I reckon if Semi, Haynes or Sivo had persisted in the NRL we might be talking about them breaking the NRL try scoring record. I think Semi and Hayne were close to 1 try per game average over 100 games? Thoughts?

Semi would be the best bet. Need a lot of luck with injuries for any player to even think about achieving what Alex Johnston did
Cmom Lets give Alex johnson his due .....amazing record broken he wasnt a convicted sex offender, a rugby convert or a flash in the pan super league wanna be
Jack de Belin had same result as Hayne in the end of charges dropped, yet he's fine?
Irvine was a far better winger than Johnson. You could probably count on one hand how many tries Johnson created for himself, the majority were handed to him on a platter. Irvine could, and did, score a lot of long range tries with his speed and elusiveness.
Just cause you play Wing doesn't mean you automatically score either, try scoring is a skill on its own with positioning, timing, strength etc.
Irvine played for Australia numerous times but let's not say Johnston is a terrible player either or downgrade the achievement.
Both Semi and Sivo would have given it a run.
Semi, best winger to ever play the game.
Best winger I've ever seen.
I'd put my money on Radradra for sure. He had an uncanny ability to score from anywhere, and our team would have been one of the worst around him.
forget that lets be honest what if the Hayne Plane never hadthe dream to play NFL & Sami never left the EELS
imagine the back 3 being SAmi & Sivo on the Wings & Hayne at FB - the 2022 Grandfinal would of been a very close game in the end maybe even an EELS win
