How about Manly v Wigan in the World Club Challenge in 1987
8-2 to Wigan and no tries.
Unbelelievably, there was also a Challenge Cup game the same year when there was a nil nil draw between Hull and Halifax.
Halifax won the replay with the mammoth scoreline of 4-3

I was at both of these games, they were really good tight matches. In the first the wind was horendous. At the time Hull had Gary Pearce kicking for them, he had a close to 90% conversion rate yet in this game missed about 4 penalties because of the wind. Twice the ball got half way to the posts and got blown back to where it started from.
In the replay Hull had a try disallowed in the corner, I still say O'Hara got the ball down. I remember the stewards at Elland road having to let loads of Hull fans into the main stand rather than behind the posts as they'd underestimated just how many we'd bring. They were scared there would be another Hillsborough, it got a bit scary at one point till they started taking people out of the stand and moving them.
