Alex Johnston needs three tries to draw level with Ken Irvine\u2019s try-scoring record, and four to set a new mark.<\/p>\n
Irvine played with North Sydney before he finished his in the early 1970s with Manly, and Bennett, 75, said he never actually got to watch Irvine play.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t a Sydney guy, I remember as a kid I\u2019d listen to the radio all the time, and I loved listening to the football from Sydney, I heard them call him on the radio,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a magnificent finisher, that was the era of those type of wingers \u2013 they didn\u2019t have to do hit-ups like they do today, and catch as many high balls as they do today.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was obviously a great athlete and a great finisher, and played in a team that didn\u2019t win a grand final. To achieve what he did was quite remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Souths defeated the Titans after nine straight losses, play St George Illawarra next week, followed by the bye, then the Sydney Roosters in the final round.<\/p>\n
Bayleigh Bentley-Hape will start at left centre for Mitchell, with Tyrone Munro coming on to the right wing.<\/p>\n
Souths have no less than 11 Indigenous players in their squad \u2013 by far the highest number in the NRL \u2013 with the group posing for a photo on Sydney Harbour last week. One Japanese tourist was intrigued by the cameras and asked for a selfie with Mitchell.<\/p>\n
As part of Souths\u2019 Indigenous Round celebrations, Olympic legend Cathy Freeman will ring the club\u2019s Legacy Bell before kick-off, and the squad will be led on to the field by Greg Inglis. Inglis and Freeman were photographed in the sheds after the club\u2019s 2014 title triumph.<\/p>\n
