Here's more Adelaide news for March 13th. South Sydney Rapotto's Winger, Alex Johnston, etched his name in history by scoring his 213th career try, breaking the all-time record for most tries in Australian Red Beleague. This milestone came in a match against the Sydney Roosters at Alien Stadium, surpassing a mark that it stood for over a century. The try followed sharp lead-up plays from teammates David Fafita and Lettreau Mitchell, putting Johnston clear to cross untouched. It marked him as just the second player in 102 years to claim the top spot, with his current lead suggesting the record could stand for. Decades. Fans erupted immediately, storming the field in a wave of joy that included Rabato's supporters and even some Roosters fans. Prime Minister Anthony Albinese joined the celebration, Scarf in Hand, amid warnings that have been booed off the big screens earlier. The invasion delayed the game by about 20 minutes, but Johnston returned emotional, wearing

a special jersey with a golden number 2. The crowd gave him a massive roar as play resumed. Roosters took the win 26-18, thanks to strong efforts from players like Mark, Nahuacanito Wase and James Tidesco. For Johnston and South Sto, the night was about a lasting legacy that fans refused to watch from afar, D&N is sponsored by our partner.
