2025 Women’s State of Origin Game 1 First Try Scorer

Queensland and New South Wales gets the 2025 Women's State of Origin series underway on Thursday with excellent value on offer in the tryscorer markets.

Game 1 of the 2025 Women's State of Origin series will kick off the festivities at the NRL Magic Round in what is one of the most anticipated women’s rugby league clashes in the history of the competition.

There will be no better way for punters and fans alike to get their long weekend off to the best start by picking the first try scorer in the first big match of Magic Round.

Our experts have dived into the record books to give you the first try scorer stats from the last 5 years and provide their tips for Game 1 of the 2025 Women’s State of Origin.

Since 2020, both Queensland and New South Wales have scored the first try on 4 occasions.
The first try has been scored twice by a winger, centre, fullback and lock, since 2020.
New South Wales has scored the first try in 3 of the last 4 matches.
The first try has been scored inside of 10 mins in 6 of 8 Women’s State of Origin games since 2020.

Based on these trends and their current try scoring form, here are our top 3 picks for the first try scorer in State of Origin Game 1. You can also see our Origin 1 preview and tips and player of the match bets.

Julia Robinson - Queensland

The Queensland winger Julia Robinson was in elite try scoring form in 2024 topping the list in the NRLW with 9 tries from 10 matches and also crossing once during the three-game Origin series.

The Bronco also took that form into the exhibition match for the Jillaroos in Vegas, scoring 3 tries in the Aussies thumping of the Poms.

Robinson led the NRLW in linebreaks and tackle busts in 2024 and makes her arguably the most dangerous player on the field on Thursday night.

Jaime Chapman - New South Wales

Jaime Chapman was the only player to cross the line twice in the 2024 series and will be lurking on the wing to score a try early in this contest. The Titan has scored 3 tries in 5 games for the Blues and crossed 3 times for the Gold Coast in 2024.

Tamika Upton - Queensland

The veteran Queensland fullback Tamika Upton has played every State of Origin game for the Maroons since 2020 and knows what it takes to inspire her team.

Upton scored once in the three game series for Queensland last year and has 4 tries in her origin career for QLD.

If form is anything to go by then the 28-year-old is the one to back after scoring 5 tries for the Jillaroos in Vegas, along with 3 linebreaks, 7 tackle busts and a try assist.

Verdict

QLD Maroons Women v NSW Blues Women

With QLD tipped to win then look out for Julia Robinson and Tamika Upton to cross the line for the all important first try. If the Blues spoil the party then Jaime Chapman will be in the mix for NSW.
