    286@ Just For Kicks: Lambie is a great 15 though. Though he is playing fh right now and playing superb there too.

    Just have to see who Meyer selects. My feeling he will go with a team that has played together for the England tests. Makes sense that as he has no time with players really.

    @ Just For Kicks:
    I don’t think we should read too much into this performance. The saffer derbies are not true reflections of theses teams. let’s see how the Bulls do against Jake’s Ponies.

    My Bru pick was Bulls by 15, they won by 14.

    Folks, this is where I leave you… won’t be going to the pressers, have folks waiting for me for the ride home.

    Gooooooooo Bulls!

    Oh… and chase this thread well over 300 for us!

    Was good, even though Morne forgot his kicking boots!

    Goooooooooooi Mielies!

    300@ Pietman:Yup, Like the rest of the teams, their away leg is definitely going to define their real value

    Well done Bulls.

    Well what a rubbish weekend for me on Bru. Only got two picks right. Sharks and Bulls. Margins were a bit out. Had Bulls by 12 Sharks by 2. Think I had Brumbies so had 3 right. Still a rubbish weekend on bru.

    303@ The_Young_Turk:Agree, these derbies always a bit of a lottery, but the Lions were very average tonight, generally. Bulls should have done better

    Okay cheers buddy, out of here now.

  • 317

    Wen met bonuspunt is wat saak maak op die einde. Seisoen is nog lank, hopelik vir my span sal hul peak op die regte tyd.

    Bulle se voorspelers lyk goed, die agterlyn sukkel bietjie met ‘n MS wat tans nie op vorm is nie, daarom sal ek wil he Bulle moet bietjie met Fouche begin en kyk hoe gaan dit.

    316@ Puma:Whats Superbru?

  • 319

    299@ Blue Bird:

    Sorry BB only saw your post as I logged off. So logged back on quick to answer…lol.

    Well done anyhow. Remember I have always said to you don’t worry about time, running or cycling. Just go out there to enjoy it and finish the races you do. It is all about enjoying the races. 😉 So well done on finishing another Argus.

    318@ Just For Kicks:

    Serious? Or just winding me up? hahahaha.

    Superbru prediction game. Look on the home page it is there bud.

    Okay now out of here. Catch up tomorrow or during the week or next weeks games.

  • 321

    318. Just for Kicks,

    Thought you were winding me up buddy. Had to look and see if you were in our pool on Superbru. NO you not there, why are you not playing Suprbru? Ask GBS if you can join. Not sure if it is too late to join, but doubt it. There is still another 4 months of S15 so think you can still join.

    Okay out of here now.

    321@ Puma:I was winding you up, I am Kickers on bru, unless, of course, I am doing so badly I have fallen off the bottom!!!!!
