Since Magic Weekend Super League returned to Newcastle for 2025, there is no player as happy as Hull Kr’s resident Geordie Sam Luckley.
Luckley lived his dream in 2022, achieving Salford Red Devils under sticks in St. James and gave him a full celebration of Alan Shearer.
It was a moment that Luckley never thought he would get as he grew up in his hometown, watching Newcastle United, but one he took with both hands when he arrived.
After a year in Leeds, Magic Weekend returns to Newcastle for a record eighth time, and Luckley is ready to relive “one of the best days of his life” if he can score when Hull Bruk is taken over by Salford Red Devils, live on Sky Sports on Saturday 3 May.

Sam Luckley celebrated his attempt at St. James nod at the Newcastle Great Great Alan Shearer!
“I am delighted to have returned to Newcastle). Absolutely Zujam,” Luckley said Sky Sports.
“It was my childhood dream of playing here at St. James Park and I was lucky to do it many times.
“Each time, it’s getting better and better and I’ve marked it for a long time on my calendar.
“I guess it was one of the best days of my life. And I listed the ball for the game and gave it to my mom and told her to take her home and that’s in my closet.
“Scoring, then after the game collapsed to see my family and everyone cry. It means more than just for yourself.
“My mom and dad are Geordies and they come to football all the time, so it’s really for all of us.
“I was actually a good footballer, but I just got bigger and slower, so I’m glad I can play here in another sport, but I would never have assumed it would be a rugby league.”
While traveling to Newcastle is a significant weekend at Luckley’s calendar, with Hull Kr on the top of the table and does not look like a slowdown, he knows that all eyes will be in line with the work at hand when the weekend rolls.

“We are doing well in a minute. But for us, it is only a modest and keeping our feet on the ground,” Luckley added.
“It’s a long season and it’s a long year, so we can’t overcome it and start thinking about the finals and all such things.
“The ladder is so tight in a minute, each game is competitive.
“For us, this is a professional job and a business trip. We have to come here and perform and build on the performances we have had in the last few weeks.
“We’ll look for that.”
