Preliminary Semi-Final, 2010 Super League finals series: Warrington Wolves 22–34 Huddersfield Giants, at Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington on 18 Sep 2010.
Sourcing caveat: Individual try minutes were not confirmed across sources and are omitted rather than guessed at. Both teams' initial fetches mixed position-order numbers with real squad numbers; targeted "transcribe literally" re-fetches for each team resolved this. Stephen Wild's 13 (Huddersfield) is confirmed clean here with no duplicate, since Graeme Horne — whose number clashed with Wild's in the earlier Elimination Play-off — didn't play in this match.
