Wayne Bennett, the coach of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, has issued a strong message to fans regarding their behavior when Alex Johnston approaches a significant milestone.
Following his impressive performance against the Dolphins, where the match ended with an astounding scoreline of 40-30, Johnston now finds himself just two tries shy of surpassing Ken Irvine's long-standing record for all-time tries.
This remarkable achievement could be realized as soon as next week, when the Rabbitohs meet their fierce rivals, the Sydney Roosters, at Allianz Stadium on Friday evening.
Bennett's call to action was clear: he asked supporters to refrain from rushing onto the field as Johnston nears this historic accomplishment.
His straightforward message highlights the need for decorum and respect, especially during such a pivotal moment in the sport.
With the excitement building among fans, the focus continues to remain on Johnston and the Rabbitohs as they prepare for this crucial game.
The anticipation surrounding the event underscores the significance of the record and what it means for both Johnston and the team's legacy.
As this thrilling moment in rugby league draws closer, all eyes will be on Allianz Stadium to witness history in the making.
