Elimination Play-off, 2010 Super League finals series: Huddersfield Giants 18–12 Crusaders, at Galpharm Stadium, Huddersfield on 11 Sep 2010.
Sourcing caveat: Individual try minutes were not confirmed across sources and are omitted rather than guessed at. Huddersfield's Graeme Horne and Stephen Wild are both shown wearing number 13 on Rugby League Project's own page for this match — re-checked twice, and the same duplicate recurs identically on an unrelated Huddersfield regular-season match page, confirming it's a genuine, recurring source issue rather than a one-off fetch artifact. Wild's 13 is independently confirmed clean (no duplicate) in this backlog's other 2010 Huddersfield entries where Horne didn't play, so Wild keeps 13 here and Horne's number is recorded as `"UNCONFIRMED"`.
