And trust me, I've checked the scorelines for every season from this one back to then.
I did dig up quite a few examples of teams failing to score a try the week before and playing each other the following week, the most recent being Souths vs Cronulla in round 15 2007, having both been held tryless the previous week (but scoring penalty goals). .
Not only that but in 2004 the Tigers were held to nil in their other clash with the Roosters, so they were held to nil in both clashes by the same team in the one year.Also, there's been 10 double bagels, with one in recent memory: Wests Tigers going 0-50 & 0-56 in successive games in 2004.
However, Brisbane v Cronulla often finishes 16-12, or least a 12 or 16 in there somewhere.

0-0 was 1982 Canterbury v Newtown at Henson Park , on a cold overcast day.
What a waste of 80 minutes no one involved will ever get back
