NRL Insert Set......what would you create? (UPDATED WITH SOME NEWS)
- Thread starter Matt26
- Start date
I hope ESP could tell which ones we were serious about and which ones were a bit of fun.......I will die if their is a Michael Gordon injury subset.
I also think if Terry posted himself asking for constructive input you would have seen a great and higher quality response.

A redemption. I am being serious. Ref's are part of the game and should be involved too.
Sorry if anyone took this as a smart arse comment.

I can't think of a less appealing card, just my opinion, though!

How about the touch judges flag, or the refs whistle or the "old style" corner posts..

I'd love to see a set incorporate the footy parks in some way, say have a 'hometown hero' or 'crowd pleaser' clearcut on top of a birds-eye shot of each homeground. Could be a bit busy, but should be a styly way to do it.
In terms of honouring older players, I always enjoyed the Dally M Distinctions subset that Dynamic did back for its Extreme set, and its really a style of set that Select never bothered to mine. I agree there are a lot of stat orientated themes - 100 Try Club, Offload Kings, Line-break masters, one club career, etc - that have either never been touched or not since Dynamic.
I think there's always a place for rookie inserts, but Select went overboard with that huge 2011 Champions set and then this year's Rated Rookies, and were too slow to give them cards. Too many players, too much repetition and too many players who weren't actual rookies. I wonder if the NRL would ever allow a small Toyota Cup Prospects set...

I like the stadium idea. Maybe stadium seat relic cards. I have a few NFL card versions. All stadiums keep spare seats so I would think it's cheaper than buying a jersey. Would be pretty cool.
It's finally happened Hatter, you have lived up to your name and gone barking mad.

So do I, how hard would it be to take a great photo of a stadium and have it as part of your team set. Maybe even have some historical venue cards....the SCG, old Lang park, ANZ (Brisbane) maybe even the park where the first game was played.
Cheers

So what you're saying is, you'd be happy to have a slice of stadium seat that has had portly rumps farting pie and beer on it in a card, but not the sweat soiled jersey of the man in the middle?

But there ain't any SCG seats of that vintage still there.
Although...technically, we could go to NSO and steal some seats there, that used to be at the SCG
Redfern sold all their old green and red seats. One thing I thought: they were tiny. The second was: they were covered in bird shit and stank of urine. Bloody Julian O'Neill, I tell you. Needless to say, I didn't buy any.

Don't know if anyone said it but:
* ASADA Drug Test Player sample cards?
* Xray scans of injuries. 1 card is the player in uniform, the other like a mini x-ray or CT scan of the injury?
* 9 card subset of Ch 9 commentators on match day, Footy Show or the Roast discussing an on field incident and saying "it's not in his nature" Pic of commentator on back; mega motion of incident in question from the previous season.

And maybe a subset featuring players doctors.
Or go one step further and have the operation card.
How about a piece of Matt Bowen knee cartlidge in an operation worn patch.

That's it! That'd be unreal
