Did he give a reason why?
Not saying he does either just curious is all. My thought would be he got annoyed by all the ebayers cashing in from the Centenary cards asking him to sign IP & didn't want more cards again lolTo be honest he shouldn’t have to give a reason why
Didn't Mal say something like that a while backThe game hasn’t given him enough lol
Your right , but apart from having arthritis he should of just due to the fact of how terrible a selector he was lolTo be honest he shouldn’t have to give a reason why
OR an alternate view he finally got caught rorting the system after years of getting away with it and he took his bat and ball and went and had a sook.It’d be because he was hung out to dry by Manly and the NRL after the salary cap issues.
Haha. Yep. Or that.OR an alternate view he finally got caught rorting the system after years of getting away with it and he took his bat and ball and went and had a sook.

Hope the cards are the same feel as elite 2018. Hope all future elite sets have the same feel to them as the elite 2018 cards are great with how they made them
@McdizzlerI really, really, really hope NOT! The base cards were fine with the matt/satin finish but most of the inserts imo lost a LOT of "oomph" without a gloss finish - mojos especially (big time disappointment), same for the silver parallels. Further, as this set seems to be themed after 2008 Centenary, they should feel like that set too.
Cynically, I am thinking the matt/satin finish is cheaper (are there any printers to clarify?), so more profit when asking the same price as previous Elite releases.
Each to their own but I really liked the look and feel of the Elite 18. I think even the inserts are better that way as I prefer the matt finish over a gloss finish to me it just looks classier. But I've always chosen matt finish over gloss whenever I've had photos printed from holidays so I guess I've just always liked that look betterI really, really, really hope NOT!

Only TLA would have Mogg, Woolford, Campese, Brett White and Alan Tongue as a greater chance of making the HoF than Brett Mullins
Happy with Tongue but would have preferred Mullins, Croker (Jason), Furner and Belcher

Penrith have the following players in this 2018 set:
5 Current players (which are good) +
Kevin Kingston
Tony Puletua
Frank Puletua
Trent Waterhouse
Rhys Wesser
Induction Class is:
Greg Alexander
Royce Simmons
Petero Civoniceva (Probably Broncos)
Out of the 2008 set the only player featured in the top 100 was Brad Fittler and he was primarily a Roosters players.
I would have preferred to have seen:
Mark Geyer
John Cartwright
Ryan Girdler
Craig Gower
Tony Puletua
Outside of the 13 base cards (5 current, 5 past players + 3 Inductions) there really isn't much more in this set for a Panthers fan to chase?
Puletua and Waterhouse (Future Famers insert) $5 to $10 each?
Tony Puletua Future Famers Signature #/420 (He has a Future Force auto already "Limited to 675") likely a $25 card.
Charter Class Brad Fittler & Petero Civoniceva (likely in other teams gear anyway).
I understand that other teams like the Dragons/Souths/Eels etc will have plenty to chase, but for me aside from the base cards I really don't have much interest in the product.
Just my thoughts.
I do think they could have pushed this product to a whole new level but get the feeling Wang has Ctrl C + Ctrl V from his spreadsheet in 2008 and added in a few different players that sounded familiar to him at the time.
I do guess if he is funding the product he can put in whomever he wants.

probably get a job back at the roosters.OR an alternate view he finally got caught rorting the system after years of getting away with it and he took his bat and ball and went and had a sook.
