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.
4. Five Tries in a game and the Ken Irvine Medal
In Round 20 of the 2020 season, the Rabbitohs and Roosters played each other and in what was expected to be a close game, the Bunnies dominated with a 60-8 victory.
With the season schedule reduced due to the global pandemic, it was the last round of the season before the finals.
The moment that sealed the fifth try for Johnston was after Cameron Murray scored his try.
The team went the full field and Corey Allan who was over the line and could have scored himself, looked to his left and saw Alex Johnston, passed him the ball and let the PNG winger score his fourth for the game.
The fourth and fifth tries sealed not just the victory for the game, which was already decided, but the recipient of the Ken Irvine Medal for most tries in a season.
He would also win it in 2021 and 2022, becoming a three-time consecutive winner.
It also helped the Bunnies in their finals pursuit, setting up the finals fixture that would see them play Newcastle in the elimination final in the first round of finals that year.
