1999 Super League — Final Ladder
Bradford Bulls finished top of the table, but St Helens won the Grand Final 8-6, their first Super League title. No League Leaders' Shield existed yet (introduced 2003).
Sourcing caveat: 14 clubs this season (up from 12 in 1998) — Wakefield Trinity Wildcats were promoted, and Gateshead Thunder joined as a new Super League club. No salary-cap or administration point deductions applied in 1999. Club names are period-correct: Hull's club was still "Hull Sharks" this season (reverting to "Hull FC" from 2000); Salford's club was still "Salford Reds"; Halifax's club was still "Halifax Blue Sox"; Huddersfield and Sheffield Eagles were still separate clubs, a season before their 2000-only merger. Ladder rows rest on a single source (Rugby League Project); Wikipedia's own table could not be independently extracted for a full second-source check.
