298@ Puma – I said as much, when our visitors are online, then we should oblige out of common decency.
Anyway, I’m off to Loftus… hope I do not get stopped by a Police Van again….. eishhhhhhh!
Goooooooooooooooooi Mieliessssssssssss!
301 – GBS, Enjoy it. Go the Bulls. Get the 5 points too.
The Bulls Game thread will appear at 14:25 (9 minutes from now) and the Stormers thread will appear at 17:45.
KingPaul will handle the Stormers game for us.
See you from the hallowed grounds of Loftus later.
GBS
What happened…with the police van?
300 – Walla, I never saw it than goodness. Close games like that almost give me heart failure…..hahaha.
We must just play our youngsters now. Nothing to lose at all.
We have been unlucky but need to try something new now.
Good luck to Brumbies Walla. Was not sure if your team was Tahs or Brumbies.
304@ Walla – The day of the Bulls / Brumbies game 5 Cops in a bloody van wanted to arrest me for talking on my Cell whilst driving….. Tell you what, priorities are truly screwed with the cops here.
306 – GBS, switched that bloody phone off this time 😆
Have to agree, instead of fighting crime they are lookint out for the petty stuff.
GBS
When a good team is playn good rugga they deserve to win heaps and by heaps. The bulls have been the most consistent and they should win.
They will win tonight.
A team has to win their home games…they Bulls have been winning them well.
I remember the days when the Bulls were the whipping boys in S12 which was disappointing because I used to follow the bulle when Burger Geldenhuys was playing.
Okay back for the Bulls. Game. Will watch the Sharks game tomorrow morning. No rush now to see what we done wrong or right. We lost and pleased I missed the game.
Sorry for my Sharkies though it was very close it seems. We sure are unlucky this year.
GBS, enjoy the game at Loftus. Go the Bulls get the bonus too.
Cheers all back later.
GBS 306

310@ Walla – No, I berated them, told them that their focus was screwed…. talked myself out of it in 25 minutes….. I was NOT going to offer a bribe… fark them

Cheers mate.
Puma
