2026 NRL Halfback Forty-Twenties leaders

A kick from inside a team's own forty that bounces into touch inside the opposition twenty, winning the scrum feed. The forty-twenty is the single most valuable kick in the game, and they are rare: each one is a field-position game-winner. This page ranks Halfback players for the 2026 season. Current leaders include Jamal Fogarty, Jahrome Hughes, Nathan Cleary.
