Elimination Final, 2006 Super League finals series: Hull FC 19–12 Bradford Bulls, at KC Stadium, Hull on 6 Oct 2006.
Sourcing caveat: Bradford's second try-scorer (Jamie Langley, alongside the already-confirmed Brett Ferres) was resolved by fetching the match's own cited primary-source URL (rugbyleagueproject.org/matches/6968) directly rather than guessing at a round/team-slug URL — two earlier guessed-URL fetches in prior sessions returned an unrelated Hull-Bradford fixture (28-12, with scorers Karl Pryce and Michael Withers) and were correctly discarded as contradictory rather than applied; this correction now reconciles exactly to 12. Both lineups fetched cleanly with real squad numbers from that same primary-source page; Hull FC's starting thirteen cross-matched exactly, unchanged, with its Qualifying Semi-Final appearance a week earlier (bar one bench swap, Richard Whiting (6) for Chris Chester (17)). Bradford's starting thirteen is unchanged at ten of thirteen positions from its Elimination Semi-Final a week earlier, with one genuine, source-confirmed personnel change: Andy Lynch (14, Prop) dropped out of the twenty-one entirely, with Brad Meyers moving from Second Row to Prop (10) and Jamie Langley (16) coming into the starting Second Row in his place — directly consistent with Langley's try above. Coaches (Peter Sharp and Steve McNamara) reused from already-established sourcing for consistency.
