I have a friend who works for the legal firm that does all the contracts for WP and…

he tells me that the WP are very nervous as Duanne Vermeulen and Juan De Jongh are both negotiating with the Lions to move to Jo’burg for the S15. Apparently they have been offered huge sums of money.

The grapevine is rife with speculation that the Lions are also in talks with Francois Steyn, Butch James and BJ Botha.

The Sharks are none too pleased that the Lions legal department have, allegedly, found a loophole in The Beast’s contract and are throwing BIG money at him to move to Gauteng.

Where there is smoke…..

    The Lions could be quite competitive if they buy all these players.

    Juan is also unhappy with how much he is being paid at WP…

    @ Piet visagie:
    Nee wat Piet, julle het hom van ons afgevat. Ons soek nie n “boomerang” speler nie.

    Misken is al die wapens en IT geld nou besig om Manie en Kevin se hande te jeuk. (Spelling?

    @ Scrumdown:
    Gelukkig word al die Bulle geblameer vir al die gesukkel daar in Engeland, so niemand soek nou meer ons mannetjies nie.

    Well if Lions get those players they sure will be a force next year.

    Read that Beast will probably stay at the Sharks. Hope so.

  • 7

    Beast is set to stay at the Sharks

    @ Puma:
    Hiyas bro hope you are well

    The Sharks seemed to have weathered the storm where all the so called non white players were targeted by the Lions

    In this case though a lot of underhandedness is taken place where even wives of some players are being hounded to get them to talk to their hubbies etc

    me thinks the trouble in SA rugby will explode sooner or later lol

    @ sharky_forever:7 – Howzit Sharky, I am well brudda. Really hope that Beast stays.

    See Lions are trying to get Frans Steyn for next year too. But thought he had a 3 year contrack with Metro?

  • 12

    @ Puma:11 – meant – contract

  • 13

    ek glo nie de jongh en vermeulen sal lions toe nie want hulle word nie eers oorweeg vir die springbok span nie,maar as mens dink hoe die bokke nou speel kan dit n bonus wees.

    @ Puma:
    Puma the Lions are throwing around rumours and trying to stir the unions

    As for Frans Steyn he has indicated that if and when he returns to SA it will be at the tank, he does however still have a next year left on his contract at metro

    only time will tell

  • 16

    another thing that came forward of late puma , is that the Sharks have purchased the least players out of all the Unions from the craven week etc

    The feeling is that the Sharks acadamy is starting to work,

    @ Piet visagie:

    If western problems lose those players it would be a huge loss for them

  • 18

    i think rudi has fallen asleep

  • 19

    Puma we still have about 4 players to return from injuries that did ot play in the final

    deysel, skeate, smitty , jpp and , and they are said to be training very hard

    @ sharky_forever:15 – Just read on WTR that KdK was in talks with Fransie and Butch, from what I read the Lions think Fransie only has a 2 year contract, but he has a 3 year contract as far as I know with Metro.

    Just have to see what happens.

    You think he will come back to the Sharks? Many times I went to the stadium to watch games so many of our supporters used to boo him. Well mostly from the East Stand, so hope that has not turned him off of us. I would like him to come back to the Sharks too, but not so sure if he will.

  • 21

    @ sharky_forever:19 – Sharky, just have a smile on my face now reading those names still to come back. We have some great players brudda. Skeate really impressed me when he played.

    Can’t wait for the S15 to start. Boks are just terrible so rather looking forward to seeing the Sharks play again.

  • 22

    @ sharky_forever:
    I just think Rudi is sick and tired of us

    Sy mielie is glo suur gewerk

    Dit klink rof, waar kuier die man deesdae?

  • 23

    @ sharky_forever:16 – Well if we never purchased any players from the craven week, it does say our academy is working Sharky. Though still hope we have not missed any great talent from craven week that other unions would have spotted.

    Is there really Shark supporters with rugby knowledge? Just joking 😆
    Hey watch out the white lions i spotted earlier this week on my photo album, you know the drill.

  • 26

    @ superBul:24 – Super, When Fransie is in good shape and fit he is one of our best. I wish him well we ever he plays. Rather have him back playing for Lions than Metro in France. Much better for us to get our best players back in South Africa. A loss for the Sharks but that is how it goes.

    @ superBul:Super, I click on your name to see if you have any new photos every week. I know the drill….hehehehe. Will click on now and take a look. 😛

  • 27

    @ superBul:25 – Super, Just clicked on. Is that Lion lying next to a kill? Must have been a big one, maybe a Buffalo?

    You are sure lucky Super, to see the wonderful game we have in this country, so regular. Looking at that, really makes me want to go to a gamepark. Think I will, but will wait for around July next year when it is cooler.

    Okay out of here now. Going to eat dinner. Maybe back later.
