2014 ESP Elite info discussion thread (Flyer P22 - Checklist P41)

Perhaps the number one card will be two cards, one card is the signature front with a blank back, the other card is the back with the stamp and a blank front?

Will be interesting to see.

Well 4 players are pretty much confirmed for souths commons (3 are, 1 is a certainty anyway), so I'm hoping the souths common set looks like this (to get player we haven't seen on cards before:
#100 John Sutton (confirmed, captain)
#101 Kirisome Auva'a
#102Sam Burgess (confirmed, booster pack)
#103 Greg Inglis (confirmed, parallel)
#104 Alex Johnston
#105 Kyle Turner
#106 Lote Tuqiri
#107 Joel Reddy
#108 Adam Reynolds (certainty)

How did you figure that?

 

[Rocket1908]

Sam burgess is on the booster. You can see Inglis's Parallel in the flyer. John Sutton is captain. The numbering is the same as last year, it is a nine card common set. Reynolds because they wouldn't not give him a common. The rest is just what I'd like.

I like the idea of getting the whole Women in league set together redeemed from one card that's cool
Except the team collectors will just chase the one so a lot will be broken up

 

[Jaede]

this is most likely the list for the women in league set
Anthony Minichiello (Sydney Roosters)
Dene Halatau (Canterbury Bulldogs)
Scott Prince (Brisbane Broncos)
Dallas Johnson (North Queensland Cowboys)
Ben Creagh (St George-Illawarra Dragons)
Danny Buderus (Newcastle Knights)
Roy Asotasi (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
Bryan Norrie (Melbourne Storm)
Simon Mannering (Warriors)

 

[Victor The Viking]

It looks like a pretty good set. I like the #1 card deal and masters & apprentice is a good idea for a subset.

Probably the only thing I don't like out of what I've seen so far is they have gone over the top with the parallels again.

I wonder if they will be putting league sensations and young guns in thevsame box again?

Manu Vatuvei won the award so he would be there instead of Mannering

Edit : sorry that was this year

It should be more like this IMHO:

#100 John Sutton
#101 George Burgess
#102 Sam Burgess
#103 Greg Inglis
#104 Isaac Luke [probably won't though ]
#105 Nathan Merritt [probably won't though]
#106 Chris McQueen
#107 Adam Reynolds
#108 Ben T'eo // Dylan Walker


Auva'a, Turner and Johnston all debuted this year and I can't them having a card this soon. Wouldn't have been on NRL / ESP radar.

Manu vatuvei was this years winner not 2013
