Wigan Warriors 40–12 Bradford Bulls — Preliminary Final, 2000 Super League Finals Series

Preliminary Final, 2000 Super League finals series: Wigan Warriors 40–12 Bradford Bulls, at JJB Stadium, Wigan on 7 Oct 2000.

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/7141). Both lineups fetched cleanly with real, varied squad numbers and complete 4-player benches on the first pass; the full arrangement — including Wigan's Five-Eighth/Lock pairing (Tony Smith at Five-Eighth, Andy Farrell at Lock, Chris Chester on the bench) — reverts to the normal pattern seen in this round's Qualifying Final, cross-confirming that the Qualifying Semi-Final's Farrell-at-Five-Eighth arrangement was a genuine one-match change rather than a source-side error. Bradford's squad numbers cross-match cleanly against its Qualifying Final and Elimination Semi-Final appearances earlier this round, with expected rotation (Mike Forshaw moving from Second Row to Lock in place of the now-absent Brad Mackay, and Stuart Fielden moving from Prop to Second Row).
