The Official 2017 ESP/TLA NRL TRADERS thread. (Some new signing images added)

[sharkiefan0102]

Maloney next yr.only been with the team for a 1yr. Townsend is a sharks Junior so I think he deserves the card more

 

[nznrl]

Traders - Vatuvei
Elite - Matulino LS (Although I think Hoffman is likely), and Hingano/Fusitua YG (but could be Roache, Lisone, Vete or Sipley too).

I don't think Isaac Luke has ever had a signature card either.

 

[hobo]

Lets get it back on topic......who would you like to see signing for your team?

For me the ideal scenario would be:

Traders: Tyrone Peachey

Elite: Trent Merrin (LS) & Nathan Cleary (YG)

Merrin has already has a LS sig surely they wouldn't do him again.

Traders: Widdop

Elite: Frizzell (LS) & Milne / Host / Leilua (YG)

Xtreme: Joel Thompson

 

[3bet]

For me these would be cool

Traders: Cody Walker or Damien Cook

Elite: Hymel Hunt YG & Sammy Burgess LS

Agreed JJ.
Bryson has given us good service. I wouldn't have an issue with a Traders sig there.

 

[j0hn]

Roosters wish list...

Traders Aubusson
YG Watson
LS Cordner

 

[troy titans]

Titans
Traders - Hurrell (confirmed)
YG - Paasi/Pulu
LS - Hayne
Jersey card - James

 

[joeyhonson]

I really hope they don't do a Hodkinson sig for the Knights....be worth as much as Darius.

Unless of course it's a Passing Sensation Signature card.....he's got that covered.

Is Trent on the move after this season or are you just wishful

 

[joeyhonson]

Wishful thinking at this stage. He just needs to take the line on a bit. All he does is catch and pas, catch and pass.....

I miss the days when the 'special' cards were of the best players instead of taking it in turns.

I like getting different sig cards of my team

I know for a fact that some people are over how many Thurston sig cards there are.

 

[Davebvd]

I can see it works both ways. But it's sometimes frustrating looking/paying for a signature card of a player who did nothing.

I can see it works both ways. But it's sometimes frustrating looking/paying for a signature card of a player who did nothing.

Look at parra's in 2016, traders - watmough (played 0 games), elite - Foran (played 9 games and left the club) and Pritchard (15 games give or take).

With the Foran having different stickers on them most collectors bought 2 league sensation.

Hopefully this year we get some better picks like Jennings, mau, Scott, Norman and French for the YG

 

[Davebvd]

Just the point I meant.
I'm still chasing an Ofahengaue signature card. A guy who can rarely make the starting lineup.

Doing something like the 1 of 1 cards 2016 Elite was an awesome idea. But for cards that rare and valuable they really should be the 4 best players in the game.

Any official update on what to expect in this series? Not long until the season kicks off.

No ESP aren't real forthcoming with details on their releases which is very disappointing.

They should be releasing pics of players signing the sas signatures etc to build up for this release but they miss the trick on this one

 

[Brendan_B]

I am sure all three levels of SAS signatures are back, premiership predictors, dynamic duos (with a new and exciting twist apparently), legends signatures and apparently loads more value than previous releases.

 

[Matt26]

Just had word from ESP/TLA that we can expect the sell sheet on Friday.

Have to say with all of the bits and pieces I've heard this looks a promising release.

Cheers

Awesome time to get excited

What's the bet on the sell sheet there will be the hurrell sas sig card so they don't have to release anymore details then the bare minimum.

When can we expect the power play sell sheet @Matt26

Probably very soon after.

The Sell Sheet should have the overview of the product but I wouldn't expect to see odds or a checklist just yet.

Hoping this set will be a good one!
