2016 ELITE Rumours/Ideas update

Must say I am dying for the time the 2016 Elite sell sheet comes out and I am anticipating the best ESP Elite series yet to come however a lot of work and consideration needs to be done to keep me interested in collecting cards of the series for I have skipped the 2015 Traders, 2015 Elite and 2016 Traders. My next post will comprise a revised mock-sell-sheet based on a 2016 Elite I'd personally most like to see and would be interesting to see if there's anyone with me. To sum up for the time being, a lot of work needs to be done by ESP should the Elite price for this year remain $9 per pack. In other words, 2015 Elite would have been a lot more collectible had it remained $6 per pack. Thank god I never bought a Mojo set for close to $1000 when buyers nowadays have been struggling to sell one on eBay to scrape one set for as little as $200 at times hence not to mention gold RF signature cards for initial RRP value of $900 selling as little as $90 at times and the unsigned silver versions of same inset with initial RRP value of $400 selling as little as $30 at times.

Great tackle but how dumb is Ennis? Well done to the ref / bunker for calling it out, the guy is a complete knob on the field.

In my opinion they should allow each team to nominate one opposition player that they are allowed to punch because that's what I want to watch, somebody giving Ennis the smacking he deserves, such a brave player running up to people and sledging all the time.

Still working my way through this game, havent seen what Ennis did yet. Probably watch it wednesday

Is having a finger nail on the ball considered control these days?

Has been for quite a few years now

Lol. Have a look at Lawrence's try. Lol x10000. Dropped for all money.

If that was a try so was the no try

 

[Brendan_B]

The biggest issue is the try / no try on field ruling. If they are sending it to the bunker it is because they don't know. Let the bunker make the call without having to defer to the on field official

One day a disgruntled gambler will do in a ref. Not a case of if but when.

Ps I'm not a gambler lol.

Can I volunteer.

 

[Brendan_B]

Just read a Courier Mail article which has Blake Ferguson starting wing and Thaiday starting second row....are you f***ing kidding me? Do we want to beat the Kiwis?

Just seen it. Your team mate does some brilliant work And gets your team the ball then do an idiot move like that, hope they give it to him during the week.

Very smart work though later on to give the panthers player the ball back when it found his possesion in the 2 man tackle.

P.s cant believe Ferguson made the aussie side. Mansour, Oats id have before him even if play opposite side usually

 

[hobo]

Yep the Ferguson selection is really odd and cant say I agree with Semi being picked either.

It is a big bodied team maybe that's his thinking

 

[bigrob2307]

i dont think semi should be eligible to play for aussies BUT since he is i think hes a great winger and deserves his spot based on form.

Yep I was more disagreeing with his eligibility as apposed to his selection as a player.
