    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.

    Kyk, ek hoop die Sharks wen volgende week, maar ek sal nie te teleurgesteld wees as hulle verloor nie.

    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.

  • 132

    Ok guys, me saying good night to all of you.

    Have a good one.

  • 133

    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.
