108 – Loosehead, Thanks buddy.
120 – Ek weet, dit is hoekom ek hulle ‘n gelyke kans gee.
120 – bdb, Are you bringing Bakkies cause Bulls are playing the Sharks…..hehehehe.
Your backs are way better than ours but our forwards are a good match for the Bulls. Bulls should win at Loftus.
Sharks just have never been settled to play at home. We played our first two at home, then the next 5 away. Come home play one against the Reds then away against the Lions. Then one at home against the Blues then next week again away against the Bulls. We really have not had a good draw this year at all for home games.
122/123: ja, gaan nog ‘n harde stryd wees, as Bulle speel soos in eerste helfte, gaan hul pak kry.

Julle gooi baie belowende bewegings weg met Terblance se geneigheid om te skop.
Kyk, ek hoop die Sharks wen volgende week, maar ek sal nie te teleurgesteld wees as hulle verloor nie.
GBS is netnou tuis, hy was nou op die foon met my, die man kook, julle gaan nog mooi stories sien. Ek gaan solank die poll aanmekaar slaan sal julle so nou en dan join. Dink solank wie is wie in jul span van die week.
Ja julle is nou in n moeilike situasie , ons moet maar kyk hoe dinge uitdraai.
Well I think the two hardest games for the Sharks are coming up next week and the following against the Bulls and Stormers. Derby games are the toughest of them all especially against these sides. Huge game next week against the Bulls at Loftus.
Hope this bad weather has gone by then. Also hope no injuries.
Puma, i actually think we can beat the bulls. Would be very tough, but very possible.
Ok guys, me saying good night to all of you.
Have a good one.
for sure you can beat the bulls Snoek. But so too the Bulls. We came from a poor form lately and there was a definite improvement when FdP came back and also when JLP came on, the management of the Bulls must just work on what they saw today and we might peak at the right time.
Okay I am off. Cheers Snoek, Super and everyone else.
Such a cold night, feels like winter.
Catch up tomorrow.
Well done, Cheetahs, Bulls and Sharks.
gooooooooooo sharkssssssssssssssssssssssssss
damn could not get into RT all game long:roll:
well another good win , pity we dont have a decent flyhalf
actually we do in ruan but he does not want to play there
our backline with ruan there just looks so much mre dangerous
Hi all. Am glad to see we got the win,5in a row and with the bye we have unbeaten for 6 weeks 🙂 Goode is rubbish,when he went for that awful drop attempt I wanted to throw my tv against the wall.. Glad with the win but our backline needs serious changes..
