29@ Puma – Who is ZUKS??
fender
Nobody is raiding anything…
More a case of Cheetahs by the looks of it CHEATING Mapoe out of some well deserved money…
I mean playing for R29000.00 a month.?! Really, I think De Wet Barry earns more than that from the EP.
Why do they NOW all of a sudden want to pay him more… SKELMS !!!
#32
So, what you’re saying is that the Bulls are merely coming to the rescue of one very unhappy Free Stater, right?
31 – GBS, Zuks is Lusuko Vulindlu.
GBS, Sharks team announced. Check it out on Sharksrugby on your left here. Put up the team.
Lambie to play 15 – Stefan at 14. Front row – Beast, Bissie and Brother 🙄 the roll eyes is for the brother. JdP better not give away too many penalties this week. Deysel also to start at 7.
34 – Sorry spelt his name wrong there.
Luzuko Vulindlu – Known as Zuks.
Sharks Team.

All the Super 14 Teams are now out, check above… and under Teams just under the header graphics
Lionel Mapoe is way better than shadow.
37 – GBS, I did beat you too putting up the Sharks team though 😉
Oi, both the “Dom Doctor” and the “Mental Patient” are in the Sharks Team… with Muller as captain… eishhhhh has Plum got a serious wish to derail the Sharks or what?
Can they not see the dicipline problem… can they not see that Muller is no captain, in fact he should be on the bench somewhere.
I tell you, this is shocking, I’m tempted to pick the Landers on Bru and on SportsPool!
39@ Puma – I was busy putting up the 4 missing squads, not just one….
…. but I thank you and Blouste for keeping us on our toes!
Iv got a 85% success rate on superbru. Who in this room can even come to that record.
38@ Wezwp – Both are good…. Shaddow needs to work on his defense…
Imagine Mapoe and Shaddow at the Bulls…. dan gaan julle wille bolle :poop:
40 – GBS, Muller is no captain for sure. Also we have Jannie there and he costs us plenty with penalties. Phew!!!!!! Not sure what Plum was thinking there.
Maybe John needs to be looked after and rested. Has played in all the games so far. Maybe Plum thinks this is the team he can rest John. Well sort of as he is on the bench.
I think I may go with Landers too. Only cause Jannies is really useless and I feel that with Muller too he is not playing like he used too.
Only exciting thing there is Lambie at 15. I would also have played Deysel – Alberts and Kanko together and left Keegan on the bench and maybe dropped Botes.
😆
Moenie se dankie nie…koop net ‘n klein maar duur geskenkie !!! 😆
Stefan is reliable but not fast anymore either. Maybe this was the time for Mvovo to get a chance too.
Wezwp
Your point please…?
Your better at guessing…
Your % went up since Weepee managed to win 4 out of their 5 games…
Please explain…
Eina, the pensioner on the wing, smacks of desperation.
42 – Wezwp. Cause some of us have been going with our hearts…..hehehe. Not anymore though.
48 – Manly, Exactly. Plum should be giving Mvovo a chance. He is blitz. Why have him on tour and not use him?
Pleased to see Lambie getting a chance. A fantastic talent he is.
We also have Jannie again. The very player that has cost us so many penalties. Cant seem to catch a ball these days.
Really don’t see us winning this one.
George bush was part of the brooderbond.
Is the name Caster Semenya banned from the site because i still get warnings using that name on Keo.
Cheers all. Have to go out. Catch up later.
Stoooooooooorrrrrrrrmmmeeeerrrrs.
For the Bulls to negotiate with Mapoe either one of the following conditions has to be valid:
Mapoe must be a free agent. His contract is under dispute but that does not make him a free agent.
If not a free agent The Bulls need the permission of the Cheetahs to negotiate with Mapoe.
To me this story seems like a lot of bull.
Where are the people that called Ricky a hasbeen? He sure is proving everyone wrong. Having said that i believe Dewald will be the new Springbok scrummie.
The money they paying Mapoe now is peanuts. They should immediately give him a pay rise. I wonder if he even has a performance clause in that contract.
56@ Wezwp – Ricky is a has-been, that is why Duvenhage is ahead of him in the queue.
Be honest, where do you rate Ricky in the pecking order, here is my pecking order on current form:
Fourie du Preez
Dewaldt Duvenhage
Sarel Pretorius
Ruan Pienaar
Ricky Januarie
(and take into account that Jano Vermaak is still on the comeback from injury, Francois Hougaard is now playing wing, Heinie Adams is injured, Rory Kockott needs to regain form… who of these will jump into the queue ahead of Ricky?)
Yep I like Jano, but he didn’t have a good game, but to be fair, first game back after injury. Where’d they find the malkoppie substitute scrummie met die lang hare, he’s not bad.
Manly
I believe at the Pumas, could be wrong though…
