Well, at least my SuperBru and my R-T Competition is 7 from 7…. full house!!
Jackpot… bing, bing, bing!!!
176 – Valk you want those idiot Dup Brother back? Take em back for free 😀 They are useless both of em.
Lost it for the Sharks.
gbs,
Geluk met gister, maar as daai aanslaan met die telling op 31 – 37 nie plaasgevind het nie was dinge anders.
Verdediging was in elk geval maar bra swak.
Dis julle teen die Crusaders dink ek.
Eish !!! i am actually laughing, i mean really, am so worried Puma is going to have a heart attack with all these emotions gooing thru him. Night all.
bdb het jy daai arme lot in die pawiljoene gesien. Daai gesigte het amper gelyk soos in 2007.
Maar nee hel sorry Sharkies , amper
181 – Ag, GBS I feel disappointed. Thought we had it there. Time 82min thought we won it after that penalty by Rory. The the other Dup brother gives away a penalty. Bugger the two of those brothers are brainless both of them.
Puma, commisserations, friend!
Fark, the 2 Dupies are indeed doffff!!
Volgende week teen die omgekrapte Ctahs. Die span wat daar verloor gaan opdraande hê vorentoe.
Puma,
Sure, Os will klap some discipline into them. Mind you he can moer the entire FS tight five while he’s at it.
183
valk en as die krag nie afgegaan het nie…….. 😆 just joking.
187
as daai Duppe wil trek dink ek die Sharks unie sal hul trek sponser
Folks, I’ve got some pics of this game and the Stormers game which I will now prepare to put on….
180 – KingPaul, We will struggle from here for sure. We have a awful tour coming. Play all the top teams on their home turf. Really had to win tonight and could have but gave that penalty away right on the end there.
Good luck to your team though. Think Stormers and Bulls will fly the SA flag for us this year. Bulls looking awesome like the champs they are. Bulls looking our best side.
186: Jammer Puma, maar dinge lyk sleg nou daar met jou span. Sal maar vir die bulle moet skree, jong ! 😉
Allo Manne…Jammer vir die Sharks…Dit was nie nodig nie!..Puma, that last penalty wasn’t against Jannie Dup..it was against Strauss for playing the ball from an offside position.
190: Rassie terug in Bloem ?
189 – Valk, Jeepers thought we had won it there 82min on the clock then game goes on and the other Dup brother gives away a penalty. Feel disappointed. WE have a monster tour coming up.
Think Sharks are a goner. Wont win much on the road. Play all the top teams on their own turf.
193@ Puma – Sharks can still turn it around, but you know what is most worrying (here and in the warm-up games), their absolute inability to maufacture tries… most notably in the backline.
…. and the dicipline… shocking
195 – Polla, Looked like it was JdP that gave that penalty away. Bissie also gave one away where they got 3 points.
Ag, just disappointed really.
Sounds like Puma has his own NakalaDuppie like we had last year!…lol
Sharks get 1 Log Point… for the loss within 7…..
Chiefs only get 4 Log points no bonus for tries….
2 Teams at the top of the Log… Bulls and Saders
Surprized?? Not really!
183,
Eksdom se baba daai broer.
#195, No The ref called Strauss for playing the ball from offside…it wasnt JdP…check again on PVR.
198 – Our dicipline was not good then it only came from the same few players.
We will struggle on our tour far too difficult. Play most of our games away and against top teams. Needed this win tonight. Should have had it. Pity about that last penalty.
Good luck to Bulls GBS. They look by far the best side from South Africa. See Bulls beating Brumbies easy next week too.
Okay that is me out of here now.
Cheers all.
Nog 12 rondtes, baie kan nog gebeur, hou goeie moed !
The 2 Duppies… the Doctor and the Mental Patient!
Hehehehehe
Hey GBS..its only the 1st round…watch this space!…
203 – Polla maybe I am wrong. Will check tomorrow. Then we also had Smit and Bissie off so played 20min with 14 men. Can never win like that. We almost did but that last penalty cost us.
Cheer Polla out of here now.
201: Saders was baie gelukkig om daardie bonuspunt te kry. Maar as McCaw en al hul beseerdes terug is, en so ook die Bulle s’n, dan lyk dit na die 2 spanne om te klop. Stormers en Canes kan ook daar wees, so ook Brumbies. Ctahs kan dark horse wees.
One gets the feeling that it’s the end of an era for the Sharks, one where they promised much but never truly delivered.
They need to rebuild.
I have a much better feeling about next friday than I had about yesterday.
In elk geval cheers.
