2004 Super League — Final Ladder
Leeds Rhinos won the League Leaders' Shield by a 9-point margin over Bradford Bulls, then went on to win their first-ever Super League Grand Final title, beating Bradford 16-8 at Old Trafford.
Sourcing caveat: No salary-cap or administration point deductions applied to any club in 2004. Widnes Vikings' 28-game record (7-0-21, 14 pts) was independently corroborated after an initial extraction produced a conflicting 29-game figure; 28 games is correct and consistent with every other club's round count that season.
