    It’s amazing how awful the Blues have been so far this season and to think they beat the Bulls Amazed

    Absolutely.

    Blues are there for the taking. Would be very disappointed if my Sharks lost to them next week.

    Just had a damn feeling to pick the Rebels on bru. Damn why did I not go with my gut feeling?

    Anyhow have Saders and Landers. Also there think Stormers and Bulls will win, but if they don’t think I may make up points, the reason I went for Saders and Landers. Daft I know but have to try something different. Select the team you think will lose, seems those are the teams that win, well for me anyhow……hahaha.

    Agree, his talent is totally wasted at the Rebels.

    Hope so. Sharks are known to lose to teams we should thrash. Just hope Lambie and Bissie are ready for next week. Though Burden won’t let the team down at all. He is actually a very good hooker. WE sure do miss Lambie though. Just have no idea why a dental injury has kept him out for this long.

    Quite how the Blues lost to the Rabble, I just don’t know. They had the stronger pack, by far. A much more talented back line – except for O’Connor and Beale. And they still blow it

    Well hope they stay in that mode for next week…. 🙂 If they do Sharks should win with a bonus point. Well hoping.

    @ Puma:Going to be a tough match for the Sharks without their general and enforcer (sorry Bulls), I think they will really miss those two tomorrow.

    We will, but Burden is a very good hooker, I have faith in him, he won’t let the team down. The big loss is Lambie. Think both Bissie and Lambie will be back next week.

    Don’t think the Blues or Canes have beaten the Sharks since 2005. Well think it is that long.

    Okay I am off too. Cheers buddy. Catch up tomorrow.
