  • 123

    Tahs 39 / 19

    No wait, try by Damian Fitzpatrick for Tahs..

  • 124

    try tahs , and thats the chiefs dead and buried

  • 125

    @115 Yes i get you but i am trying to get around the travel disadvantage the saffa teams have. It’s really difficult to remain overseas for 4 or 5 weeks whereas the anzac teams have only done it for 2 to 3 weeks now and they also don’t find the 3 week stretch so easy. If only our bottom teams were not such pushovers for international opposition. It frustrates me no end that they only play their hearts out against their fellow saffa teams and just give the other teams an easy 5 points.

    This game hurt my Bru.. Damn.

  • 128

    Thx GBS, will check tomorrow.

  • 129

    Hope chiefs don’t get any points here as want sharkies and cheats to finish above them….

  • 130

    winston are you able to phone me?? GBS said he will mail you my no??

  • 131

    Old Griquas, Well done to your Tahs. They now move up to 39 points.

  • 132

    125. Like I’ve said I wish our boys put their bodies on the line like they did for the local derby games against the overseas guys..

  • 133

    the game did my bru no harm

    rudi if you chose the chiefs here i am over taking you on bru 😆

  • 134

    Sharky, see you have the yellow cap….I am hot on your heels….5 places behind!! 😆

  • 135

    129 – Turk, Chiefs don’t pick up a bonus. Never got the 4 trie and Tahs beat them by plenty more than 7.

  • 136

    sharks always put their bodies on the line , thus all the injuries 😉 lol

  • 137

    @132 winston can’t agree with you more mate. It puts our top saffa teams at a major disadvantage that our bottom feeders only play their hearts out in the derbys and give the other teams and easy 5 points. it’s just not fair!

  • 138

    thats 2 yellow caps in 3 weeks BB

    after week 5 i was in 67 position , so i actually came flying past ya 😆

  • 139

    its basically the lions and cheetahs that always lie down for the kiwi and aussie sides

  • 140

    125 – Turk, You are right. Saffa sides always raise their game against each other. Why I have no idea and could beat each other on their day. Meaning the bottom logged teams. Then give away 5 points to the overseas teams is not good really for the other saffa teams trying to make the semi.

    Sorry puma @135 there’s a delay with my transmission and am about 2 minutes behind you guys

  • 143

    thanks rudi

  • 144

    138 – Sharky, You doing well. Must have been picking with your head and not the heart…..hehehe.

  • 145

    131 Puma, thanks mate, you were spot on last week with your prediction on the Tahs. They played an open style tonight and it was obvious they had an objective in mind in respect to the bonus point. I just wish they would play like that more consistently. Nonetheless, a good win.

    I hope the night isn’t spoilt for old mate with the big blue grin, given his least favoured side won???

  • 146

    ok off to brumbie thread

  • 147

    141 – Turk, Don’t worry there is a delay with my old pc….hehehehe. Takes a long time to refresh and post too.

  • 148

    @139 sharky True the sharks have been the best saffa team overall in the comp history but all the bottom feeders, including the bulls in the early days, have been guilty of only playing against their fellow countrymen

  • 149

    lol puma what makes it worse bro is in the lions sharks match i didnt check what i had clicked and clicked on the lions to win

    cost me atleast 1,5 points there

    but thats my own fault

  • 150

    145 – Old Griquas, Go celebrate now. Just knew the Tahs would beat the Chiefs. Next week will be harder against the Canes but it is in Sydney so think Tahs have a good chance to beat them there too. They do that think your team is in the semi.
