Elimination Play-off, 2007 Super League finals series: Hull FC 22–16 Huddersfield Giants, at KC Stadium, Hull on 22 Sep 2007.
Sourcing caveat: Hull FC's listed try-scorer (Gareth Raynor, credited with 2 tries) plus 3 goals total only 14 points, short of the actual 22-point score — confirmed this is a gap in Rugby League Project's own scoresheet for this match (its own table lists only Raynor's double and Tickle's 3/5 goal-kicking, nothing further), not a transcription error on this site's part. A second independent source for this match's scorer detail could not be located. Both lineups fetched cleanly with real, varied squad numbers rather than a position-order index (e.g. Hull FC's Motu Tony at 14 (Fullback), Huddersfield's Chris Thorman at 6 (Fullback)); Hull FC's numbering here cross-matched exactly, unchanged, against this club's Elimination Semi-Final appearance the following week. Coaches confirmed via web search: Peter Sharp (Hull FC, Wikipedia confirms his April 2006 - 2008 Hull FC tenure spanning this match) and Jon Sharp (Huddersfield, Rugby League Project's own coaching-career page explicitly confirms his 2007-season Huddersfield record).
