    Eish! Dis taai…Spies, FDP, Steyn, Wynand were all flippen good in the s14. Too close…give it to Brussouw!

  • 2

    Dink ook dit gaan Brussouw toe gaan

  • 3

    No way it can go to brussouw, must be Fdup or Wynand.

    It would have to be a Bulls player for SA Super 14 Player of the year, Cheetahs performed too poorly in the Super 14.

    My Pick would be Morne Steyn.

    Brussouw however could easily be a serious contender for rookie of the year, seeing as last year’s EOY Tour would fall within this year’s awards as well, if I’m correct.

    I have just received mail with some hilarious clips of your discourse with Valkyrie.
    Please dont’t wast your energy on that do@s bro.
    You know who that is, don’t you….MK aka Lukeis Baas aka LukeisKing aka Tulsa aka SanKing aka….aka…aka….?
    He was banned as MK recently, back under another nick, as usual.
    Daai ou is bedwelmd, glo my, jy mors jou tyd op straatkinders, los hom….

    Cheers, talk laters, just thought you should know, in case you didn’t.

    One must be carefull not to oversee the value of the old campainers like Matfield, Botha, John Smit etc.
    Brussow and Steyn are new kids on the block and merely did what we expect the mentioned senior players do week in and week out.
    I would through my vote behind F dP.

  • 21

    @isigidi – 20

    FdP or MS, with HB as a dark horse (imo)

  • 22

    Ek sal gaan vir:

    speler van die jaar in die wêreld: FDP
    In S14: WO

  • 23

    @SA Barbarians – Hallo oudstes.
    Wynand Olivier moes nie daar gewees het nie. Hy het weinig SA gespoeel en meesal van die bench. Indien hy so ‘n briljante S14 gehad het, sou mens verwag hy sou ‘n greelde insluiting in die Bokke begin span wees.
    Ek sou Stefan Terblanche at least as ‘n nominee wou sien.

  • 24

    @isigidi – 23

    Oudstes… met wie praat jy nou? 🙂

    Ja, goeie punt. ST het ‘n moerse seisoen gehad – miskien nog nie klaar nie hehehe

  • 25

    23@isigidi – Ig, het jy S14 gekyk ? Selfs oorsese kommentators het ook gesê WO was die beste S14 binnesenter.

    Toemaar, ek glo nogsteeds JDV moet ons bokke binnesenter wees, as hy beskikbaar is, maar WO was in die S14 SA se beste senter.

    Ek sal ook Stefan as CB speler vd jaar nomineer.

  • 26

    @SA Barbarians – Ag sorry man, ek’t jou met GBS verwar.
    En hoe gaan dit vandag jongman? :rotfl:

  • 27

    @isigidi – 26

    O OK hehehehe

    Lekker chilled so tussenin. Hoop die nat weer hou aan tot Sondag. Dis moerse verfrissend en ook lekker vir ruggas 🙂

  • 28

    @bdb – Ja wel, oorsese kommentators dink Richi McCaw is ‘n beter fetcher as Brussow.

    My punt is: Speler van die jaar moet nie gedebateeer word as ‘n nominee nie. Hy moet homself kies. Sê weer, as WO so goed was, hoekom was hy nie in die oorspronklike Bok groep nie.
    En by the way, ek sou nie huil as hulle hom bo De Villiers gekies het nie. hy was goed in S14, maar nie POY materiaal.

  • 29

    28@isigidi – WO is genomineer vir S14 speler vd jaar, nie POY nie.

    My POY is tussen FDP, JS, Brussow en MS. Sal nie omgee as hul hom vir JS gee nie, hy gaan nie weer baie kanse kry nie.

    Maar as jy die hele jaar in ag neem, lyk dit of FDP hom sal kry.

  • 30

    @bdb – Ek het bedoel S14 POY.
    Same difference.
    Anyway, groente aan almal by die huis, Gaan nou maak soos rokkof.
    Adios rugby luvvas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
