NRL Round 21 Preview: Sharks vs.
Rabbitohs
The Rabbitohs are gearing up for their Round 21 clash against the Sharks in Gosford this Saturday night, with star winger Alex Johnston making headlines as he chases Ken Irvine's long-standing premiership tryscoring record.
Following a late try against the Panthers, Johnston's career total has reached 207, placing him just five tries away from Irvine's impressive mark of 212, a record that has remained untouched for fifty years.
However, the Sharks have gained momentum recently, securing victories over the Dolphins and Roosters in the past two weeks.
With Blayke Brailey's dynamic play from dummy half and Nicho Hynes asserting his presence, the Sharks have clawed their way back into the top eight.
They now face a favorable schedule, with four of their last six games against teams ranked lower on the ladder.
This match promises to be an exciting encounter, with Johnston aiming to close in on a historic record, while the Sharks look to solidify their spot in the finals race.
