Leeds Rhinos 16–23 Castleford Tigers — Elimination Semi-Final, 1999 Super League Finals Series

Elimination Semi-Final, 1999 Super League finals series: Leeds Rhinos 16–23 Castleford Tigers, at Headingley, Leeds on 24 Sep 1999.

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/3304). Both lineups fetched cleanly with real, varied squad numbers and complete 4-player benches on the first pass. Leeds' core (Harris, Senior, Godden, Cummins, Powell, Sheridan, Masella, Morley, Farrell, Glanville) cross-matched cleanly against its Qualifying Final appearance a week earlier, with ordinary week-to-week rotation in the other slots (Sterling starts on the wing here in place of Rivett; Speak starts at Hooker with Jackson dropping to the bench; Fleary starts at Prop with McDermott dropping to the bench). Castleford's full 17-man squad recurred number-for-number and unchanged from the Elimination Final three days earlier, the strongest possible cross-match confirmation. Coaches reused from this round's already-confirmed findings: Graham Murray (Leeds Rhinos) and Stuart Raper (Castleford Tigers).
