The Sharks are set to gain the services of new players within the near future, this comes after the dissapointing exit in the Currie Cup semi finals at the hands of the Free State Cheetahs.

It seems the Lions are set to lose more players as the speculation of these two mentioned players grow stronger and stronger.

With the joy in the Lions camp of gaining the services of former Sharks coach, and assistant Springbok backline coach, so comes possible disappointments as news of more players leaving the Union.

Following the news of Jaque Fourie’s arbitration victory, follows the news that 3 more players are on their way out.

With lock Gerhard Mostert who has already signed, and is training with the sharks already, and now being followed by Louis Ludick and Willem Alberts.

It is expected that the players will sign 2 year contracts starting as of 1st November 2009, according to Sharks chief executive Brian Van Zyl the players are eager to join the Sharks and should not have a problem winning an arbitration as their contracts with the Lions union is exactly the same as that of Jaque Fourie.

With the Lions having lost its case against Fourie it is unlikely for them to stand in the way of Ludick and Alberts .

The “get out “ clause in the case of Fourie , Alberts and Ludick apparently revolves around a clause that states “the parties agree to review the remuneration for 2010”.

According to Jaque Fourie’s agent Peet Van Zyl, Jaque will put pen to paper within the next dew days with the Western Province Union.
