RL:'More tries': Hammer on track to nail Origin try record

If try-scoring whiz Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow was a T20 cricketer, his strike-rate would ensure he was the most sought-after batsman at the IPL auction.

The 24-year-old Dolphin, known as "Hammer", has scored 11 tries in 10 Origin matches for Queensland.

To put that in perspective, all-time Origin try record-holder Greg Inglis scored 18 tries in 32 matches.

Tabuai-Fidow's strike-rate of 1.1 tries per match puts him well clear of any other player to have scored more than 10 tries.

That figure is so niche it would equate to a batting strike-rate of 250-plus per 100 balls in T20 cricket, a mark no cricketer has attained.

That is the rare air the dynamic Dolphin roams in ahead of this year's Origin series opener in Sydney on May 27.
