That would've been a try and goal prior to 1983.   There'll be loads of those.

The answer to the OP will almost certainly include a team scoring 1.

That brings back memories. Visibility was that bad we couldn't see far enough across the pitch to watch the try being scored. Horrible weather, horrible game, horrible journey too IIRC

And a week later we lost 4-2 to Oldham. Only Warrington could go two weeks in a row without conceding a try and lose both games!!

I remember Halifax beating Hull KR 4 -3, I think, in the CC semi final. If my memory serves me correct Halifax scored a late try from a kick to win it

We certainly did although it was the challange cup semi-final replay as the original at Headingley had finished in a 0-0 draw.

Any bids for 3-1 ?

Are we just talking about the top flight, professional, or all levels? I've seen a 1-0 in person in a SL academy game. I also know that 0-0 was reasonably common back when the sport was in its infancy.

I know that once upon a time in rugby a try wasn't actually worth any points at all. It was called a try because it allowed you to "try" to kick a goal. Although I believe that by the time of the Northern Union this had been dropped and tries were worth 3.

I'm going to go for 4-1, but it is purely a guess.

Hull v Halifax Challenge Cup semi in 1987/88 ended 0-0.

It was indeed.  After a 0-0 draw.   I was there.

But we're talking about a score that never happened.

Ever.

Hull played Halifax at Headingley and drew 0-0. The replay was at Elland Road and Halifax won 4-3. 1987/88.

You’ll remember it was Hull FC then

But both those scores are ruled out now.

Seen a 3-2, Dewsbury beating Hull KR with 12 men circa 1990. It was a thriller, too.

In my mind, I'm seeing Greg Mackey. Did he kick the drop goal?

And why do I remember it? Was it on TV?

KR 2 Barrow 1 as well I think. 1994 maybe?

 

EDIT - that finished 0-1!

I was at the replay but I was only young so i don’t remember lot’s about it. Think it was Tony Anderson who scored the winning try

Gary Pearce kicked the DG. Were  highlights on Sportsnight?

If it were a first division game, more likely to have been one of Granada's Saturday afternoon games.

[Mumby Magic]

I predicting something like 16-1 where a team has kicked a dg so they weren't nilled.

The Wire v Hull 2-3 was on the RL show in the Granada region only at the time. Can't remember what it was called but recordings of the game were much sought after in this part of the world.

It was the CC semi replay. The first game was live on Grandstand.

Memory is definitely blurry. But this Hull/Wire game was called to mind when in 1992 St George beat Newcastle 3-2 in a semi-final. And Brian Smith was the winning coach on both occasions.

There's been at least one. I saw Oldham beat Hull by that score on a filthy day at the Watersheddings back around 1980/81 time.
