In a recent interview, Rabbitohs wing wizard Alex Johnston opened up about his future with the club as he gears up for what could be his final season with the team.
As the last surviving member of the legendary 2014 premiership squad, Johnston's future at the club has been the subject of much speculation.
With just 18 tries standing between him and Ken Irvine's all-time try-scoring record, there have been whispers that Johnston may be donning a different jersey when he inevitably shatters the record.
At a sprightly 30 years old, Johnston has notched up an impressive 227 appearances for the club since his debut, but a string of injuries last season saw him fall short of his usual stellar form.
To add to the pressure, rising stars like Isaiah Tass, Tyrone Munro, Fletcher Myers, and Lancelot Tovio are nipping at Johnston's heels, vying for a spot on the wing.
With competition heating up, Johnston finds himself battling to hold onto his place in the team amidst a sea of hungry young talents.
As the Rabbitohs prepare to kick off their season against the Dolphins, all eyes will be on Johnston as he fights to secure his future with the club and cement his place in rugby league history.
It's a high-stakes game, but Johnston knows how to play it right and give it his all on the field.
