i cant say why but blake Austin has been told as of last friday his services are no longer required at penrith beyond this year...

another great sig selection for panther fans.
 
cool, the newsagent here said today they will be getting some in store in about 2 weeks which is the powerplay release isn't it?
 
This has probably been discussed already here and I clearly have no idea what i'm talking about but why is ESP Traders so much like past Select NRL series? Similiar card design concepts, insert ratios, folder supplier, etc etc... does ESP employ former Select staff? Does Select have anything to do with ESP? Are ESP so lazy they can't come up with their own ideas? Please note I really like the prelim look of the Traders series esp the retirements design... except for the pain in my ass it will be to get the Young Guns set with my limited budget.

Welcome to OCT.... don't hold back feel free to tell it as it is.

I love a good conspiracy theory but I think its just a lack of independant thought when it comes to the card trading business as a whole.

Cheers
Ross

Very well said. This looks exactly like a Select release in design to me too - I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since it's Series One and the budget on design would have been relatively low.

One Small Difference between ESP And select ESP Are Letting collectors Have A chance At A #1 card.
 
im annoyed that you think this looks like a select design.

selects designs usually look decent.
(inb4 someone links a gem card)

nah but seriously the designs are so plain. the layout of the set looks similar but card design wise the differences are huge
