2013 Super League — Final Ladder
Huddersfield Giants won the League Leaders' Shield, their first time finishing top since 1932, but lost their Qualifying Play-off to Wigan Warriors, who went on to win the Grand Final for their first Super League title since 2010. This was the last 14-club season before Bradford Bulls' points deduction and relegation the following year.
Sourcing caveat: Salford City Reds' competition points reflect a 2-point deduction (their raw record of 6 wins, 1 draw would otherwise total 13) imposed after fielding an illegal 14th player against Castleford Tigers on 27 April 2013 — the sanction was increased on appeal from an initial fine-only penalty. Bradford Bulls operated in 2013 under a probationary licence following their 2012 administration but received no points deduction that season; their much larger 6-point deduction and relegation came the following year (2014), not this one. Hull FC and Catalans Dragons finished level on 28 points (6th/7th), as did Bradford Bulls and Widnes Vikings on 22 points (9th/10th), both splits decided on points difference.
