Sourcing caveat: Individual try minutes were not confirmed across sources and are omitted rather than guessed at. Lineups sourced this round from Rugby League Project's per-match page (rugbyleagueproject.org/matches/3303). Both lineups fetched cleanly with real, varied squad numbers and complete 4-player benches on the first pass — no position-order or dropped-row issues encountered on this match page. Coaches confirmed via web search: Andy Goodway (Wigan Warriors — confirmed both directly on the source match page and independently via a Wikipedia history-of-the-club article stating Goodway was sacked by Wigan in November 1999, after this September match, with Frank Endacott — used throughout 13bf's 2000 entries — not arriving until after the 1999 season ended) and Stuart Raper (Castleford Tigers — reused from 13bf's already-established April 1997-late 2001 tenure).
