The ongoing transfer saga involving Springbok centre Jaque Fourie’s intention to move to Western Province is set to go to court this week.
Fourie wants to join WP immediately, as his lawyer Frikkie Erasmus has previously said that the Lions “do not have a binding agreement” with the Bok No 13.
But the Lions argue that Fourie signed a valid contract with them that will only expire at the end of next season. The Lions’ lawyer, Johan van Gaalen, said Tuesday that the Lions will lodge their application at the Gauteng South High Court later this week.
Fourie is currently on a Tri-Nations tour with the Springboks in Australia and scored a try in their 32-25 win in Perth at the weekend.
“The Lions are most probably going to court. Jaque’s attorney has informed us that Jaque is going to Cape Town after the Tri-Nations,” Van Gaalen said. “If he does that, he is not complying with his agreement and responsibilities he has with the Lions.
“Everybody has to honour and respect agreements, and that is what the Lions want Jaque to do. Players are quick to complain if unions don’t honour contracts. The Lions don’t think that Jaque has a contract with them, they know it.
“We don’t want to have a trial by media on this matter, so we will see what happens in court. We will lodge the application during the course of this week.”
Erasmus said that he did not want to comment on the matter, but said that if any application is lodged against Fourie, it would be opposed.
“I don’t want to comment on the merits of the case in anticipation of a possible court procedure, but if an application is launched against Jaque, we will oppose it,” he said.
89@Stirling Woodcock – About 3 weeks now…
Ek sien Hylton Ackerman is dood. Sterkte aan sy familie.
Does anyone know how much they are offering him? and if he looses the courtcase wont he be a bit bitter that he has to stay and therefore not play to his full potential afterwards.
88@bdb – Eishhhhhhhh, ek weetie eers nie, en nou gans te lui om te loop soek !
@Treehugger – They can have him for free. Lekker by die see attitude wat vir hom wag.
@Stirling Woodcock –
We went public 10 days ago, but a few of us have been experimenting with the site since the 2nd week in August.
92@Ed_the_Lion – Dis sad.. ja, sterkte aan sy familie
(PS! Het jy die mail gekry wat ek netnou ge-CC het na onse webmasters toe ?)
@Ed_the_Lion –
Sad news.
Is his son still playing?
@grootblousmile – Gekry dnakie. Hte jy my kode en ons eie plugin code gesien?
@Pietman – I think so Pietman
93 @Treehugger -Although it doesn’t seem like it right now, I would hope he is more profesional than that. Must admit the same thought crossed my mind. Although not exactly the same scenario, Bakkies seemed to be very mature about his episode. Only a brave man would question his commitment to the Bulls’ cause
90 @Pietman – ek sien hy is so nou en dan ‘online’, maar dan skryf hy nie. Stil die laaste tyd.
95: sien Habana sê sy skuif na WP is ‘n ‘lewenstyl’ skuif, en nie ‘n ‘rugby’ skuif nie. Hy wil seker net vakansie hou en nie konsentreer om verdere bekers te wen nie ?
Maar, dan die volgende oomblik sê hy, hy bly in SA omdat die Bokke so goed doen en suksesvol is en hy wil help bou aan daardie sukses. Goed so.
Nou is my vraag: hoekom wil hy dan nie bly by die Bulle nie, hulle is mos ook suksesvol en besig om in die S14 reeks ook aan iets groots te bou.
Die man se oggend en aandpraatjies stem nie lekker ooreen nie.
99@Ed_the_Lion – Gesien ja, maar nog niks daarmee gedoen nie !
96 @Pietman – Cudos to all involved. Certainly harks back to the old days on that other website.
@grootblousmile – Gaan kyk gou my remix plug in. Kan nie meer die kode sien nie. bwahahahahaha. Ek het omtrent net 2 ure se slaap in. Gedink ek gaan hom kwaai regkry. Nou is hy heeltemal moekas toe. Ek maak erens ‘n klein fout, ek weet dit.
104@Stirling Woodcock – Wondeful place we have created here.. very bloody pleasant.. and some good rugby being discussed here.
Ja but Bakkies still liked the Bulls and when he came back he most proberly would have played for them again, dont think Jaque will have that attitude 🙂 And Ed the Lion i feel for you 😥
@Treehugger – Treehugger…I feel for you. bwahahahaha
@Ed_the_Lion – Eish get your mind out the gutter 😆 You ARE overtired. Speak another time got some nasty lightning and need to go hide under the bed or something .
@bdb – ek dink Habana weet dat die jaar nadat die bulle die s14 gewen het eindig hulle omtrent laaste. Dink nie hy is weer lus vir dit nie 😉

@Ed_the_Lion –
@K9-MonsterLeeu – 110, naand wysneus.
Arme Habana dat bloed nou dikker as water moet wees. …
Anders sou hy sy Pappie moertoe gestuur het, daai geld kan dalk net 2 jaar verdien word, sodra die bekers opdroog verdwyn die roem en ongelukkig is die brue dan klaar as.
Jinne mense, ek het gisteraand woesssssssss kak geslaap !
Het die heelnag flippen beplan aan ‘n uitkakbrief aan ‘n fokker wat my afpis… vanoggend het my vingers omtrent die ding getik op automatic… nou vang die gaap my…
@grootblousmile – Gaan slaap my maat. Ek dink ek gaan ook lunch tyd sommer net wegraak vir die dag.
116@Ed_the_Lion – Nee jinne, ek het nog baaaie om te doen voor ek kan kussing vryf…
117@grootblousmile – Ek aap nou sulke lang gape. Miskien ‘n redbull kry dan is ek weer kwaai.
