Qualifying Play-off, 2013 Super League finals series: Warrington Wolves 40–20 Leeds Rhinos, at Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington on 14 Sep 2013.
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 1-13 lineup, and Leeds' fetch had internal number clashes (Kevin Sinfield shown at 6, Rob Burrow at 9); a targeted re-fetch with an explicit "transcribe literally" instruction, together with Warrington's official 2013 squad-number release, produced numbers matching both clubs exactly. Warrington's names here (and in this club's other two 2013 finals appearances below) were also standardized against the fuller, previously-verified 2013 Grand Final entry in `super_league_grand_finals.py` after an initial draft mismatched several first names.
