Hull FC 20–24 St Helens — Elimination Semi-Final, 2001 Super League Finals Series

Elimination Semi-Final, 2001 Super League finals series: Hull FC 20–24 St Helens, at The Boulevard, Hull on 28 Sep 2001.

Sourcing caveat: Referee and full try/goal-kicker detail for this match could not be confirmed from reliable sources within this research pass. Reported as an open gap rather than an unverified guess. Lineups sourced this round from Rugby League Project's per-match page (rugbyleagueproject.org/matches/7727). Hull FC's bench prints only 3 of 4 names on this page (Steve Craven, Lee Jackson, Richard Fletcher) — confirmed via a targeted re-fetch as a genuine source-side gap, not a fetch artifact, the second such gap encountered this round after Wigan's Qualifying Final bench. Hull's starting thirteen rotated sensibly from its Qualifying Final appearance the week before (Logan Campbell (23) and Deon Bird (4) moving from bench into the Centres, Richard Horne (6) shifting from Centre to Halfback, Tony Grimaldi (12) moving from Second Row to Lock in place of Jason Smith, who drops out of the 17 entirely), giving good confidence in the numbers via cross-match with the earlier match. St Helens' lineup here also directly corroborates that the Elimination Final's Cunningham/Higham positional swap (this round, match 2) was a genuine one-off: Keiron Cunningham (9) is back at Hooker here with Tim Jonkers (15) at Lock, the club's normal arrangement seen throughout the rest of this file. Coaches confirmed via web search: Shaun McRae (Hull FC — reused from this round's Qualifying Final finding) and Ian Millward (St Helens — reused from this backlog's already-established tenure).
