Cmon where's the optimism, u may need to fork out $150 for the sharks predictor lol.
They look after the regular top 8 teams and forget the rest ......They should consider the bottom teams as well occasionally ...It`s a 16 team comp not an 8 team comp ......

I assume Select have some sort of business stradegy (i.e make as much money as possible with the least outlay) i would assume they look at their mailing list see who majority support, which are the more popular teams, better players, or even who they can get to sign the cards, a team like the warriors is out of mind out of sight, based in NZ, would say 95% of Select customers are based in OZ, so majority would not support Warriors, as a team they have not done much over the years bar the 1 GF appearance, no real Superstar player that comes to mind, maybe ManuV, so they get ignored, so for the Warrior PC collector not much, where as me who colects all cards it doesn't worry me whether Warriors miss out or not... What would be nice is if they did give all team's a fair go, but aint gonna happen....
Select as a whole are wayyyy behind the rest of the trading card world in general, I dont really buy into that AFL over NRL arguement. Yes they get more, but i would hardly call it more quality. Think about the poor cricket collectors, they have all jumped over to the NBA and i dont blame them coz i have considered that many times before.
If you go back and add up the number of Storm high end cards then that argument does not really hold. Lets face facts - they dont give a sh*t about NRL - they only care about AFL. Thats the way it has been and thats the way it will be. We (NRL collectors) just provide them some fat on top - we are a complete after thought.
Go over and have a look at the Hawthorn set some of AFL guys have just picked up. Its outstanding.
Select wont start to pay respect to collectors until someone like Pannini enters the market and scares the sh*t out of them into action. By that time it will be too late because they wont be able to match their cheque book.
Storm have/had a number of Superstar players Slater, Cronk, Kimmorley, C.Smith, Inglis and heaps more over the years, Also a re constantly in the top 4 side's legally and illegally Warriors have only ever had Stacey Jones really & 1 GF appearance, basically been a dissapoitment....
