Preliminary Semi-Final, 2012 Super League finals series: Warrington Wolves 24–12 Hull FC, at Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington on 22 Sep 2012.
Sourcing caveat: Individual try minutes were not confirmed across sources and are omitted rather than guessed at. Warrington's original Rugby League Project fetch gave a suspicious sequential-looking set of numbers for several players (Ratchford as "3", Higham as "9", Hill as "10") that clashed with the same players' numbers in this club's other 2012 finals matches; a targeted "transcribe literally" re-fetch resolved this, matching Warrington's other appearances exactly. Hull FC fielded an unchanged 17 from their Elimination Play-off win the week before, confirmed identically across two independent fetches of this match.
