Qualifying Play-off, 2014 Super League finals series: St Helens 41–0 Castleford Tigers, at Langtree Park, St Helens on 19 Sep 2014.

Sourcing caveat: One AI-summarized source pass claimed a 63rd-minute sin bin for Castleford's Shenton, but this isn't corroborated by Rugby League Project's disciplinary record or Castleford's scoresheet (Shenton doesn't appear in this match's try list) — treated as unconfirmed and omitted. The 7-try, 41-point scoreline (28 pts from tries plus 6 goals plus a field goal = 41) is internally consistent, but individual try minutes were not confirmed and are omitted rather than guessed at. St Helens' and Castleford's jersey numbers here were cross-checked against each club's official 2014 preseason squad-number release after Rugby League Project's own page repeatedly mixed up which of two groups of players (starters vs bench) each number belonged to for both clubs — the starting-13/bench player identities themselves were not in doubt, only which numbers attached to which group; resolved using the official lists (e.g. Paul Wellens 17, not 1; James Clare 24, not 2; Daryl Clark 14, not 9).
