Wigan Warriors 40–24 St Helens — Elimination Semi-Final, 2003 Super League Finals Series

Elimination Semi-Final, 2003 Super League finals series: Wigan Warriors 40–24 St Helens, at JJB Stadium, Wigan on 3 Oct 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 and no suspicious sequential index, so no re-fetch was needed. Wigan's starting thirteen and bench were unchanged, player-for-player and number-for-number, from its Elimination Playoff appearance against Warrington the week before — a clean cross-match confirmation. St Helens' starting thirteen carried over from its own Elimination Playoff the week before with the two changes already noted there (Anthony Stewart in at Wing, Mark Edmondson to Prop, Chris Joynt to bench), giving good confidence in the numbers recorded for both teams. Darren Smith's brace and Keiron Cunningham's and Paul Newlove's tries directly corroborate their listed shirt numbers and positions. No duplicate or missing shirt numbers were encountered. Coaches reused from this backlog's own already-established findings earlier this round: Mike Gregory (Wigan) and Ian Millward (St Helens).
