  Not a good idea.

  Naka getting desperate and I feer that Brussow is going to suffer the same fate as Juan

  In what way is Naka desperate, he has allowed Brussow to ease back into the swing of things. I think, he has handled Brussow the same as any other coach would have! Desperate would have been playing him against the Buls or even the Sharks. Try be objective!

  As for Juan, he played because his calf strain allowed him too, his injury was an achilles tendon, freakish, but unrelated!!

  @ Pam Anderson:
  If Brussow gets injured again, we will explain the ‘desperation’ to you again.

  @ The Saint, That quite convenient! If my uncle had tits he would be my aunt!! Would any coach have kept playing Brussow in the VC??

  I seriously doubt it! Get off your little prejudiced perceptions and give Naka credit, for not really rushing Brussow back!! Naka has managed it the same as any other coach would have done, given his value. You think Ludeke would have Fourie du Preez play six VC games before starting him?? Pluuuuheeese, get real!!

  Objective? Fark now you have me laughing!

  So being objective is to rather play him against the Lions as opposed to any other team.

  Objective is not to consider he has played in 2 VC matches after almost a year on the sidelines?

  Objective is not to consider that on Monday Naka himself said Brussow must still play a full 80 min in the VC side and feels he is not yet fit enough for Superrugby?

  Why the sudden change of heart – has he become miraculously fit enough in 2 days?

  Yeah, its far too subjective to you two.

  I’ll give credit to Naka for his spectacular record of what, 8 wins in 40 outings I think? That’s truly brilliant indeed.

  @Pam !!

  You do your name proud! “read” Blonde of dubious intelligence!! The change of heart is because Frans Viljoen hasn’t recovered, and no, Brussow didn’t become fit in two days, he was fit enough to start, but Naka in a perfect world would have prefered to given him more time.

  As for your snide comment about giving Naka credit, well I said give him credit re his handling of Brussow. Not that your opinion of Naka would be very important anyway.

  ek dink die cheetahs het nou genoeg van kaptein verander,as hulle nie saterdag wen nie dan wys alles na naka en fourie. naka moes al uit diens geplaas geword het sowat 2jaar terug.moet lekker wees om n cheetah afrigter te wees in super rugby,jou span kry amper elke naweek slae en rekord nederlae oorsee.dan word jy nie uit diens geplaas nie,jou kontrak word verleng en so klein bonus vir chrismas.lekker lewe in bloem.

  Ha ha, ja nee ou Piet, amper so lekker as om a Weeer Probeeer afrigter te wees, laat ons sien 10 jaar, met talle Springbokke, en groot name, en niks bekers nie, nie eers ‘n Currie Beker nie. Selfs Rassie, kon nie die wa deur die drif trek nie! At least kon ou Naka darem, ‘n beker en ‘n hele rits finals aan mekaar coach, of hoe??

  hoeveel van die finals wat jy so oor spog was te danke aan die feit dat die bokke nie mag gespeel het nie?hoekom klink 37-10 so bekend?

  Cheetah4eva on 10 March 2011 at 4:23 pm

  @ Piet,
  Ek weet nie, surprise my, as ek reg kan onthou, was die bokke beskikbaar in die finals!! Miskien verwys jy na 2007 toe die Cheetahs teen die Leeus gespeel het. Die finaal in 2004 was al die bulle se bokke in die finaal. Maar jy is a WP ondersteuner? Wat is dan jou verskoning dat jou span maar net die finaal 2/10 keer kon haal, en maar in 5/10 semi’s gespeel het?

  Verstaan jy nou my redenasie. Vir ‘n span met so baie springbokke, en so baie geld, vaar julle maar vrot!!!

  37-10?? is dit ‘n voorspelling vir die wedstryd saterdag, neeee ek dink nie die Cheetahs gaan so ver wen nie, dink dit gaan baie close wees

  cheetha 4ever.ek stem saam.die stormers het baie bokke maar speel pateties.dit sal my glad nie verbaas as hulle vrydag verloor teen die higlanders nie.ek dink die cheetahs gaan die lions se nederlae rekord na 17 toe laat skyf.

  @ Cheetah4eva:

  His words, not mine that he wasn’t fit enough.

  Why not put him on the bench then and play Kabamba?

  @ Cheetah4eva:

  That would be 1 CC and 1 final in 2007 and 2009 respectively? Don’t recall any boks playing in 2007 when FS beat the Lions.

  Cheetah4eva on 10 March 2011 at 5:03 pm

  @ Pam, nope to my knowledge, the boks weren’t present in the 2007 final, much good it did the Boks. I just think, that the Cheetahs deserve credit for doing so well in the past decade, especially in the CC. They used to lose an average of 4 1st choice players every year, and have very few big name players, yet they have made the semi’s of the CC 11/11, that takes some doing, seeing that we can account for 2003, 2007, which were WC years!!

  Now that is not too shabby!! They played in the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 finals. They lost to the Bulls in 2004, beat the Bulls narrowly in 2005 (The Bulls will say it was a lucky bounce) drew in 2006, and I am sure there were no Springboks missing in 2004/2005 or 2006. So give credit where credit is due!!

  Go Cheetahs

  @ Cheetah4eva:

  The FS has done very well this past decade, well done to them and that in spite of losing a lot of players.

  Still pissed off from the 2006 final I watched live in Bloem when the Bully boys preferred shagging their sister as opposed to going for a win.

  That was pre-Naka days though and I still don’t like him as a coach. Besides the 07 CC and the final in 09 he hasn’t achieved a helluva lot, and despite getting some more wins in the S14 last year I don’t see them getting above 10th in the S15.

  In CC they do very well primarily bacause the boks are out and they are not disrupted as much, and when we get to the knockouts we know players’ guts can achieve anything on the day.

  I still have my jersey I bought that day 🙂

  anyway die enigste manier om te sien of brussow herstel het is om hom te speel om hom in watte toe te draai gaan nie help nie

  @ Cheetah4eva:

  hahahaha, yes. AC and Rassie would have played him tere until he gained grey hair, not just experience.

  Ek het netnou na ‘n bietjie na die Lions span gekyk, en met manne soos Kocket, Murry, Mapoe, Whiteley, Minnie, van der Heever, Cillier en Maku kyk mens HEEL anders na die ouens as jy jouself kan voorstel dat daai manne elke naweek met Swart truie uit draf…
  Stel net voor dat jy vat die hele groep net so en skuif hulle na Durban en maak hulle naam die Sharks! Imagine as hulle net dieslfde gehalte afrigting gehad… kiwi-kiwi… mmm.

  Punt is, dis NIE ‘n slegte span nie. In fact, dis ‘n moer goeie span. En met die afrigting span agter hulle se ek steed hulle gaan nog vanjaar seer maak.
  Onthou, hulle het nou verloor teen die 2 finaliste van laas jaar, en ‘n span met meer AB’s as NIE AB’s.

  Punt is. C’MON LIONS!
