Does a penalty try count for a named first try scorer prop?

Direct answer

It depends on the event’s official attribution and the operator’s scorer rules. A team can receive a penalty try without a named player being credited as scorer.

What to check

Check whether the ticket is first team to score a try, named first try scorer or any try. Those markets can respond differently.

Does an NRL penalty try count toward an anytime try-scorer bet?

Check the NRL operator’s rule for anytime try scorers separately from its first-scorer rule. A penalty try is a team score without a named player credited with grounding the ball.
