Mitchell Moses RLWC 2026: His Best NRL Cards to Find
Mitchell Moses is out of RLWC 2026 after scans confirmed a high-grade calf muscle tear, with the ruling-out announced on 17 October 2026. He has 16 confirmed 2026 NRL League Heroes cards, ranging from a base card all the way to a redemption pull that falls roughly once per 72 hobby boxes. Here is the full collector checklist.
What Happened to Moses at RLWC 2026?
Moses sustained the injury during Australia's 24-22 win over New Zealand at Allianz Stadium on 15 October 2026. He tried to play on but left the field less than two minutes into the second half. Scans ruled out an early fracture concern and confirmed a high-grade muscle tear. Tom Dearden and Sam Walker step up in the halves for the Kangaroos' next match against Fiji, with Ethan Strange added to the 23-man squad.
There is a collector wrinkle worth knowing. Moses had only just switched allegiance from Lebanon, where he captained the Cedars at RLWC 2022, to Australia for this tournament. Because the RLWC 2026 Select product locked in its 12 Australian players before the official squad was announced, Moses does not appear in that checklist at all. There is no RLWC-branded card of Moses as a Kangaroo.

Which 2026 Moses Card Should I Chase?
The GB85 Game Breakers acetate is the one to bookmark. Clear acetate cards have a loyal fanbase among Australian collectors, they sit a clear notch above base inserts in scarcity at 1:4 packs, and the format makes the card pop in any binder page. Not so rare that finding one feels hopeless, not so common that everyone already has three.
If you pull one and want to gauge what similar copies are trading for in your network, snap a photo and run it through CardLoft to get eyes on it from people you actually know.
