Every NRL club has a player that they rely on to deliver them results. Whether it’s leading from the front, demonstrating brilliance or providing consistency every team needs a key player. These are the players that will need to perform for each club, from the New Zealand Warriors to the Wests Tigers.

7. Sydney Roosters - Cooper Cronk

The Roosters managed to pull off one of the biggest signings in NRL history when they managed to attract Cooper Cronk to the club. Every NRL fan knows that Cronk is one of the best halves in the NRL and his ability to control a game is almost unmatched.

Cronk will combine with Luke Keary, James Tedesco and Jake Friend in an incredibly strong spine. As the most experienced player in that spine Cronk will be responsible for many of the wins the Roosters record in 2018.
