St Helens 24–6 London Broncos — Elimination Play-off, 2003 Super League Finals Series

Elimination Play-off, 2003 Super League finals series: St Helens 24–6 London Broncos, at Knowsley Road, St Helens on 26 Sep 2003.

Sourcing caveat: Individual try minutes were not confirmed across sources and are omitted rather than guessed at. Both lineups fetched cleanly with real, varied squad numbers (e.g. St Helens' Willie Talau at 32 (Second Row); London's Joel Caine at 33 (Wing), Chris Thorman at 23 (Five-Eighth)) rather than a suspicious sequential 1-13 index, so no re-fetch was needed. Darren Smith's and Willie Talau's shirt numbers directly corroborate this match's own scorer credits (Smith's brace and Talau's try). St Helens' starting thirteen carried over with two clean changes into its Elimination Semi-Final the following week (Anthony Stewart in for Darren Albert at Wing, Mark Edmondson moving from bench to Prop in place of Chris Joynt, who dropped to the bench). No duplicate or missing shirt numbers were encountered for either team. Coaches confirmed via web search: Ian Millward (St Helens — his Wikipedia biography gives a tenure of March 2000 to his suspension and sacking in May 2005, fully covering this September 2003 match) and Tony Rea (London Broncos — Wikipedia's "2003 London Broncos season" article states "the club was coached by Tony Rea, competing in Super League VIII").
