Nathan Cleary has declared that his Kangaroos' teammate Reece Walsh has a 'pure X-factor' talent which rugby league has rarely witnessed in its history.
The last time the Penrith ace was in England for the World Club Challenge at Wigan last year, it was Cleary who was being hailed there as the best player in the world.
But after taking their first close-up glimpse of Walsh's electric talent in Australia's first Test Ashes triumph at Wembley, all the chatter among British league fans was whether they'd just witnessed the game's new global standard-bearer.
