Sydney Roosters 28–18 Canterbury-Bankstown — Preliminary Final, 2003 NRL Finals Series

Preliminary Final, 2003 NRL finals series: Sydney Roosters 28–18 Canterbury-Bankstown, at Sydney Football Stadium, Moore Park, Sydney, NSW on 27 Sep 2003.

Sourcing caveat: No try-scoring minutes were found for this fixture. Sydney's total of 4 tries (16 points) plus 28 points requires 6 successful kicks worth 12 points combined between Craig Fitzgibbon (5) and Michael Crocker (1) — arithmetic requires 4 conversions and 2 penalty goals in total, but the source did not indicate which specific kicks were conversions versus penalty goals, or which kicker took which type, so no per-kick assignment is asserted here. The source's positional labelling for this specific match also showed an apparent conflict (both Brett Finch and Craig Wing appearing to be listed near the halfback/hooker slots); the lineup below follows the position assignment consistent with every other 2003 finals fixture for this squad (Finch at halfback, Wing at hooker) rather than the ambiguous raw label, and this resolution is flagged rather than silently applied.
