A few Strike goodies arrived today

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

The Storm one is taken, and not sure what to do with the Manly cards, not a huge fan, but nice for the collection i guess.

Also.... this is somewhat odd....

The bottom 5 lines on the Brett Stewart side make no sense. Its as if Select had some placeholder text in there and forgot to finish it off. Dodgy...... lol

Very nice, well done

Really nice pick ups bro.

What do you find odd? Reads fine to me.

"A superb support player with speed to burn, - opening try in their Grand Final win over the Warriors in another dominant display."

It is written as a statement.

Anyway, nice pick up.

It makes no sense. Its as if they've missed some words where the - is. They've made an unrelated point in the middle of a sentence. Read it out loud.

It should probably read "A superb support player with speed to burn, scoring the opening try in their Grand Final win over the Warriors in another dominant display"

The dash is a replacement for the words "scoring the" or "got the" or something similar, much in the same way an apostrophe is used in place of a letter.
It is assumed people are smart enough to insert the missing letters or words. It's ol' skool, something they wouldn't have taught in modern day English along with grammar. But it doesn't make it wrong, just means the person who wrote it comes from a different era and has been educated in a different way. It really is a reflection on the current state of todays education system and the knuckleheads teaching it. If oldies are expected to understand ch0pzta and all the current abbreviated words for texting or the lack of knowing how to spell, then this younger generation should understand something of the older generations scribe.

That said, there was plenty of room to insert the extra words to avoid confusion. But it is likely it was never even a consideration.

L8rz, Jim

Ohhh.. I can see that beautiful Storm card in my collection already.. Slater - I love you!!
