The sharks seemed to have resolved their Flyhalf problems for now, even though many feel Goode is not the answer for the sharks at 10, the fact is it keeps the same combinations that have started showing success and also keeps a player like Ruan at Scrumhalf where he too has been very good.

Durban – Andy Goode may yet play flyhalf for the Sharks in the weekend’s Super 14 match against the Reds.

The former England flyhalf was initially offered a contract for only for the Sharks’ overseas tour. It was initially unlikely he would fly back to South Africa with the team due to problems with his work permit.

However, the Sharks are apparently now set to extend his contract.

Sharks commercial manager Rudolf Straeuli on Monday confirmed Goode’s possible availability to Sport24, but did not want to say much more.

He said that a press release would be issued and questions would be answered at a press conference on Tuesday.

If Goode is unavailable, Ruan Pienaar will probably move from scrumhalf to flyhalf. Pienaar was the Sharks’ hero in Saturday’s victory over the Hurricanes in Wellington.

Pienaar was still in the dark about the move on Monday. Pienaar added that he didn’t believe it would be a problem should young fullback Pat Lambie be shifted to flyhalf.

“He did really well. He will become a good flyhalf and I’m sure he will be able to do a good job there,” said Pienaar.

Pienaar was humble about his winning kick in the dying seconds that handed the Sharks a 29-26 victory over the Hurricanes. Pienaar was also responsible for a winning touchline kick against the Crusaders in 2007.

Pienaar said the wind in the Westpac Stadium had made things difficult and his thought process was to aim for the right-hand post, try to stay calm and think back to previous successful kicks.

“It was great to finish the tour on a high.”

The win over the Hurricanes was the Sharks’ second in a row this season.

The Reds will be in a confident mood after beating the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein last Friday. It was the Reds’ first win in South Africa since 2006 and the last time they won three straight matches eight years ago.

Meanwhile, Springbok centre Adrian Jacobs will miss the rest of the Sharks’ Super 14 campaign with a dislocated shoulder.

    good morning ashtray 😆

    as for the Sharks i think this is some good news for the sake of continuity , goode has not been great by anystretch of the imagination but the combinations have worked and this i think is good for the team right now

    the other problem is to see if murray can step up and fill the hole left by the injury to ADI?

    yes ADI has not been poor or great but he combined well with Swannepoel

    This might be some relief for the Sharks in the short run, but imo they are not doing themselves any favours in terms of sorting the origin of the problem…

    Who will they play when Goode is gone, whats their long term plan?

    Bringing through a player like Lambie ,is imo much more positive to the Sharks as a union.
    Give the players in your squad, or youngsters that has been earmarked to fill certain positions in future an extended run.
    I dont see the Sharks realisticly aiming for a semi berth…

    Time to build for the future imo…

    BLOUBUL VRAESTEL
    Vraag 9a) VERTAAL IN ENGELS –

    Net soos in die tyd van die Voortrekkers, het ek en my swaer, Jan, ystervarke en stinkmuishonde gaan jag met die dubbelloop-haelgeweer.

    Uiteindelik sien my swaer Jan ‘n stinkmuishond, sit ‘n patroon in die loop, lê aan, trek los en daar lê die stinkmuishond, bene in die lug.

    Net toe ons nader kom ruik ons hoe die stinkmuishond stink en hardloop weg. My voet haak toe vas aan die wortel van ‘n boom, ek slaan neer en breek my sleutelbeen.

    By die hoofpad uitgekom, staan daar ‘n ou met ‘n pap wiel. Hy vra toe of ons weet waar hy ‘n motorhawe kan kry om lug vir die agterwiel te bekom.

    Van pure moedeloosheid bly sit ons net daar langs die pad.

    ANTWOORD –

    Just as in the time of the Frontpullers, me and my heavy, John, went to shoot iron pigs and stink-mice-dogs with a dubble-walk-hailgun. At last my heavy John saw a stink-mouse-dog, sits a pattern in the walk, lies on, pulls loose and there lies the stink-mouse-dog, bones in the air.

    Just as us come close, us smelt how the stink-mouse-dog stinks and runs away quick. My foot hooks fast to the carrot of a tree, I fall down and breaks my keybone.

    As we came to the chiefroad, there stand an old with a porridge wheel. He asks if us knows where he can get a motorharbour to get some sky for his afterwheel.

    From pure motherlessness stays us sits just there next to the road.
