Kenny Edwards brings both the X-factor and why-factor for Parramatta.

There is nothing predictable about Edwards. At a time when the majority of the NRL's elite are built the same, talk the same and play an almost identical brand of footy, Edwards provides a point of difference

There is good different; the cheeky offload, that crabbing cross-field run that puts defences in two minds or that massive hit when he rushes up in defence to lift his team. There's also bad different; the penalties conceded, passes that hit turf or other manifestations of "Bad Kenny".

On balance, there is much more good than bad, although no one really knows to expect at any given time. Which is what makes Edwards such a dangerous proposition for opponents. It may just be one of his moments of magic or madness that turns the game against a Melbourne side that has little trouble shutting down the formulaic attack that is often thrown at it.
