Jake Webster's late try helped Castleford end a three-game losing streak with a thrilling victory against West Yorkshire rivals Leeds.
Tigers, having trailed at the break, edged a see-sawing game with the only points of the second half coming from Webster's burst and Luke Gale's goal.
Andy Lynch and Webster had given the Tigers a 12-0 lead inside 13 minutes.
Joel Moon, Kallum Watkins and Tom Briscoe all crossed in reply, but Liam Sutcliffe's two missed goals were key.
Friday 25th March
Hull KR 20-22 Hull FC
Hull FC came back from 20 points down in the second half to secure a dramatic win in the derby at Hull KR.
Rovers wing Ryan Shaw opened the scoring and Ken Sio's interception try and Josh Mantellato's two goals gave the hosts a 12-0 half-time lead.
Iain Thornley's score looked to put Rovers in control but Jamie Shaul and Danny Houghton gave Hull FC hope.
The Black and Whites crossed through Mahe Fonua and Steve Michaels as they completed a stunning late comeback.
Salford Red Devils 12-26 Catalans Dragons
Catalans Dragons maintained their improved Super League away form this season by winning at Salford.
The Dragons led 12-4 at the break after scores from Tony Gigot and Eloi Pellissier either side of George Griffin's unconverted try for Salford.
After the first of Dave Taylor's two tries, home winger Greg Johnson then crossed twice in six minutes.
But they too went unconverted, while Pat Richards improved Taylor's second late try for his fifth kick of the day.
Wakefield Wildcats 36-22 Huddersfield Giants
Wakefield recorded their second victory of the season to leave Huddersfield bottom of the Super League table.
Jermaine McGillvary put Giants ahead, before Wildcats opened up an 18-6 lead through Tom Johnstone, Michael Sio and Reece Lyne.
Two Jake Connor tries and a Danny Brough penalty tied the scores before Max Jowitt put Wakefield back in front.
Aaron Murphy replied but Johnstone and Nick Scruton went over to hand Wildcats head coach Chris Chester his first win.
Chester, who was appointed following Brian Smith's resignation, took charge of his first home game with his side having lost 22-4 away at Hull FC last week.
But it was joint-bottom side Huddersfield who began the brighter as Leroy Cudjoe found McGilvary on the wing and Brough converted.
Wildcats produced a stirring response as they crossed the whitewash three times only to be pegged back.
Jowitt's superb sidestep gave Wakefield the advantage as the game became scrappy and both Huddersfield's Larne Patrick and the hosts' Mickael Simon were sent to the sin-bin.
Giants replied through Murphy, but Brough missed the conversion to draw his side level and Johnstone and Scruton claimed the victory for the Wildcats.
The defeat means Huddersfield, who reached the Super League semi-finals last season, sit bottom of the table having recorded just one win all season.
Warrington Wolves 28-10 Widnes Vikings
Warrington had to come from behind as they won the top-of-the-table battle with Super League neighbours Widnes.
Widnes led 10-0 after 23 minutes following tries from scrum-half Tom Gilmore and full-back Rhys Hanbury.
But two tries in as many minutes from scrum-half Chris Sandow and winger Tom Lineham, helped by a Kurt Gidley penalty made it 10-10 at the break.
Gidley, Ryan Atkins and Ben Currie then all scored after the break to help Wire displace Widnes at the top.
Two of the tries came in the final 12 minutes to give Warrington a flattering winning margin in front of a record 15,008 crowd at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Gidley landed all three second-half conversions to complete a 12-point individual haul as the Wolves stretched their 100% record this season to seven games - Wire's best start to a season since the 1950s.
Widnes, crucially missing captain Kevin Brown, as well as centre Charly Runciman and forward Hep Cahill, suffered only their second defeat in eight matches.
St Helens 12-24 Wigan Warriors
Wigan Warriors cruised to derby victory at St Helens for the first time since April 2014 with a dominant four-try Super League display.
The Warriors held the home side out for an hour, racking up points through Dom Manfredi, Sam Powell and Joel Tomkins tries in the first half.
Joe Greenwood's score gave Saints a glimmer of hope, but Matty Smith's try restored Wigan's advantage.
Theo Fages' score came too late as Saints crashed to defeat.
The rocking atmosphere and Saints optimism was gradually subdued by Wigan's suffocating defence, while the intensity boiled over in sporadic bursts such as Tomkins' hit on Kyle Amor in the opening half.
Shaun Wane's Warriors had their proud home record ended by Widnes last time out despite leading for long periods, but showed their defensive mettle to hold on to the advantage here.
Manfredi scored the opening try after Saints indiscipline coughed up a penalty, and the winger showed his worth again soon after with a skittling run that created the platform for Powell's solo effort.
Tomkins' score before half-time tightened the visitors' grip and the deficit might have been bigger if Oliver Gildart's try had not been chalked off for a ball steal.
Saints were desperate to get on the scoresheet and were rewarded when Fages' put Greenwood over with a short-ball.
Smith's score looked to have settled it but Fages' try late on kept nerves jangling slightly before the hooter finally buzzed to give Wigan the points.
Monday 28th March
Hull FC 26-24 Warrington Wolves
Hull FC ended Warrington's unbeaten start to the 2016 season with victory over the Super League leaders.
Marc Sneyd put Hull FC ahead before Ryan Atkins and Tom Lineham replied.
Jamie Shaul drew the home side level but Kevin Penny and Chris Sandow gave the Wire a 10-point lead at the break.
Curtis Naughton and Shaul put Hull FC back ahead but the lead changed hands twice more as former Airlie Bird Lineham crashed over for a second time before Naughton gave Hull FC victory.
Warrington, who beat Widnes 28-10 on Friday to top the table, had won their first seven games of the campaign but Hull FC, buoyed by their 22-20 victory over rivals Hull KR, once again staged a second-half comeback to earn a second victory during the Easter weekend.
With Warrington leading 20-10 at the interval, the home side grabbed two quick tries after the break to lead 22-20.
Lineham looked to have spoiled the party on his return to the KC Stadium with his second of the afternoon, but Naughton crossed the whitewash with five minutes left on the clock and Hull FC held on for the victory.
Lee Radford's side are fourth, four points behind Warrington.
Leeds Rhinos 16-20 Wakefield Wildcats
Wakefield secured their second Super League win of the weekend with victory at struggling champions Leeds.
The visitors took the lead through Matty Ashurst but Leeds worked their way back through Joel Moon.
A Liam Finn penalty made it 8-6 to Wildcats at the break and Jacob Miller extended their lead shortly afterwards.
Tom Briscoe and Mitch Achurch replied for Leeds but Finn's penalty and Craig Hall's 80-metre effort secured their first victory at Headingley since 2007.
Rhinos, following their sixth defeat in eight league games, fall behind Wakefield into 10th position in the table.
The Wildcats went into the game buoyed by Friday's win over Huddersfield, while Leeds were looking to make amends for their narrow defeat away at Castleford.
Wakefield broke the deadlock when Miller put Ashurst through a huge hole 15 metres from the Rhinos line, but Moon scooped up the loose ball from Zak Hardaker's grubber kick to reply under the posts.
Miller benefitted from Tom Johnstone's offload to stretch Wakefield's lead, but it did not last long as the visitors allowed a high Hardaker kick to bounce and Briscoe touched down in the corner.
The game appeared to take decisive turn in the 64th minute when Wakefield hooker Scott Moore was sin-binned for offside and Leeds forward Achurch jinked his way over against 12 men, before Liam Sutcliffe converted to put the Rhinos in front for the first time.
Wakefield got back on level terms when Finn slotted over a simple penalty and Hall pounced on a dropped ball by Ash Handley two minutes from time to end Wildcats' 10-game losing streak at Headingley.
Widnes Vikings 12-20 St Helens
St Helens sent early pacesetters Widnes to a second successive Super League defeat and a first home loss of 2016.
The Vikings began the Easter programme top of the table, but followed Friday's defeat at Warrington with another loss to another of their local rivals.
Tries by Joe Greenwood, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Tommy Makinson gave Saints a 16-6 lead at half-time.
Rhys Hanbury scored all 12 points for Widnes, including two tries, but Saints survived a late flurry to earn victory.
Widnes stay two points behind leaders Warrington, who saw their 100% start ended by Hull FC on Monday, and the Vikings will drop to third unless Wigan lose to Hull KR in Monday's late kick-off.
St Helens, the 2014 champions, are two points further behind in fifth after bouncing back positively from their derby defeat by Wigan on Good Friday.
Greenwood's fourth try in four games gave them a perfect start and, although Widnes drew level shortly afterwards through full-back Hanbury, they struggled to create meaningful attacking opportunities until the final 10 minutes.
There were also not helped by the loss of forward Hep Cahill to an injury which prevented him featuring after half-time.
Having added the extras to two of Saints' tries and kicking two further penalties, Saints scrum-half Luke Walsh made a try-saving tackle to deny Corey Thompson a score with 13 minutes to play.
His intervention would prove crucial as Hanbury's second try sparked Widnes and raised hopes of a comeback, but the visitors held on for their fifth win of the campaign.
Huddersfield Giants 24-26 Salford Red Devils
Late tries from Justin Carney and Niall Evalds earned Salford Red Devils victory at struggling Huddersfield, who remain bottom of Super League.
The Giants have won only one of their eight games this season.
A brace of tries from Ukuma Ta'ai, plus further scores from Jake Connor and Jermaine McGillvary, established a 24-18 lead with 12 minutes to play.
But Carney and Evalds both crossed in a three-minute spell late on to secure a fourth win of 2016 for Salford.
Former Giants prop Craig Kopczak had given Salford an early lead and Gareth O'Brien added another for the Red Devils, only to trail 12-10 at half-time after tries by Ta'ai and Connor.
Josh Griffin's score restored Salford's advantage, but a second for Ta'ai and McGillvary's effort looked to have earned a second Super League victory of the season for Paul Anderson's men, but the visitors snatched victory in the closing stages.
Catalans Dragons 41-22 Castleford Tigers
Todd Carney and Morgan Escare both scored two tries as Catalans Dragons comfortably beat Castleford Tigers.
The French side crossed four times to lead 22-16 at the interval, though a first-half double from young centre Greg Minikin kept Castleford in touch.
Joel Monaghan also crossed twice but Catalans ran out comfortable winners.
Jodie Broughton, Louis Anderson and Paul Aiton also touched down for the hosts, who are four points behind Super League leaders Warrington.
Despite their convincing defeat, Castleford could take heart from the form of Minikin, who scored his first two Super League tries the day before his 21st birthday.
Escare's second try was the highlight of Catalans' display, the full-back jinking his way to the line from 30 metres out to help put the result beyond doubt, while he also kicked a late drop-goal.
Wigan Warriors 30-16 Hull KR
Josh Charnley scored a second-half hat-trick as Wigan hit back in style to beat Hull KR and move level on points with Super League leaders Warrington.
Lewis Tierney ran through to put Wigan ahead but Hull KR responded with two tries in three minutes through Graeme Horne and Iain Thornley to lead 10-4.
Charnley raced the length of the pitch for the first of two quick tries that re-established Wigan's advantage.
And although Thornley replied, a barnstorming finish secured a home win.
Former Wigan man Thornley's second try, following a brilliant pass by the impressive Maurice Blair, helped put a spirited Rovers side back in front at 16-14.
But the hosts pressed relentlessly and finally wore down a stubborn away side, who had lost seven of their previous eight league matches.
Dom Manfredi went over in the corner with 14 minutes left after a fine offload from Anthony Gelling.
Oliver Gildart made the points safe from Sean O'Loughlin's burst and Charnley, who also landed three kicks, wrapped up the win with his second long-range run to the line in the 77th minute.
Jake Webster's late try helped Castleford end a three-game losing streak with a thrilling victory against West Yorkshire rivals Leeds.
Tigers, having trailed at the break, edged a see-sawing game with the only points of the second half coming from Webster's burst and Luke Gale's goal.
