DRAW 20/1
The opening game on Sunday sees the Catalans Dragons take on the Huddersfield Giants in something of a bottom half clash.
The Giants have long been a team at the top end of Super League, but a rock bottom finish last season has continued this term with the West Yorkshire outfit winning just three of the opening 13 games of the season.
Catalans haven't fared much better with just 11 points form their opening 13 games, and arrive in Newcastle on a three-match winless run.
They are also yet to win at Magic Weekend in Newcastle, drawing 22-22 with Huddersfield in 2015, and then narrowly losing out 25-24 to

Wakefield just 12 months ago. So expect something of a classic when it comes to Catalans and St James' Park.
However, the Giants love this weekend, and are only bettered by the Wigan Warriors when it comes to picking up points on Magic Weekend. They've won 10 of their six ties, and are so far unbeaten on two trips to Newcastle.
It promises to be an intriguing tie, and one that is sure to get Sunday off to a flying start, with Huddersfield looking the value bet based on their form on Tyneside.
