Try of the Week: Round 20 - Red and green machine in overdrive
Rabbitohs flyer Alex Johnston bagged five tries in round 20 to surge to the top of the tryscoring list for 2020 and he has also taken home Drinkwise Try of the Week honours for his fourth of the night.
Corey Allan was about to post a try of his own after a dazzling left side raid by the Rabbitohs but the fullback unselfishly passed to Johnston, who touched down for his 19th of the season to draw level with Kyle Feldt.
The NRL.com newsroom pored over the footage from all eight games and came up with four strong contenders but it was Johnston coming out on top from Titans flyer AJ Brimson's long-range effort against the Knights.
What is the Drinkwise Try of the Week?
With such a banquet of rugby league action on offer every single week, it’s only fitting that fans should get to have a say on who they think delivers when it comes to try scoring feats, across the 2020 season.
The Drinkwise Try of the Week has the experts at NRL.com scouring the footage from each game of the round to offer up four nominations for you, the fans, to vote on.
What do you value more - length of the field runs or acrobatic wingers evading defenders whilst seemingly suspended in mid-air?
Is a try from the spectacular catch of a bomb better than that of an epic left foot step? Don’t keep those thoughts to yourself. Now is your chance to make your opinion known.
At the conclusion of the round the winning nomination will be named the Drinkwise Try of the Week and the results of the week’s vote will be published on NRL.com on Tuesday afternoon.
