    superBul
    Ek het gewai by Stormers oor Luke Watson se kotsery, nie omdat hulle verloor het nie…..so daai ou wat sulke nonsens praat oor moffies wat oorloop na die Bulle se ma man, wie hy ookal mag wees.
    Tjeers, sien julle by die volgende wedstryd.

    vanstraaten @ 240
    is that personal opinion or fact?

  • 243

    @242 – Both.

  • 244

    Bulle en Stormers wen, is hul nr.1 en 2. Stormers behoort maklik te wen, maar die Bulle het ‘n moeilike een … 😉

  • 245

    bdb – You’re kidding right…

  • 246

    soooooooooooo
    does it go something like this?
    ….
    personal opinion: he’s a kak player
    incident on field: adi beats defender
    you go: ag he was lucky, most of the work was done before that anyway

    or another example
    personal opinion: he’s a kak player
    incident on field: adi gets beaten on defence
    you go: see? see? i told you!! this guy cant defend to save his live
    and
    you totally ignore what happened before that, even though it mightve added to his slip in defence!!

    sigh
    jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa right!!

    Can anyone enlighten me about what is wrong with our scrums in SA? Sharks had a few good hits but it looked like they were out muscled in the scrums. IMO if you don’t start from a solid platform you are always going to struggle.

  • 248

    Dude Adi have his good moments, so does Matt Dunning… Like that drop goal. Doing one or two good things doesn’t make up when you mess up when you need to be counted. He’s a senior player and the Sharks can’t trust in him… Like most of the other senior players…

  • 249

    247: wat is fout met ons skrums ? Antwoord: ons skrums gaan agtertoe, nie vorentoe nie. Van al die SA skrums, lyk die Bulle s’n so ver die sterktste, wie het nou dit verwag ?

  • 250

    sooooooooooo
    why single him out?

  • 251

    248: dink jy nog steeds MS is nie ‘n goeie losskakel nie ? 😀

  • 252

    bdb @ 249
    en wat vannie ballerinas/ light five etc etc etc
    vannie kaap?
    WIE HET NOU DIT VERWAG? 😉

  • 253

    bdb @ 251
    moenie soe wiesie
    almal het opinions
    soe nou en dan is mens maar net verkeerd en klaar!!

    komaan straatie, jy het darem seker al jou opinion oor daai een gechange, het jy nie?

  • 254

    252: Die ‘light five’ word net die ‘tight five’ as dit CB seisoen is en die Bokke is nie daar nie. O ja, en met so bietjie hul van Pro (WP) Legoete, dan het jul ‘n goeie skrum 😉

    bdb @ 254
    sien uit na nuweland later vanjaar!

  • 256

    anyone?

  • 258

    gbs @ 256
    skimp jy dalk dat ek my bankbesonderhede vir jou moet stuur? 😀
    ek meen, dit klink nie of jy weet wat jy met die vol beursie moet maak nie!! 😉

  • 259

    To my Sharks friends…

    It must be hard to have suffered 5 losses in a row, but the Tjarkies are not giving up and it is clear that they are working on their problems..

    Never forget, the Brumbies are a very good team, possibly heading for the semi’s

    Dicipline was better today, Goode is getting slightly better, there is better cohesion overall in Sharks play!

    Keep the heads up.

  • 260

    255: sien self ook baie uit daarna, hopelik het Bulle al genoeg punte, dan kan ons ons B-span stuur om die stryd meer gelyk te maak daar op Nuweland. 😉

    Was daar nie een CB semi op Loftus waar WP met volsterkte span gekom het, toe rus Bulle 13 spelers, en speel toe nogsteeds gelykop ? Kan nie onthou watter jaar dit was nie, maar MS het nog die laaste drie gedruk en oorgeskop.

  • 261

    251: Lyk my VanStraaten is bang om my vraag te antwoord, toe hardloop hy.

  • 262

    gbs @ 259
    agree
    and one team in the past did manage to win the super competition from a similar position!!
    gonna be hard though, but can still be done

  • 263

    @ 249 Ok, now that you have told me the obvious, why do you think they are going backwards and not forward?

  • 264

    258@ Asbak – O nee, ek weet wat om met dit te maak wat in die beursie land….

  • 265

    bdb @ 260
    kan nie so iets onthou nie, miskien het jy dit gedroom, hehehe

  • 266

    gbs @ 264
    o, wou net seker maak!! 😆

  • 267

    bdb @ 261
    dink jy hy’t nog steeds nie sy opinie gechange nie?

  • 268

    Not that bad by the Sharks, it sux losing the fifth one in a row, but the Brumbies are tough, especially at home.

    Sharks are trying to hard for the win, they should go out and enjoy the game now, the season is over, time to give the young blood S14 experience also.

    I’m still impressed with the boys, just the breakdown that seems to be costing us the game, seems the Sharks are struggling to get used to the new interpretations.

    firestrauli @ 268
    they played much better today and have just fallen short.
    any other flyhalves available at the sharks?

  • 270

    268@ Vuurtjie – Sharks MUST play their best team each week from now on, there is pride to salvage, there are the other SA sides to assist. There are Bokke places to play for.

    Next they play the Highlanders…. and they must put things back on track there.
