    Wayne says ‘that’s not our game’ but many disagree as ‘once in a lifetime’ debate splits NRL

    Wayne Bennett made his position very clear: “That’s not our game”.

    Four years ago Swans and Hawthorn great Lance Franklin was mobbed at the SCG after kicking his 1000th AFL goal.

    The NRL now finds itself facing a similar situation with an unlikely star at the centre.

    While “Buddy” Franklin was the biggest name in the AFL, the unassuming South Sydney Rabbitohs winger Alex Johnston finds himself on the cusp of the record books.

    Wayne Bennett: Alex Johnston’s Record Will Be Earned, Not Gifted | Media Wrap

    South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett says the team won't be distracted by Alex Johnston's looming try-scoring record when they face the Roosters, insisting the milestone will happen naturally as the focus remains on executing their game plan.

    Wayne Bennett has made it clear that Alex Johnston's pursuit of the all-time try-scoring record won't distract his team from the task at hand against the Roosters this week. Bennett dismissed suggestions that the milestone has become a focus within the playing group, stating the team's preparation remains firmly on their own performance.

    "We want him to get there, but we've all got our jobs to do, and we've got all our parts to play in the team. The opposition doesn't give a damn about Alex's record. So why would we focus on it? The bottom line, it'll happen, and when it happens we'll all celebrate."

    Roosters suffer major blow as Origin star ruled out of Round 1

    Sydney Roosters have copped a brutal blow on the eve of their season opener against the New Zealand Warriors.

    Strike centre Robert Toia has withdrawn from the side following a foot injury, which kept him out of the trials during February. 

    Although it doesn't seem too serious, the Roosters medical staff want to take a precautionary approach.

    The Roosters have opted for Junior Pauga to replace him at right centre.

    Toia was a breakout star last year, being crowned the Rookie of the Year and making his mark in the right centre position for the tri-colours.

    It got him a State of Origin call-up, which came as a shock to many when coach Billy Slater gave him his debut jersey after a handful of games in the top grade.
