2022 TLA NRL Elite Official Thread - Checklist Added

[bigrob2307]

Can confirm that the Master Series in 2022 will be wearing BLUE not Maroon

Someone like Cordner would make sense

Also be an opportunity for as much whinging as when Boyd was selected

 

[Sharks16]

Yeah not heaps of NSW options it wasn't much of an era for us but probably either Gal or cordner maybe even one of the morris twins or who knows a dual booklet twin master series auto

Not a bad idea and you’re spot on . The Queenslanders had 4-5 of the best footballers we’ve ever seen over that period. A GI would’ve been a good pick had it been another Queenslander.

Only difference was Boyd Cordner could play footy and would’ve been the NSW and Australian captain haha

 

[Brandboy20]

Any other hints

Proberbly JT

Yeah would be fitting if it’s Boyd Cordner shame he had to retire the way he did.

Hoping Broncos LS is Staggs and Herbie is the YG.

Id really like to see a Ponga LS this year but I dread the price they will go for if it is.....

 

[JCam06]

When do the players usually start signing cards for elite?

 

[Avonc]

I'd like Nikorima, no he's South's now.
YG Walsh
LS D WS or A FB

See what happens........

 

[Mattstorm]

Papenhuyzen, Grant or Asofa-Solomona for LS

Coates or Reimis Smith maybe for YG

 

[Sharks16]

Papenhuyzen, Grant or Asofa-Solomona for LS

Coates or Reimis Smith maybe for YG

Harry Grant or Papenhuyzen be the new Ponga card .

A Nicho Hynes be a good card for the sharks . Not sure about the LS ,pretty young team atm and hard to pick . Wade Graham and Fifita have had plenty so maybe a Moylan ?

I’d be happy with an Api LS sig, given last chance for one in a Panthers jersey. But a To’o would be rad too.
Young gun would have to be Tago or May.

Should they replace Spotlight, I would happily back a 5 card high end set of top 5 players of previous year (according to Almanac). I think Dynamic did this for first couple years. So a real throw back. Yes, Panthers friendly, but surely there can be one cool set based on form players of the year rather than having to represent every club in a 16 or 32 card set.
Yes, when your club is rubbish you get less inserts, but to the victors go the spoils.

For the Knights I would like Frizell LS and Best or Young YG

A NSW player would be nice , but a Lockyer would be a massive improvement on last year. You think they will continue both the ball and boot patches ?

Has to be a NSW player this year just not Mr Gallen. Andrew Johns would be a huge step up from Boyd. Problem would be getting a boot or ball for other patches.

I reckon you will see Lockyer next year as the Masters Player

It has been hard enough to get the players to sign neatly in the space provided as it is, but they have really cramped them out this year. We could see some pretty messy looking cards I'd guess.

What is that, a thin slice of 15% of the card that is realistically available for the signature on an autograph card?

100% agree with this.... the overall design isn't bad, its just they have plonked the logo down the bottom right in the big white signing space and this is horrendous from a design perspective.......players will now have to cramp their auto into this space.....and as you can see this first signers hasn't been successful.

It pains me to say this but after 10+ years of making cards, TLA should know better here.

Yeah I know mate , I’m just dreaming . Andrew Johns would be a sought after set . Dreading the prices if it was .

Well I wish Warriors Murchie had less space to sign last year

Yeah, there is a reason I make all of my own cards these days!! I care about quality control!
