Last year there was the habit that the Sharks and Lions would always wait till the last to announce their teams for the week… will this trend continue?

Daai cheetah span lyk goed karamba is nie n slegte fetcher nie en as jy hom n halwe kans gee gaan hy onder die pale omdraai

3: waar vind die aankondiging plaas: Jan Smuts lughawe, vlieg hul die span in van Ellispark en laat hul dan op ‘n rooi tapyt uitstap ? 😉

Ctahs het ‘n goeie span, solank die beserings wegbly. Ek hoop vir hulle part hulle het ‘n goeie seisoen. Net die 25ste Feb en 28ste Mei kan hul so bietjie slaplê.

Nee, by die Referee’s Drop In Room, by die GLRU se kantore…. bygewoon deur John Mitchell, Franco van der Merwe en Mustapha Boomgaard (Spanbestuurder)

Stormersboy on 16 February 2011 at 1:30 pm

As someone with no real emotional stake in the results of this weekend’s matches I wish the following:

Good contests
No major injuries
No controvercial decisions.

Although I guess without the above we’d have much less to talk about on Monday

Anyway may the best team win.

Scrap that. May teams I chose in my Superbru picks win. By the margins I predicted. 🙂

Tripples on 16 February 2011 at 1:32 pm

Het die cheaters al hulle nuwe sponsor afgekondig?
10

grootblousmile on 16 February 2011 at 1:34 pm

9@ Tripples:
Vandag of vanaand iewers…. ek het so gevoel in my gat dat dit Toyota gaan wees.
11

Stormersboy on 16 February 2011 at 1:39 pm

@ grootblousmile:
Ek het Puma gehoor.
12

grootblousmile on 16 February 2011 at 1:43 pm

11@ Stormersboy:
Nee, ons weet laaankal Puma is die Cheetahs se “Kit-Sponsor”…. maar ons praat nou van hulle Title-Sponsor….

Laasjaar was Toyota een van die 2 sponsors van die Mpumalanga Pumas… ek dink hierdie jaar wil hulle so bietjie groter gaan.
13

grootblousmile on 16 February 2011 at 1:45 pm

11@ Stormersboy:
Sal bietjie snaaks wees as die Cheetahs Puma as Hoof-sponsor gaan kry, want dan is hulle die Puma Cheetahs…. hehehe

Wat vir ‘n dier sal dit wees?
14

Stormersboy on 16 February 2011 at 1:46 pm

@ grootblousmile:
Reg, ek’t ook gehoor dat Toyota baie belang gestel het, maar hulle konnie op ‘n prys ooreenkom nie. Ek dink hoe nader aan die begin van die seisoen hoe beter ‘n deel gaan Toyota kry….
15

Stormersboy on 16 February 2011 at 1:48 pm

@ grootblousmile:
Amper ‘n ding soos ‘n “Liger”

smallies72 on 16 February 2011 at 1:48 pm
