WP 22 / ZIP
Mens het so 19 lynstane in ‘n wedstryd, so 19 skrums…. maar sowat 140 afbreekpunte waar grondbal gejag of vertraag moet word… daai laaste deel van ons spel word verwaarloos.
Definitief speel JdeV swak op vleuel. Hy is nie n vleuel nie , kan nie glo ons kan nie een in SA vind nie. In hierdie situasie kan Bjorn Basson of Shadow beter doen.
Hi ouens, sorry to hear about your father-in-law Gbs.
Dink jy McCaw word meer gap gegee as ander
Bjorn is ‘n linkervleuel… Hougie ook (wanneer hy vleuel speel)….
Shadow of Mvovo of as JP Pietersen weer kan vorm kry, word benodig.
Try Jantjes… goeie spel Tim Whitehead, dwarsdeur die 2 swak Lions senters.
35@ superBul:
Makou is slim skelm, man…. hy speel die ref mooi.

Moet se dat Habana se spel baie agteruit gegaan het. Ook lyk sy body language nie lekker vir my nie. Hy mis Slapchips dink ek.
34@ fender:
Thanks Kitaartjie, lieflike ou man daai…. sy lyf neem net nie voedingstowwe reg op nie en hy verloor bloedinhoud op ‘n manier…. mooooooooosa maagoperasie gehad seker so 6 of 7 jaar terug, groot deel weggesny.
Nou sukkel hy… boonop nog amper 2 jaar gelede ‘n derde van ‘n long ook verloor….
40@ superBul:
Habana het altyd uitstekend met Fourie du Preez kombineer op die cut-in…. dis nou missing.
Maar dit is waar ek met Darren saamstem, die refs intrepeteer te veel en blaas nie die reels. n Span kan nie elke wedstryd sy spel aanpas by die ref nie, jy train om die reels te ken nie om n ref se nukke te leer nie.
Dit lyk al meer of FdP hom gemaak het sonder hom glad nie so goed nie.
I would like to see Vermaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak in a Bok jersey.
43@ superBul:
Mens sal ALTYD met die menslike faktor van ‘n ref sit….. mens moet aanpas en mens moet die ref slim benader, hom aan jou kant kry…
Plaasarbeidersielkunde toepas…. dan gaan meer beslissings jou kant toe.
Ek het WP maar met 20 gepick op Bru…..
What was Wikus thinking when he went back to the Lions?
48@ Loosehead:
Wikus is also a shadow of his former self, the NH is not good for our player’s form.
Penalty Lions.. and advanced 10 for not retreating enough…. they take a scrum
49@ grootblousmile:
They must have paid him plenty mooooooooooooooooolah!
51@ Loosehead:
Yip, they must have.
I think the Lions bought well there… plenty experience, cool head… just needs to get back to form.
Lions need another 6 or so clever buys… not silly buys like Delport, Chavanga and Murray.
@ grootblousmile:
GBS wees nou eerlik die refs is gatvol vir JS hy het geen standing meer met hulle nie, hulle lyk pissed off met hom. Alles wat ons doen is nie meer so whooow in hul oe nie. Of dalk het ons in die S14 te gewoond geraak aan ons eie refs wat so baie keer in ons games geblaas het.
Maar kom wees eerlik jy kan nie veel doen as die ref pre concieved ideas het van jou nie.
Surely the Lions can get a FEW points on the board….!!
I would be thinking of trading my jersey in if I were a Lions Fan, how much can a fan take?? 🙁
WP defending bloody well, kudo’s to Alistair Coetzee
@ grootblousmile:22 – Gbs, Sorry to hear that about your father-in-law. Hope he gets better soon.
@ grootblousmile:
I rate Mitchell as a coach, but he is not a magician.
wonder of die Lions al 30 penalties afgestaan het, hel hulle kan niks regdoen nie
53@ Blue Bird:
I said earlier, I think John’s time is a thing of the past.
We need hard working hookers like Gary Botha or Tiaan Liebenberg.
@ Blue Bird:54 – BB, Actually sad to see a once great franchise fall to this level. Not good at all. Feel for their supporters.
