Ja, think Landers will come back in this game. Well they already have.
35 @ Puma:
Working like a galley slave man….
TRY LANDERS…………… HEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Try Adam Thompson for the Landers.
Game picking up nicely now, Landers taking to control, they should win by more than my predicted 4 points.
Rebels 12 / 12 Landers
Lemoenetyd
Looks like Landers may just pull this one off after all. That’s it folks, off to work I go. Ciao a tutti and see you all at the big game, Stormpoppies vs the Pink Bull-erinas!
39@ grootblousmile:You hardly on your own site these days, thought you were away on holiday.
44@ The_Young_Turk:
Cheers Turk,
Don’t work too hard…hehe
@ grootblousmile:
Thompson one of the main men in the Landers outfit, reminds me of Jan Ellis in his heyday. Jan Ellis, Piet Greyling and Tommy Bedford/Morne du Plessis….some of the best loosies we ever produced.
8 easy Landers’ points already wasted by poosr kicking display.
45 @ Puma:
If I were twins, I could be here more… unfortunately I’m only one guy, 2 eyes… 2 hands….
2 Nd Half ON!
47 @ Pietman:
Yip, Thompson is their main man, they missed him last week!
Adam Thompson in for his second try!
Landers take the lead!
Landers 17 / 12 Rebels
Try Kade Poki for the Landers… bonus point in the bag
goooooodmorning everyone!!

@ grootblousmile:
Nou is dit nag vir die Rebels!
‘Jan Ellis’Thompson running the show……
Landers 24 / 12 Rebels
Landers in control now.
My margin on bru will be out, but looks like I will pick up a point for a win here.
