When your team is in trouble and you need someone to come up with a crucial play, who's going to make the big play? Here's the X-factor player at every NRL club, the player that has the talent and the ability to pull something special off for their team.

1. Brisbane Broncos - James Roberts

The speed-freak Roberts can bust open a defence out of nowhere and strikes fear in the opponent whenever he's in open space. Roberts has averaged a try every second game for the Broncos and he had a strong impact for his side last season, notching up 81 tackle-breaks and 1919 running metres.

  2. I think it’s a bit of a mess.
    Nic Cotric is there with a picture & all. However, he isn’t there under his own number .

  3. Don’t think I’d be putting Nick Cotric in there as the Raiders X factor. More like BJ Leilua and Jordan Rapana combined (Leipana) – difficult to split those two

  4. Does anyone else find all these ad’s and stories annoying when scrolling down to the comments section. This site has gone to the 💩 over the last 6-12 months. And these stupid ladbroke punting ad’s to continue reading are doing my head in too 👎🏻

  6. Well it wouldn’t take much to do your little peanut head in 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜😵 redv13. Get over it. CLOWN🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

  7. I would say the Roosters V factor is Tedesco, Tupou, Mitchell, Manu, Morris, Keary, Cronk, and if I left out Hall it is only because he won’t be peeking until 2 or 3 weeks out fron the semis. >😂😆🤣😁😂😆🤣😁💪🎱👉——-🐔🏆🐔🏆

  9. Raiders are just making up the numbers, hence sharing with another club on page 2.
    FADErs…………………..

  12. “Geez I love it when ppl write us off before the season starts”

    There is a good reason people write them off every year, the Raiders haven’t even been in a grand final in 25 years. This year will be no different and honestly I dont think they will ever win another 1 at this rate.

    1 finals appearance in 10 years, that’s why people write them off

  13. I didn’t write it..
    As long as X factor only includes attack?
    Would you include Leilua in your best tackler section?

  14. So you’re saying none of the chickens have the X factor? They’re caught two letters short of X , on the letter V?
    Maybe a few of them will have the ACL factor? After getting their boots stuck in the SCG turf in quite a few games .
    Those ACL factors are a real bugger.

  15. X factor = V factor, that’s V for Victory❗❕❗❕❗❕ Tell you the truth COTGDR I pressed the wrong button by two spots. With 98year old eye balls when I spotted the V it looked like the top of an X💪👴👍
