298 – Sharky, Thought Deysel was superb. Now hearing Darren speak he says that Lambie could play for Scotland?????????? Hope we don’t lose this youngster. PdV just select him please. He is pure class. Probably the best we have at the moment. Will get better only 19 years old too.
guys , ssmitty is fine and hargreaves is fine
kanko we await the news as we aint sure as to how serious it is
the one good thing is the sharks reast this comming weekend
297 – GBS, Cheers. Damn it took me about 15min to post my last post 299.
uhm puma lambie wont play for the boks , he aint from cape town , and div will nt pick him
kids pure class
the officias were rubbish today puma
i mean the linesman turned a blind eye to any offside from the reds or any knocks or forward passes
302 – Sharky, Just listening to Botes speak there. He said they were very tired playing tonight. So this is a good win for them. Especially come back from behind. Pity we let the Reds in with the 2 points and we never picked up the bonus but a win is a win and am proud of the boys. Tank looked the fullest this season too. Good to see that.
shocking to say the least
and atleast 2 yellow cards should have been shown to the reds players for professional fouls all the time
305 – Sharky, Yes that got me angry really. Especially that forward pass for their one try. We need better match officials. Hope when we play our next few games we have a saffa ref.
puma dont also forget they just travelled back from kiwi
aint is strange that in 8 games we have only had 1 SA ref???????????
makes one think
307 – Sharky, for sure thought they should have a yellow maybe two. Just pleased we got the win.
When Darren spoke to Lambie it seemed he was pleased to get a rest for the next week. Somehow it seems he will play against the Lions the way it sounded to me. So not sure if he will be off to train with the u20’s and miss any of the S14.
eish anyhows just so happy we won
we play the lions next aFter our well deserved rest
its bull shit that they can call players up during a competition of this nature
309 – Sharky, I know and that is a very long, long flight. Good win for our boys.
We only had Kaplan for half a game, then the other saffa ref was useless. So hoping we get Mark Lawrence for one of our games.
312 – Sharky, for sure, let him play with the seniors. Who knows maybe PdV spots him too and selects him. The way Darren was talking Lambie could play for Scotland!! That would be terrible to lose him. He was born here. PdV must take note, this youngster is pure class. 19 and will get far better.
He is my FB for this week again from the saffa sides.
312 – Sharky, just hope the Lions can beat the Reds. You never know they can pull off a win at Ellis Park. They got 5 tries against the Landers. Just need to tighten their defence.
Anyhow I am off. Well done to our Sharks. One saffa win this weekend. Very pleased 3 on the trot now.
Cheers Sharky.
ciao puma tc bro have a good one mate , chat laters
GBS 276. In fact he is my SA player of the weekend. Similar to Stegmann, but is a bit more streetwise due to his greater experience. Stegmann had a very bad day with discipline today, and in fact, the Bulls youngsters, Ie Flip, Shaddow and Hougaard showed their inexperience today.
Its good to see botes has regained form
he is a seriously good player when on form
