Early tip , CNK won the game for the warriors , try and saved 2 certain tries , would have to be close. Ezra Mam also in the mix with a blinder against the panthers .

 

[Mattstorm]

Harry Grant had a big game too

Big chance , they love a DCE early in the year

Wayne Bennett gets a team of mish mashed players and beats the roosters .Sheens , Benji and Farah buy Api and leave him on the bench till it’s 12-2 ????

Good to see a Dolphin get it.

I would have thought Kaufusi with his Beetson Medal or maybe the Hammer scoring the first ever try though.

 

[MikeK]

I was thinking the Hammer try would be the Dolphins Predictor magic moment redemption card. Agree that if a Dolphin was going to get it then it should have been Kaufusi!

 

[Matt26]

How the hell did Kaufusi not get the PIF?

Players clearly love to play for Bennett. He is incredible. In hindsight they should not have been that rough in the betting. It was on home soil, they would've been pumped and Roosters would've been chalking this up as a win. I'm backing the Dolphins to make it two in a row - despite them probably still being hungover celebrating a great first win. They might be tough to beat at home all year.

I look forward to seeing them play here in the frontier outpost of Perth.

How do you get these cards? Are they like Select AFL where there is a 48 hour print to order window?

 

[MikeK]

Actually the window is only 24 hours.

You need to either go to here:

https://www.tlatradingcards.com/category/2023-special-edition/

or see if dealers like Diggaz or GCTC are getting and few and putting them online for collectors.

 

[ozsportscardcollector]

Thanks for the info.

Took too many angry pills before the game.

How the hell did Kaufusi not get the PIF?

Maybe they didn't have a decent photo of him, compared to a hooker who gets plenty of clear touches with the ball (and had a great game).
I know from taking snaps of my kids' teams, getting good shots of everyone is bloody hard!
