Might be able to get him in round 26 then

Pretty sure he played 4 games.

 

[Jaede]

Agree i really like the selections so far for the eels as well, really looking forward to the release

 

[League Hub]

Loving Gubb & Vete for Warriors.

 

[MC_D]

Some of the run and guns should have been named present and future!

2. McGuire & Praker
10. G Bird & James
11. T Trbojevic & Stewart
13. Slater & Munster
15. Uate & Ross
17. Winterstein & O'neill
23. Inglis & Johnston


Also so how hell do these pre-sales know? only a matter of days and the rest will be on ebay too!

 

[Brendan_B]

The pre-seller is an ESP approved distributor

... what kind of combinations are those supposed to be. Stanley's barely even played once at the bulldogs.

I like the lesser players getting a low end card or two otherwise you would have the same old players.

The other thing to consider is that these cards are designed and production commenced using players and images from the first six rounds or so. I think Stanley started the year for the Dogs right?

FPN hadn't played for Canberra since round 6 or 7 and has now left the club. I am happy I have a lower end card to add to my Raiders PC of him

 

[Jaede]

The best thing about the information being leaked is the discussion it has brought back around the hobby, it's been a little quiet lately and not only that the excitement for the new release aswell, I hope esp can see the benefits from this.

 

[ghosty]

Reckon I'll be chasing Warriors and Storm in the Run & Guns

 

[Leith Holding]

I'm really liking the player selections for the eels so far

I think you'd be happy if you were a Warriors fan as well.

 

[Jaede]

[Rocket1908]

Why is Souths run + gun Clark and Gray? Aaron isn't a forward and Brock hasn't made his debut yet. That being said I dont mind that Gray has an insert

Brock? Is it not Jason Clark?

 

[Rocket1908]

Brock? Is it not Jason Clark?

Brock Gray is Aaron's brother. He's a second rower in the under 20s

Also there's 2 per card, Clark is 1 and Gray is supposedly the other

It's Jason Clark with Gray

 

[Missing Hinges]

Run and Gun started an an american basketball style of offense and typically relies on fast breaks while placing less emphasis on set plays. Translated to NRL, is could mean good offloaders, support players or line breakers maybe.
