In a game built on collisions and chaos, Alex Johnston has made a career out of being one of the most talented try-scorers and finishers in rugby league history.
While forwards crash and halves scheme, Johnston simply waits, and then runs, and rarely does he not score.
Since bursting onto the scene in what would be South Sydney Rabbitohs' premiership-winning 2014 season, the Rabbitohs winger has rewritten the record books in a way that felt almost inevitable once you'd watched him long enough.
Last Friday, he crossed for his 213th career try, surpassing Ken Irvine's record that was untouched for 57 years.
He cemented his place not just as the greatest try-scorer in NRL history, but as one of the underrated athletes the game has ever produced.
Here are the ten best tries of Alex Johnston's career.
6. Recreating Benji's '05 Grand Final moment in 2021
In the 2005 Tigers premiership victory over the Cowboys, the game included what would be one of the most replayed and celebrated moments in NRL history; the Benji run and flick pass.
Sixteen years later, Benji Marshall would play for the Rabbitohs and against the Titans in round seven that year, would have one of the best second half stretches playing for the club.
Marshall scored a try of his own in the 49th minute, and then in the 56th minute, was the recipient of a Cameron Murray offload that would turn into a breakway run.
Benji runs to the left side, pushing for the corner and then he slows down for just a moment, putting the ball around his back to create a flick pass for Johnston to finish the play and continue the Rabbitohs' attacking brilliance that night.
Benji would also score his second try of the night, but for Alex Johnston, was able to execute the end of a play that reminded fans rugby league fans and the Tigers fans specificially of the famous play from the '05 Grand Final.
The game finished 40-30 in a club victory over the Titans in Gold Coast, and the Rabbitohs winger scored his 112th for his career with nostaglic fashion.
