2014 NRL grand final x-factors
- 1/10
Greg Inglis – Rabbitohs
The man at the back for Souths has been in scintillating form throughout the finals and is always hard to stop from close range.
- 2/10
Trent Hodkinson – Bulldogs
Hodkinson’s stellar form in 2014 saw him shine on the game’s biggest stage – State of Origin. Will undoubtedly want his hands on the ball if the game is on the line.
- 3/10
Adam Reynolds - Rabbitohs
The man running the show for the Rabbitohs has all the skills to be one of the game’s greatest halfbacks in coming years.
- 4/10
Josh Morris – Bulldogs
The veteran centre has taken some time to find his form after a knee injury in Origin game one, but has the experience to pull off an upset for the Bulldogs.
- 5/10
Dylan Walker - Rabbitohs
The Rabbitohs centre is one of the fastest players in the game and his form this season has seen him come into calculations for Kangaroos selection.
- 6/10
Tim Lafai - Bulldogs
After failing to grasp opportunities in previous years, the hard-running centre has had a break-out year in 2014 and could bag a try or two in the grand final.
- 7/10
Sam Burgess – Rabbitohs
The giant Englishman is in career-best form and will be looking to leave rugby league with a bang.
- 8/10
Josh Jackson - Bulldogs
Jackson rocketed into State of Origin contention in 2014. The hard-working back-rower can also play in the halves and centres and will be a go-to man for Canterbury.
- 9/10
Apisai Koroisau – Rabbitohs
The youngster entrusted with filling the shoes of suspended hooker Isaac Luke might just prove a game-changer for Souths.
- 10/10
James Graham - Bulldogs
The ‘British Bulldog’ is hell-bent on taking the Bulldogs to an NRL premiership. His 2014 form has been outstanding, culminating in Prop of the Year honours.
