Elimination Semi-Final, 2007 Super League finals series: Hull FC 18–21 Wigan Warriors, at KC Stadium, Hull on 29 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 18-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 3/4 goal-kicking, nothing further), not a transcription error on this site's part. Wigan's Mark Calderwood was sin-binned for 10 minutes, but no minute was confirmed for the incident. Both lineups fetched cleanly with real squad numbers; Hull FC's numbering (bar one change, Danny Washbrook moving from bench to starting Five-Eighth in place of Richard Horne, who shifted to Halfback) and Wigan's numbering both cross-matched exactly, unchanged, with this round's Elimination Playoff a week earlier. Coaches (Peter Sharp and Brian Noble) reused from the already-established Elimination Playoff sourcing for consistency.
