2023 NRL Elite Official Thread

On face value, it definitely seems a step up from last year and at $10 a packet they really needed to. The Masters series is a great concept, hope they long continue with this. Hopefully the LST ‘’pop’ in hand again like they did in 2020. A card of that rarity should standout.

The dual signature is a great concept, hopefully not a one off.

All stars, I just don’t think the popularity is there among collectors. The jersey patch and booklet signature is tired, needs a new theme. A dual signature for each team would be ideal.

Totally agree with the popularity of the All Stars, it's just not quite there. Really need top tier players in that set to make it work. If they can replace them with Origin it would take Elite to the next level.

Not brother related (but you will laugh about this comment when you see it) but more iconic for this team and its history ahead.

I think expanding the legends to either a club based series or a national based series (e.g PNG/Tonga/Fiji/NZ/Samoa) would be a great move. Imagine a Marcus Bai PNG signature or a Noa Nadruku Fiji one

Or even an Nathan Blacklock.Dragons/Hull/Indigenous. Anything .

How would a league sensation & young gun dual signed sig go? They are both signing already anyway

I don’t mind it but would prefer it to be a master and apprentice theme.

Alternately, I like a past and present dual auto.

Renouf / Staggs
Tongue / Horsburgh

You get the idea.

 

[Mattstorm]

Smith/Grant
Slater/Papenhuyzen
Lazarus/Asofa-Solomona
Inglis/Olam
Cronk/Hughes
Bai/Warbrick
Kearns/Welch
Kearney/Loiero

I like this idea

You mean a time warp card, like dynamic done.

[Mattstorm]

I can dream

 

[Sharks16]

Well Pink Diamond Mojo may be a thing........ for the NRLW.

Sounds a tad sleazy when you say it out loud

 

[Sharks16]

Ryan Papenhuyzen just confirmed he is one of the players signing elite this year.​

Hasn’t played a game so I suppose he’s got plenty of time . Probably sprained his wrist he’s that injury prone

 

[Mattstorm]

Any news on the checklist?
