TLA Traders 2021 Official Thread

I wonder what the Priority hits will be this time around?

Priority is going to be very hard to get, I think that a box purchase may only be available when you purchase a case.
 
I am interested in the next Legends cards....
I had a look at the older members I feel they should engage before more current players, of the Team of the Century members;

I hope this isn’t the case. I think people who actively follow the hobby all had access to priority last year. I don’t remember hearing people complaining about missing out on the initial sales. And to be honest, if people missed the boat, that’s their problem. It was advertised well in advance. Look at how Select operate with their limited AFL releases - I like this. I think if the requirement was to buy a case, sales would be down and people would be more likely to buy from the secondary market.

I agree but I know the demand will be much higher this year with the jump in collectors, knowledge that the Priority hits have the potential for big $ and the potential for a stacked box.

I would be happy with the one per customer standard / priority box combo again, that was very fair.

Due to the popularity in box breaks, I wonder if more Priority will be kept aside for this purpose also.

Time will tell I guess.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't last year TLA advise that Priority would be available direct to the public and then the day before they were to go on sale they advised the following as posted by @Matt26 ?

Just had this email from TLA:

Just letting you know that Priority case is sold out and will only be available through the dealers.

That appears to mean that the cases that were due to be sold tomorrow online direct through TLA will now not happen.
Doesn't sound like equal opportunity to me.

Totally understand how you feel but if the Dealers were to be allocated 1 Box of Priority to 1 Case of Traders then I am not sure how they can do it the way they did it last year .. Priority allocation was totally different last year .....

I’m guessing it’s too late for production but Josh Mansour finally in a Bunnies jersey!!! Can’t believe John Lang let him go ten years ago!!! Can’t believe the Panthers let him go!!!

The Panthers said after 2021 he was free to leave as they weren't going to offer him another contract. So they upgraded Charlie Staines and said to Mansour if you get a longer term deal, we wont stand in your way.

That money now frees up the Panthers to start looking at next years off contract players which there are a few bigger names:

Kurt Capewell, Stephen Crichton, Robert Jennings (signed for 2021), Mitchell Kenny, Jarome Luai, Josh Mansour, Tyrone May, Brent Naden, Jaeman Salmon (signed for 2021), Scott Sorensen (signed for 2021), Isaah Yeo

You may see Mansour make an appearance in Elite if you are lucky!

Double standard by clubs & players, look at when players hold clubs to ransom for more pay...... community losses there minds clubs cry poor and “loyalty”. Yet they Penrith freeze mansour out, Rooster blame Flanagan..... crazy stuff really.

Its not sport any more, its business.

My biggest gripe is that the Panthers being a "feeder/development club" we get no benefit at all from players the club has developed when they move to other teams.

I think that there should be much greater salary cap incentives for teams that develop players.

Anyway, is it the 19th yet? I want to see some cards!
