Preliminary Final, 2001 Super League finals series: Wigan Warriors 44–10 St Helens, at JJB Stadium, Wigan on 6 Oct 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/7729). Both lineups fetched cleanly and completely (all 13 starters plus all 4 bench players for each side, no re-fetch needed). Wigan's starting thirteen and full bench were identical, number-for-number, to its Qualifying Final lineup 15 days earlier except one clean swap (Brett Dallas (2) starting at Wing in place of David Hodgson, who drops to the bench in place of Neil Cowie, with Chris Chester (19) coming into the vacated 4th bench slot) — the strongest confirmation this round that Wigan's recurring core numbers are correct. St Helens' lineup continued its sensible week-to-week rotation from the Elimination Semi-Final (Chris Joynt (11) moving from Second Row to Lock in place of Tim Jonkers, who drops to the bench; David Fairleigh (10) coming into the vacated prop starting slot; Mick Higham (24) returning to the bench). Coaches confirmed via web search: Stuart Raper (Wigan Warriors — reused from this round's Qualifying Final finding) and Ian Millward (St Helens — reused from this backlog's already-established tenure).
