epic in 2010.John Kear’s side took a chilly Scotland by storm and they certainly caught Leeds cold in the first half. Ben Jeffries and Damien Blanch went over early on, before a host of errors from Leeds handed Wakefield further initiative as they took a commanding 28-10 lead.Leeds struck a late first half blow, Ryan Hall going over in the corner before Chris Clarkson scored just after break. Despite a Jeffries penalty, Leeds took control, Ryan Hall crossing for his second to further close the gap.With just two minutes left on the clock, they completed the comeback, Keith Senior’s break allowing Brent Webb to send over veteran Aussie Danny Buderus for the match winning score.2011 - St Helens 16-16 Wigan When is Magic Weekend on Sky? Magic Weekend is back at St James Park and there are a host of ways to watch it live on Sky Sports. Back to Cardiff for the 2011 version and one of rugby league’s tastiest derbies finally delivered a Magic Weekend classic.It didn’t look that way with 65 minutes gone, though, with Wigan storming into a 16-0 lead, debutant Ryan Hoffman, Harrison Hansen and then George Carmont all going over. But the Saints, having had several tries disallowed, struck back.Jon Wilkin started the recovery, powering over from close range before Tony Puletua crossed soon after. And when Francis Meli went over in the corner, Jamie Foster had the chance to win it but pulled his conversion wide.Both sides threatened last-gasp drama, Sam Tomkins and Kyle Eastmond missing late drop goals, so all square they finished at 16-all.2011 - Bradford 28-32 LeedsAny fan who stayed for both days in 2011 certainly got value for money. After the Lancashire ding-dong on Saturday, it was Leeds and Bradford’s turn in Sunday’s closer.With previous Magic Weekend history between the pair, there was soon another chapter to add. Mick Potter’s side put in a terrific performance, building a 28-10 lead with 20 minutes left, mainly thanks to Elliott Whitehead’s hat-trick. But Leeds, in what was now their customary Magic Weekend comeback, rallied and upped the tempo.Ben Jones-Bishop scored his second while Kylie Leuluai and Rob Burrow also went over. With Bradford leading 28-26, there was still another twist to come.Two minutes left and Jones-Bishop raced down the wing, sensing a hat-trick opportunity. He fly-hacked through, only to be pulled back by opposite number Gareth Raynor. Upstairs it went and Richard Silverwood took an age to settle the game. But T-R-Y he chose and yet again Leeds snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.2012 – Hull FC 30-32 Hull KR Shannon McDonnell (centre) of Hull KR runs at Tony Martin (left) and Richard Horne (right) of Hull The Hull derby was a regular Magic Weekend highlight, with the two sides playing out some memorable matches. but with Manchester the new setting, the two sets of fans hadn’t seen anything until 2012.A tight first-half saw the Airlie Birds lead 18-12, Brett Seymour, Richard Horne and Willie Manu going in for the black-and-whites while Craig Hall and Shannon McDonnell went over for the Robins.Hull FC extended that lead after the break, Tony Martin crashing over and when Jordan Turner collected Seymour’s kick, the job seemed complete.But Hull KR weren’t in the mood for rolling over as Sam Latus went over first, before Michael Dobson’s converted try got them to within two.With seconds remaining, the points were snatched thanks to a truly special effort. David Hodgson got the ball on his own 30, beat two defenders and raced clear, sending the red-and-white faithful into delirium while FC set off on a miserable trip back up the M62.2012 - Huddersfield 34-38 Salford Adam Sidlow celebrates scoring a try for Salford After the dramatic Saturday events, a few of the more bleary-eyed supporters were treated to a 13-try belter from Huddersfield and Salford, the perfect Sunday hangover cure.Salford hadn’t won in six Super League games, but they edged a bruising first half 22-16, thanks to a Joel Moon double and scores from Sean Gleeson and Jodie Broughton.Two close-range tries from Eorl Crabtree ensured the Giants hit the front but another Broughton effort and a brace from Adam Sidlow gave Salford that 38-34 lead.Late on, Jason Chan broke the line and went clear for the Giants, but his pass went loose and Salford could finally celebrate a memorable victory.2013 - Hull FC 22-16 Hull KRBack in Manchester for 2013 and the Hull fans were hoping for a more relaxed day out than the year before. But nobody could prepare them for what was to come. Magic Moments Super League: The top 10 Magic Weekend moments Hull KR led 10-6 at the break, Greg Eden and Craig Hall cancelling out Richard Whiting’s score. With eight minutes left, Rovers led by 10. A Michael Dobson penalty and an Alex Brown score seemed to have secured the win, but this time it was Hull FC who mustered the comeback spirit.Tom Lineham was first to cross before Kirk Yeaman went over for a try, eventually approved by the video referee. Daniel Holdsworth had the chance to win it there and then with the conversion, but he fired wide and a draw seemed the likely result.But Holdsworth then had a say in the game’s defining moment, his high ball misjudged by Eden. Chris Green collected on the bounce and dived over gleefully, and despite replays showing he was offside, the try was awarded, ensuring Hull FC’s revenge was complete.Watch the Magic Weekend live on Sky Sports 3 HD and Sky Sports 1 HD.

WACO, Texas -- Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty was able to smile even after talking about what an ugly game it was for the Bears offence. Maybe now people will start to believe the fifth-ranked Bears are really good. Theyre still undefeated after a 41-12 victory over 12th-ranked Oklahoma on Thursday night in their first big test of the season. "Were just talented, man. Were committed. I think thats all you can say about it," Petty said. "Its a very special team." Baylor (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) scored twice in the final minute before halftime and stretched its school-record winning streak to 12 games since a loss at Oklahoma last November. The Bears are 8-0 for the first time. Even though Baylor came in leading the nation in scoring (64 points per game) and total offence (718 yards per game) -- and was outscoring opponents by an average margin of 48 points -- many questioned how good the Bears were after getting into November without playing a ranked opponent. They have now, and they responded with an impressive victory against a team that used to routinely overwhelm them. And they did it without scoring a touchdown in the first quarter for the first time during their winning streak. "We didnt really feel like us the first quarter and a half of the game, but that has a lot to do with who youre playing," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "We were playing a team with good tradition, and tradition doesnt die easily." Petty threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more, and third-string running back Shock Linwood ran for 182 yards. Oklahoma (7-2, 4-2) has a 21-2 lead in the series, but both losses have come in its last two trips to Floyd Casey Stadium for prime-time games. "Everyone talks about their offence, which is really good," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "But I knew that their defence is really good with all the seniors that they have." Running backs Lache Seastrunk and Glasco Martin got banged up in the game, so Linwood ran 23 times. The Bears also were missing top receiver Tevin Reese, who was without a catch before dislocating his right wrist. He spent the second half on the sideline with his arm in a sling, and Briles said afterward he hopes Reese could be back for a bowl game. "To come out with the win even though it was ugly was good for us," Petty said. Baylor trailed 5-3 after a strange sequence that started at the end of the first quarter when the Bears were penalized 38 yards on one play, and had a players ejection overturned before he made a touchdown-saving play. After Petty scored on a 1-yard keeper with a minute to go in the first half, Oklahoma gave the ball right back when Blake Bell threw an interception right into the arms of linebacker Eddie Lackey at the SSooners 38.dddddddddddd Petty ran 14 yards on third-and-10 before a double-pump throw to Antwan Goodley, whose Big 12-leading ninth TD catch was a spectacular grab with both arms fully extended. He held on for a 24-yard play that put the Bears up 24-5 at halftime. "I dont want to say we got tired, but you could tell that stuff was taking a toll on us because we kept going back out there. It showed in our play when we went back out there on the field," Sooners linebacker Frank Shannon said. "It was real frustrating, but were a team so weve got to put that behind us." Goodley made it 10 touchdown receptions he had a 25-yard catch with 9 minutes left in the game. He finished with six catches for 80 yards. Petty completed 13 of 26 passes for a season-low 204 yards. He ran 16 times for 45 yards. Bell finished 15-of-35 passing for 150 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Oklahoma had 237 total yards. The Bears are 5-0 at home against Top 25 teams since the start of the 2011 season. That includes a 45-38 win over the Sooners two years ago in a game that likely clinched the Heisman Trophy for Robert Griffin III, and 52-24 last November over Kansas State, which arrived in Waco as the No. 1 team in the BCS standings. Baylor got penalized 38 yards on one play late in the first quarter, including a targeting penalty and two flags for unsportsmanlike conduct, setting up Oklahoma at the 7. The Sooners failed to score when Bell was tackled for a 1-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 1 by cornerback K.J. Morton, who had been called for targeting only a few plays earlier. Morton was flagged after a vicious hit on Sterling Shepard that knocked the ball loose and laid out the receiver. Officials reviewed the play and determined it was a shoulder-to-shoulder hit, overturning Mortons ejection and keeping him in the game. But the penalty still stood, and there was extra yardage tacked on for the calls against cornerback Ahmad Dixon for unnecessary roughness and then taking his helmet off while on the field. "I was amped up at the beginning of the game," Dixon said. Two plays after Bell was stopped on fourth down, Petty was sacked in the end zone by Dominique Alexander for a safety. Jalen Saunders then returned the free kick 55 yards to the Baylor 12, though the Sooners had to settle for Michael Hunnicutts 22-yard field goal. Baylor went ahead to stay wen Petty ran 5 yards for a score to make it 10-5, a drive that started with Linwood gaining 20 yards on his first carry. Oklahoma finally got in the end zone when Bell threw a 10-yard TD pass to Roy Finch on a fourth-and-3 play with 3:20 left in the third quarter. "Defensively, I thought we were extremely potent all through the game," Briles said. ' ' '
