Alex Johnston has been the Rabbitohs’ fullback for the past two seasons, except for two months of footy in 2017 when Cody Walker was shifted to the custodian role. Now he’s got a real challenge on his hands to retain the No.1 jumper, with highly-rated Brisbane product Corey Allan making the move to Redfern. So exciting is the Logan Brothers
junior, that he was the first player ever selected in the Australian Prime Minister’s XIII side without having played an NRL game. He’s been a mainstay in Queensland junior rep sides, and played alongside Rabbitohs young gun Cameron Murray for the junior Kangaroos in 2017. Wayne Bennett is acutely aware of what the 20-year-old has to offer, and Johnston has far from been assured of his role at Redfern since the coach swap began.
