Go Sharks!
Morning all.. Come on the Sharks,either win or get hammered,my heart cant take losing by a few points again 🙂
We need to seriously watch out for that full back Dagg.. He could hurt our backline.
3@ Winnie – Dagg and Hobbs are their 2 dangermen!
No Naas,they just dont need the liability Jannie Kan nie scrum nie.
They have some serious pace out wide,maybe one day the Sharks will realise you need speed outside to score tries..
Morning Winston, Yip Landers are not a bad side at all. They will be tough to be on their turf.
Just hoping Sharks can finally pick up a win.
GO SHARKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
How different it would have been if some of the 50/50 calls went our way in 4 of the games? We may have had 4 wins by now.
Remember too all kiwi match officials today. 🙄
Hi Puma,yeah saw the officials and felt a bit ill.. And now the commentators have to rub it in 🙂
Nou wen die Sharks met Muller as kaptein, waar los dit Smit?
Moeilike situasie waarin hulle is, alles omdat Bismark waarborge gegee is dat hy sal speel.
Maar komaan Sharks kom weg van die onderpunt. Julle hoort nie daar.
6 – Winston, For sure. Why the heck have Mvovo and not let him play? Instead of Stefan today I would have played Mvovo. We also have Zuks sitting at home 🙄 Need to use these players.
Now if Mapoe is really looking to leave the Cheetahs next year. Hope we beat the Bulls to getting him 😛
Smit is captain
Yeah Puma,until the powers get that until there thick skulls we will continue to be impotent in the backline 🙂
Cancell post 9, not going to happen today. 😆
Quite a few players for the Landers but still think their scrum is going to be better than ours.
When John finally comes on we need to play him at hooker. He scrums far better there and when he plays hooker our scrum is solid.
You guys are a bit hasty to moan about Stefan Terblanche, he’s been the only solid back for the Sharks this season.
If Mvovo had to come in, it would have had to be at wing with Stefan back at fullback, Lambie sitting out…. or playing flyhalf.
Beast got the flu 🙂
14 – Meant = quite a few new players
Beast down with flu…….Smit at 1 as captain.

Why do you want to destroy his career too. No man let the man go to a winning team rather
Treehugger, GET OUT OF BED AND COME BLOG WITH US. Sharks are playing 😉
Awful start by the men in black..
Goode is injured, what the heck
Sh1t start……………………
19 – Super…….hahahahaha. You have two brilliant wings. Bulls don’t need him. Sharks do 😀
Sharks should really have 4 wins out of 5. Refs have cost us HUGE in 4 of our games. We might be sitting there with 16 points, just waiting to pounce……hahahaha.
Who’s on the bench in John Smit’s place?
Move Lambie to fly half Gbs,anyone except the never was Goode. We need to build a new side and playing a has been like Goode is on help,even getting Butch back is a short term solution. Play Stef at 15 for experience but get some young blood in there..
Sharks scrum not looking flash.

You have Zuks as you call him and Mvovo, and you bugger them up and around, we are watching. Well if Mapoe have brains he would not go there,hahaha.
GBS, Herbst.
Puma, enough bitching about the refs.
Craig Burden
