As Ice Cube once opined, 'today was a good day'. He obviously wasn't a Wigan or Hull KR fan then.

Not just any good day, it was a Good Friday and it lived up to the billing, a selection of rugby league games as tasty as any basket of high-quality chocolate eggs.

There was Salford's victory against Catalans, a 44-point draw between Leeds and Huddersfield and a Warrington success against Widnes in their own particular parochial rivalry.

The city of Hull came together in a nerve-shredding masterpiece edged by FC from the west of the city, before St Helens and Wigan capped off the day with a pulsating Super League encounter.

You know what's even better (for us not involved that is), we get to do it all again on Monday. Happy days. Happy Easter. Enjoy.

Here are the stories from today's Super League games.

• Hull FC beat city rivals Hull KR in the first derby of the season
• St Helens edged past a tough Wigan side in their derby, Danny Richardson playing a key role
• Salford continued Catalans' miserable start to the season with a third straight home win.
• In his first game as interim head coach Chris Thorman saw Huddersfield draw with Leeds.
• Warrington beat Widnes to continue their upturn in form under Steve Price.
• Castleford beat Wakefield on Thursday night to continue their winning run to five games.

Wigan half-back George Williams told BBC Radio 5 live:

"It was a great game to play in even though I was on the losing side.

"It is never nice losing a Good Friday derby. I thought we dominated the first 20 minutes but we gave away too many penalties.

"I thought we have pinched it in the second half but it was not to be."

St Helens half-back Danny Richardson told BBC Radio 5 live:

"Landing that conversion and drop-goal at the end is what I get paid to do and what I train for.

"There is nothing better than playing in front of these fans and getting a win like that.

"It was an amazing atmosphere, it was my first derby and I am loving every minute, especially after winning."

St Helens winger Regan Grace told BBC Radio 5 live:

"My try came off the back of everyone playing a part and I was in the right place at the right time.

"It was a typical Good Friday derby - everyone was giving everything and everyone wanted to win.

"I've never been involved in a game like the Good Friday derby. To make a bit of history with that try is amazing."

St Helens come out on top in a thriller of a derby against Wigan that swung back and forth throughout, only for the home side to grab the spoils late on.

It wasn't as frantically incident-packed as the Hull tussle but it was full-on tension from start to finish, a contest of two tough-as-teak teams.

St Helens showed glimpses of their class, as did Wigan, but the whole game was built around spirit and grit.

Saints deserve the win but Wigan deserve immense credit.

Now it's not. Danny Richardson sinks the drop-goal to a cresendo of noise around the Totally Wicked Stadium.

It has been pulsating, it has been grinding and nerve-shredding but now St Helens have done the job.

This will be a massive derby win, with about 90 seconds to go.

There might be some jangling nerves as we edge into the last five minutes, where drop goals become priceless.

Danny Richardson will fancy one. George Williams too. Sam Powell has a pop... MISSED!

Sean O'Loughlin hung on too long in a tackle on Morgan Knowles, and it's an easy two from Danny Richardson to level from the tee.

Eight to go.

St Helens have lost their earlier composure, flinging the ball about but without the quality they had in the first period.

Wigan have come thundering back, buoyed by the score. They can keep Saints at arms length.

What they can't afford to do is give away penalties, give Saints a chance to strike. They do have threats in waiting.

Wigan go for broke on the last and then the ball goes loose.

Oliver Gildart has a go out wide. Held-up. Then Willie Isa swoops on a ball and slides over. Is it good?

It finishes all square at Huddersfield where Ash Handley's late converted try earned Leeds a point.

Both sides missed drop-goal attempt in those dying seconds.

It's poised on a knife-edge this game.

Wigan are without Morgan Escare for the rest of the game after he failed a concussion test.

Meanwhile, Saints looked threatening a moment ago but failed to execute the play. Ben Barba flinging the pass slightly behind Regan Grace. He is human after all.

A memorable return to rugby league for Josh Charnley, who scored two tries on his Warrington debut after moving from Sale to help give his new side victory over Widnes.

Wigan made a hash of their last kick, ending up offside after a very shallow skyscraping bomb came down.

Saints in response go rushing forward. Beautifully threaded kick is tapped dead by the scrambling Liam Farrell. Actually, Robert Hicks has awarded Wigan a penalty instead.
