Qualifying Semi-Final, 2019 Super League finals series: St Helens 40–10 Wigan Warriors, at Totally Wicked Stadium, St Helens on 27 Sep 2019.
Sourcing caveat: No referee name was identified in sources found. St Helens fielded Jonny Lomax at centre and Mark Percival at five-eighth for this match — an unusual positional swap from their normal roles, reported as found (Rugby League Project's own match page) rather than corrected by assumption. The same Marshall/French squad-number clash noted in the Qualifying Final entry recurs here — French's bench number is left unconfirmed rather than repeating Marshall's confirmed 17.
