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.

3. Canberra Raiders - Nick Cotric

It's easy to forget Cotric has only been playing for two years. The winger/fullback has already scored 28 tries in 48 games for the Raiders and hasn't missed a game since his debut. He's fast become one of Canberra's most prized attacking weapons, earmarking him for an Origin debut in the near future.

      • “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

  1. 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 👎🏻

  2. 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. >😂😆🤣😁😂😆🤣😁💪🎱👉——-🐔🏆🐔🏆

    • 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.

      • 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💪👴👍
