Overall 2011 select NRL Strike is a winner for me. Even though Select have not gone out on a limb with any major new innovations or created any major new card sets the quality in this set is a great improvement. The inclusion on the 2009 Insert sets that were missed last year because of no series 2 release makes for a wide range of cards to hit. The only minor let down is the design of the strike logo which does not add any design value to the cards at all. I think in not producing a parallel set for this release Select does step away from the pattern of collections and some will see this as a good thing and others will be disappointed. I personally think this is a breathe of fresh air and do not miss the parallel at all.

Common CardsThe common cards are a vast improvement on some recent designs. The cross mark representing the strike brand gives the collection a great brand identity. The eleven player cards for each team feature the players emerging from this cross design. The backs of the cards are also striking in the reverse pattern with the cross shape in the color of the team. The quality of the commons is also an improvement on some other recent release. The cards have a reasonable stock thickness and a nice glossy finish. Very few damaged cards or misprints have come out of packets and all cards seem to be cut neatly on the edges.
With the 11 player cards the team logo card makes up the twelve card team set. One team logo card for each team on the same cross design as the player cards. 16 logo cards in all one for each NRL team. SALE PRICE GUIDE

Premiership Predictors ( 1:36 Packets )Always a favourite amongst collectors and sellers a like this set delivers. The cards have a nice foil finish with a striking design. The opportunity for collectors to purchase all 16 cards to redeem is too much to resist or search for your favourite to win the premiership and wait until the first weekend in October to realise your success. Overall this set is a winner the only draw back being some cards have come out of packets with a crease mark on the front.

Top Prospects Signatures (1:36 Packets )This 16 card set hit one per box is the staple attraction for Series 2 collectors and is what sets this release apart from the cheaper series 1 release. The cards are a nice design and in general the signatures are neat and crisp. The selction of players may not necessarily set the world on fire but a few stand out players are included. It's always the challenge to predict who will turn into the superstars of the game. For me keep a watch on Kieran Foran & Nathan Gardner.
