Preliminary Semi-Final, 2014 Super League finals series: Castleford Tigers 14–30 Warrington Wolves, at The Jungle, Castleford on 25 Sep 2014.
Sourcing caveat: One AI-summarized source pass claimed a 75th-minute sin bin for Warrington's Rhys Evans, but this isn't corroborated by Rugby League Project's disciplinary record — treated as unconfirmed and omitted. Individual try minutes were not confirmed across sources either and are omitted rather than guessed at. As with the earlier St Helens v Castleford entry, Castleford's and Warrington's jersey numbers here needed correcting against each club's official 2014 squad-number release — Rugby League Project's own page attached Castleford's bench numbers (2, 9, 11) to the wrong starting players (James Clare, Daryl Clark, Oliver Holmes), and gave Warrington's Stefan Ratchford as "1" instead of his official 6 (a likely mix-up with fullback deputy Matthew Russell's own number).
