How First Tryscorer Betting Works in Origin

First tryscorer betting is straightforward — you pick which player will score the first try of the match. If your player crosses the line before anyone else, your bet wins. The odds vary based on each player’s perceived likelihood of scoring first, with wingers and fullbacks typically shortest-priced.

Key Factors for Origin First Tryscorer Picks

Position: Wingers and fullbacks score first tries most often in Origin due to their positioning near the try line on both sides of the field.

Early set plays: Teams often target specific players with designed moves in the opening sets. Identifying which side a team will attack first can narrow your selection.

Recent NRL form: Players who have been scoring regularly in the NRL season leading into Origin carry that confidence into the representative arena.

Historical data: Some players are perennial Origin tryscorers. Checking historical first tryscorer data across previous series can reveal patterns.

State of Origin 2026 Tryscorer Contenders

With the 2026 Origin squads yet to be announced, the leading tryscorer contenders will emerge from NRL form over the coming months. Key players to watch include outside backs from the Penrith Panthers, Warriors and Wests Tigers — all of whom are in strong early-season form.

Our detailed first tryscorer previews will be published ahead of each game once squads are confirmed.

Other Origin Tryscorer Markets

Anytime Tryscorer: Back a player to score at any point during the match — not just first. Easier to hit but shorter odds.

Last Tryscorer: Predict who will score the final try. Often goes to players involved in late attacking raids.

2+ Tries: Back a player to score two or more tries in the same Origin match. Big odds for a big payout.
