It seems WP rugby is being allowed and protected to cheat within the system, the same is not being afforded to the other unions, or are they ?
One wonders how the systems of our rugby can be so manipulated?
A few years ago while Rassie Erasmus was coaching the Cheetahs a huge problem arose when between the Cheetahs and the Northern Free State a player loan and play arrangement was made, players such as Hennie Danniler whilst out of form went to play for the NFS team and vice versa.
Thus playing for 2 different unions at the same time in the same year, this brought about anger from unions like WP and SWD that laid a complaint to the SA rugby board.
Now a few years later we find WP rugby doing the same with Rassie Erasmus at the helm doing the same thing but even taking it a step further, we have seen the whole season how WP players have been playing for Boland.
It is now reported that Boland rugby is buying overseas players, but who will be available to play for WP?How can one still call Boland a rugby union on its own?
We all know that Boland rugby union was bankrupt just a year ago, and that even recently had a problem with paying salaries.
Now they are offering big bonuses etc? And buying overseas stars?I have no doubt this is going to cause waves within SA rugby, but I say fight fire with fire.
It is a Professional era and maybe time the other big unions followed suite, I mean surely if WP is allowed to enlarge their player pool through another union and play them as they want, then surely other unions should be allowed to do the same.
It is not only allowing for a much larger player pool, but it is allowing the excess players to play rugby for another union to stay match fit, so when for example a playing is injured at WP then they draw on their reserves playing for Boland.
This begs the question why the Sharks and Bulls unions are not following suite?Is it not time the Sharks brought out Northern Natal rugby and made a 2nd Sharks team?Should the Bulls not buy out the Falcons and make a 2nd Bulls team?
Surely if the Sharks for example bought more big name players and revived the old NNatal rugby union, along with their present fringe players, they could make a very strong 2nd team, and whenever the Sharks have a lot of Springboks or injuries just pull from their 2nd team.
I mean this 2nd team would be Match fit not so?
I personally think it’s wrong and should be stopped, if Boland wants to be a rugby union it should be standing on its own 2 feet and have its own sponsors, just as the other small unions are doing.
If not its time the other big unions made use of this loop hole provided by Sarfu, we all know the Bulls and Sharks have enough money and sponsors to do exactly what WP rugby is doing.
#117 See you’re having a whale of a time here with the Flou Bulle.
Praat samblief Afrikaans en s t a d i g dat hulle kan verstaan.
Ingels she’s not big in Pretoorsdorp.

Die Cheetah voorry is ook ‘n kuk scary smiley vir die Flou Bulle.
Hulle beter vir Werner ‘n doek aansit voor die game want hy gaan homself bekuk by die eerste skrum.
Saying and doing it is two diFFerent things!
on the rugbyfield at least
Mah reality geld most nie vir die maNNe van slAApstad nie!
LEGENDS!

Ja, ek moet te veel konsentreer as ek Afrikaans skryf en praat…
Ek prefer my Kaaps. Ma nou ja, my Kaaps krap te veel Afrikaanse kuiwe deurmeka, so nou hou ekkit ma SABC 3.
Boland en WP het niks met mekaar te doen nie. Die berig is baie swak jornalistiek – en op geen feite gebaseer nie – shocking!
Boland het borge wat wag – maar wat alles afhang van of hulle in die Currie Cup gaan speel. Die R1milj wat belowe is, is gebaseer as hulle in die CC bly, en is geneem van volgende jaar se begroting.
Die oorseese spelers sal deur borge hierheen gebring word – nie die unie as sulks nie. Die spelers by Boland kry nie eers wedstryd geld nie – so gun hulle die borge – en hou op moan oor WP!!
Gaan doen eers navorsing, voor julle sulke stront publiseer!
DEAR ABBY ADMITTED THAT SHE WAS AT A LOSS TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:
Dear Abby,
A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together and I’ve never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?
Dear Abby,
What can I do about all the sex, nudity, fowl language and violence on my VCR?
Dear Abby,
I have a man I can’t trust. He cheats so much, I’m not even sure the baby I’m carrying is his.
Dear Abby,
I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It’s getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don’t know him well enough to discuss money with him.
Dear Abby,
I’ve suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.
Dear Abby,
Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
Dear Abby,
I joined the Navy to see the world. I’ve seen it. Now how do I get out?
Dear Abby,
My forty-year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy.
Dear Abby,
I was married to Bill for three months and I didn’t know he drank until one night he came home sober.
Dear Abby,
My mother is mean and short tempered. I think she is going through mental pause.
Dear Abby,
You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex and he is a doctor. Now what do I do?
Remember ~ these people can vote!!
#125 Ex Player
Om hier te vra jy moet ophou moan oor die WP is net so goed jy vee jou gat met kak af. Help nokkol.
Isi – Seker ook waar.
Dis meer die berig wat swak is – en storie wat gepubliseer word – en as feite afgespeel word – maar sonder enige ondersoek na die waarheid.
WP is soos ‘n broer in die tronk, jy’s lief vir hom maar jy wil nie oor hom praat nie…
128
Stem saam Ex player. Kom ons gee feite: WP het laas die CC in 2001 gewen. hehehe
129
Weet darem nie Valk. Kan n ou lief wees vir WP?!
Ek dink ek het die chat bietjie laat ontdek, maar nou ja, ek gaan maar my 10 cent ingooi.
As daar nie reels is wat dit keer nie, wat is fout daarmee?
Dis dalk (defnitief) onsportief en oneties, maar as dit so groot probleem is, moet die ander unies dit met Saru opneem, en ‘n reel teen dit maak.
Dis als negatief. Die positief wat mens hieruit kan sien is as volg…
Baie jong spelers word weg gelok van unies soos die WP en Cheetahs deur ander unies agv ‘n verskeidenheid redes. Een van die groot probleme by WP is dat daar baie ander spelers is, en een van die groot probleme by die Cheetahs is dat daar geld probleme is.
Nou, net soos wat WP vanjaar die probleem opgelos het, hul diepte gebou het en jong ouens kans gegee het, kan die Cheetahs ook bv. spelers aan die Grikwas leen met ‘n ooreenkoms dat die Grikwas bv. 25% van hul salarisse betaal. Hulle kan speel vir die Grikwas, maar in die geval van ‘n beserings krisies mag die Cheetahs, as “hoof aandeel houers” die speler oproep. Na ‘n afgesproke tydperk, wanneer die ooreenkoms verby is, het die Cheetahs eerste opsie om die speler terug te koop.
Kom ons se elke groot Unie in SA het so ooreenkoms. WP-Boland, Cheetahs-Grikwas, Sharks-Valke, Lions-Pumas en Bulle-Luiperde.
Op die manier, met finansiele, strukturele en speler bydra, kan die 5 Unies die kleineres help, en sodoende meer spelers ontwikkel (goed vir SA) en die vlak van die plaaslike kompetisie lig.
Daar sal ‘n dag kom wat die kleiner Unies stelselmatig op hul eie voete kan staan, maar daai dag het nog nie gekom nie. En tot dan, mors hulle net elke naweek ‘n groter span, en betalende kykers/ondersteuners, se tyd met rugby wat net nie kan by hou met die groot perde nie. Dink aan vanjaar se games tussen bv. Boland en die Bulle. Wie wil nou betaal daarvoor, en hoe help dit rugby in SA?
Mens kan se, ja, die WP cheat en Rassie is te slim vir homself, of mens kan die positiewe daarin sien.
Ek hoop dat die dag bunnekort sal kom dat ons 8 spanne het wat naweek in en uit kompeteer in die CB Premier komp. Dan sal dinge nou EERS opwindend raak!
ex player if you read carefull mate you will find many question marks?
noone has stated this to be 100 % facts , but questions are being asked
now take morne or greenpoint gunner who has responded with thought
they give facts and different viewpoint of how things could be
relax boet
The Lions player that was accused of biteing has been cleared if anyone is interested.
He must have read what i said about the other oke smothering him and he couldnt breath and used it as his defence lol.
But seriously i am pleased for him.
hey sweety miss tree lol
i made a statement that without facts he cannot be banned on keo after this biting incident and i was slated to no end
i said it could even be possible the wp player bit himself
i used the fake blood stories that happened in england
oh hell they came down on me like a ton of shit
now there is no proof van dyk bit the wp player , so not guilty
so you see either way he was bitten or was he?? did a biter just get off scott free?? did the wp player bite himself and fake it to get the lions player sent off??
see all unanswered questions
i for one hope the wp player was bitten but sadly a offender got off scott free, rather then a fake biting incident , to me thats something we dont need in our rugby
mirrag loskoppietjie gaan dit goed??
is julle reg vir saterdag??
sal my b span die knoop deurhak?? hehehehe
I am sticking to he couldnt breath and had to bite so he could draw breath.
I just cant see a young player ruining his career and reputation on a whim.
boompie dawling we can only speculate lol
jACO V D WESTHUYZEN is returningto the Bulls for the Super 14 season. I am full of it today. 🙂
Jaco van der Westhuyzen is on his way back to Pretoria after signing a contract with the Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd on Tuesday afternoon.
Van der Westhuyzen, 31, signed a three year deal with his beloved Bulls and will join his former teammates early in January 2010.
The former Springbok has been playing for NEC in Japan for the last six years, but he is extremely excited to reunite with his family and friends at Loftus Versfeld and he is determined to make a huge contribution on his return.
“The Bulls will always have a very special place in my heart.
“I am very eager to play for them and everything I do and want to do is centered around the Bulls.
“It was a very easy decision to make and I am very excited to join up with the team.”
Coach Frans Ludeke was visibly excited about Van der Westhuyzen’s signing and said the player’s willingness to return is a huge compliment for the structures that are in place at Loftus.
“Jaco is a senior player and his experience and versatility will add great value to the team.
“He is able to play fullback, flyhalf and wing and we know that he has what it takes to be a huge asset for us on and off the field.”
Ash – 79
That was so funny mate. Must say the people from the Cape have a brilliant sense of humour as good as the Scots.
Good one Ash. You do make me laugh.
Morne – 141
So he his coming back again. Well as long as he never climbs our posts at the Tank again……LOL.
Puma,
Hehhe,
Sorry, here at RT we get official press releases and that was one of them.
Morne – 144
LOL. Can still see him on top of our posts….hehehe.
This oke is back and forward from Japan to the Bulls all the time. Hope he settles down there now.
Puma,
He signed a 3 year deal so I guess he is back for good.
Morne,
Yip, it looks like it if he has signed a 3 year deal. That will take him to 35. Think he is turning 32 right now.
Niemand wil opmy post reply nie :huil glimlaggie:
