The best finishers in the landpublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 30 May 2015
Widnes' Patrick Ah Van will need another couple of tries in the second half to get him on this list.
His two touchdowns in that first 40 minutes have taken him to nine tries for the season, with eight of those so far in Super League.
Later tonight, you can see if Wigan flyer Joe Burgess can extend his record at the top of the table when the Warriors face Leeds (19:00 BST).

BBC Sport at St. James' Park"Widnes look in total control but their players were business-like as they headed off the field.
"Salford players looked resigned, down to 12 and pretty much three scores behind.
"Both Hull sides looking relaxed on the field for their walkabouts during half-time, and a few phones out for pictures. Even these top players are pretty impressed by the St. James' Park setting."

So what have you made of the opening 40 minutes of the 2015 Magic Weekend?
Was Darrell Griffin's challenge deserving of a red card? Could Widnes cause a few shocks later in the campaign if they reach the top eight this season?
We'd love to hear your thoughts using #bbcrl on Twitter.

Former Salford forward Chris Charles on BBC Radio Manchester: "He acknowledged he'd done something wrong - it was obvious to everybody he'd hit his head. Was it that malicious? I'm not 100% sure."
A suggestion that Griffin may have said something out of turn to referee James Child - hopefully some clarification on that later on...
Half-timepublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 30 May 2015
Image source, Getty ImagesSalford are 14 points down and with only 12 men on the pitch, it looks a long way back for the Red Devils.
Denis Betts' Widnes side have really been impressive in that first 40 minutes, with captain Kevin Brown at the heart of everything.
Lacking their starting half-back pairing of Rangi Chase and Michael Dobson, Salford are looking a bit lost for direction at the minute.
RED CARDpublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 30 May 2015
Things going from bad to worse for Salford.
Widnes running the ball back with pace through youngster Matt Whitley and Darrell Griffin gets his tackle all wrong and catches him with a swinging right arm to the face.
He becomes the sixth man to be sent off at the Magic Weekend.

BBC Radio Merseyside"I don't see how Salford are going to get back into this. They're kicking aimlessly back downfield to Widnes, they're dropping it at every possible opportunity, and that's allowing Widnes to gather momentum."
TRYpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 30 May 2015
Image source, SWPIX.COMSumptuous bit of skill this by Kevin Brown.
Receiving the ball from Manase Manuokafoa from six yards out, Brown throws a huge dummy that fools both the Salford defenders in front of him and he dives in under posts.
Despite Salford opening the scoring, Widnes have now run in four unanswered tries and looking by far the better team right now.

It's fair to say it has not been a good few minutes for Salford.
They lose try scorer Cory Paterson when he gets caught with a stray elbow and goes off for a concussion check.
Moments later, prop Carl Forster tries to throw the ball out of the tackle and gets it all wrong to gift Widnes possession.

BBC Sport at St. James' Park"Manase Manuokafoa has given Widnes a bit more bop up top, although they didn't need much of it for that Patrick Ah Van try. Too easy.
"The crowd looks decent from here in the Milburn Stand - sizeable contingents in all stands. Both Hull clubs have arrived and are watching on with interest before their own heavyweight encounter."
Still to come later - the Hull derby at 16:45 BST and then Leeds v Wigan at 19:00 BST.

Two tries from Patrick Ah Van have put the Vikings in control against Salford in the first encounter of this year's Magic Weekend.
TRYpublished at 15:04 British Summer Time 30 May 2015
Image source, SWPIX.COMOne of the simplest tries you will see this weekend.
It all came from a high tackle by Salford's Josh Griffin and from the penalty Widnes get a in promising position on the left.
A quick dart by Aaron Heremaia, who was the recipient of Griffin's high shot, and back on the inside is that man Patrick Ah Van again to power through from a couple of yards with barely a tackle on him.

So close again for a rampaging Vikings side at the moment.
First Jack Owens' sprint down the right was stopped just short by Salford's Niall Evalds. They work the ball quickly and Joe Mellor's weighted grubber just has too much on it and drifts out of play.
Theo Fages then overcooks a kick under little pressure and Widnes have possession inside their own half again...

BBC Sport at St. James' Park"After a pretty ragged start, we've got a game. Both sides lacked a bit of shape in attack early on, and since then the proverbial pendulum hasn't stopped swinging.
"Cory Paterson has been an inspired signing for Salford, playing in centres, front row and today on the edge in the back row.
"One thing to note - despite the sunshine, the shadows are keeping it pretty cool at pitch level, which won't make it so tough on the big men up front."
TRYpublished at 14:55 British Summer Time 30 May 2015
Image source, SWPIX.COMAfter an inauspicious start, Widnes look like scoring every time they come forward now.
Black and white shirts are charging towards the line and, from short range, Danny Galea hits the line at speed and despite three Salford defenders, he is able to prod down.
