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.

2. Canterbury Bulldogs - Reimis Smith

Smith scored two tries on his debut in 2016 but never got another shot until last year when he broke into the team for the second half of the season, scoring 7 tries in 11 games. Smith showed his incredible potential when he produced a brilliant hat-trick in a 38-0 rout of the Dragons and the gangly winger also made a remarkable 1530 running metres in 2018

  1. 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 .

  2. 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

  3. 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 👎🏻

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

  5. 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. >😂😆🤣😁😂😆🤣😁💪🎱👉——-🐔🏆🐔🏆

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

  7. “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

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

  9. 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.

  10. 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💪👴👍
