Elimination Final, 2007 Super League finals series: Leeds Rhinos 36–6 Wigan Warriors, at Headingley Carnegie Stadium, Leeds on 5 Oct 2007.

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; Leeds' starting thirteen (Webb 1 through Sinfield 13) cross-matched exactly, unchanged, with this club's Qualifying Semi-Final appearance a week earlier, while its bench here (Ryan Bailey 16 in place of the previous week's Jordan Tansey 23) reflects a plausible, source-confirmed personnel change rather than a fetch discrepancy. Wigan started an unchanged front-line group from its Elimination Semi-Final win but rotated its back three (Colbon to Wing, Goulding into the centres, Vaealiki to Wing) and swapped Hock into the starting second row for Hansen, who moved to the bench — every individual player's own squad number stayed identical to the earlier matches even as their on-field slot changed, giving high confidence in the numbering. Coaches (Tony Smith and Brian Noble) reused from already-established sourcing for consistency.
