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.
2. Johnston's 212th Try
Last Friday night, the Rabbitohs struggled at the start of the game against the Roosters.
The Roosters were up 12-0 and the Bunnies searched for a way with under 10 minutes to go in the first half.
The Rabbitohs ran a sweeping shape to the left edge that saw space for Latrell Mitchell to create and embrace a double-team with his left arm free throwing a flick pass that left Alex Johnston open enough to run over the line in a tightly fashion and get as close to the goal posts as he could.
