why not bring out 300 game case cards ? didnt the AFL get these?
Not enough NRL players make it to 300.
200 games to get a case card. Gallen has 200 games to his name (wikipedia) so should be a case card this year. Luke Burt has 244 games to his name. Not bad for a nobody. I think he deserves a case card. Plus he's never been caught having a pee in the street.
Yeah exactly, he's been a great guy and a good rolemodel. Just coz he hasn't played 20 origins doesn't mean he hasn't done a good job and doesn't deserve recognition for playing 200. I've seen him do some freakish things in his time, actually. He would have done a miles better job than some of the NSW wingers over the years!

Getting back on topic i blame Steve Wang as much as Select for the Champions crap we get. As the sole distributer he is the one passing back all tge feedback on whats selling. Its why there is no cricket cards anymore from select.
im so bored with it i have started collecting mlb and nfl. For the same price as a team of the year card i can get a gameused bat or glove or uniform card. Sad really...
Oh cmon, Select would know though ... their facebook and this site gets flooded with complaints and criticism after every signle release!
It's like the Knights since Tinkler have taken over. He's a very successful businessman. He dropped prices to games and membership prices significantly and the result was a 30% increase in crowds in 2011. Memberships are at all time highs for 2013.
Like the dodgy Knights administration before Tinkler took over, Select don't realise that the better quality/more exciting product they produce, the better their sales will be. It will cost more to produce, but will lead to an increase in profit.
Case in point - their crap 2009 Champions set. Put in the minimum effort and outlay because people will buy it anyway. It obviously didn't work that time, but they just have no sense of ambition to produce a product that will really create excitement and sell a whole lot more.
