Bradford Bulls 71–0 Hull FC — Elimination Semi-Final, 2005 Super League Finals Series

Elimination Semi-Final, 2005 Super League finals series: Bradford Bulls 71–0 Hull FC, at Odsal Stadium, Bradford on 1 Oct 2005.

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. Bradford's starting thirteen cross-matched exactly, unchanged, with the club's Elimination Playoff appearance the previous week, save for two clean, plausible personnel changes: Michael Withers (6) came into the Fullback slot with Leon Pryce (3) shifting to the Wing, and Paul Deacon (7) started at Halfback in place of Robbie Hunter-Paul (1), who dropped to the bench — consistent with this match's own scorer list, which credits Deacon with 10/11 conversions. This same Bradford numbering then recurred identically, unchanged, across both of the club's remaining 2005 finals appearances (Elimination Final v St Helens, Grand Final v Leeds), a strong four-way cross-match overall. Hull FC's numbering also cross-matched almost exactly with the club's Elimination Playoff appearance the previous week, with one clean swap: Sione Faumuina (19) came into the Five-Eighth slot, with Richard Horne (6) moving to Halfback and Danny Brough (21, the previous week's Halfback) dropping out of this week's twenty-one-man squad entirely.
