He's been labelled as one of the best finishers since making his NRL debut and Alofiana Khan-Pereira plans to continue chalking up the tries when he faces the Dragons again this Easter Sunday.
Coming off the back off 25 tries in 19 games for Burleigh in the Hostplus Cup last season, it's been business as usual for the points-scoring freak, entering the bye as the competition's top scorer finding the line five times in only four games.
Scoring his maiden four-pointer against the Red V last month, the 21-year-old young talent puts his ability to find the line time and time again down to one thing... his immense speed.
"To be honest, I think I just back my speed," Khan-Pereira said.
"I can get into places not many people can get to with having that opportunity, so if I back myself with my speed, it certainly opens up all the chances."
Suiting up for his fifth NRL appearance since coming into grade at the start of 2023, the Gold Coast junior feels it's only now he's beginning to feel more and more comfortable after a month at the top level.
"I think I'm just gelling now," Khan-Pereira said.
"In the first couple of games, I was a bit nervous and it took me a while, but now that I'm starting to get more games under my belt, it's starting to get easier."

Having extra motivation to avenge their Round 2 defeat to the Dragons away from home in Sunday's clash, Khan-Pereira believes playing their style of footy will go a long way to securing the two points.
"We are all definitely hungry and we want that revenge," he said.
"We just have to stick to our game plan and play smart that should go a long way in getting the W."
Excited to get his second taste of the passion and pride at Cbus Super Stadium, the Titans flyer can't wait to run out at home again when they get the chance to host the Dragons.
"The fans are awesome at Cbus," Khan-Pereira said.
"I'm keen as to do it againand hopefully we can get the win for our fans."
