  Howdy Loosehead,
  Not a shabby group assembled. I am quite keen to see if the young “giant”from the Leopards can help alleviate a long standing lock woe. There has also been alot of hype from Treu about young Hansi Graaff, as a flyhalf option.

  Other than that we look well served in almost every position.

  Jokes aside?? not a bad squad at all, Problem though with Cheetahs always is depth, the backup players just never seem to fill that void.

  Also not so sure about the coaching, although i think Hawies Fourie is very good as an attacking coach, Defense also not good.

  4@ Sharky,
  Normally that is a valid concern, but I think the Toyota deal has helped to retain the bulk of our players. Apart from the 50 odd players we still have a fair bit in reserve. Good players too like:

  Schalk van der Merwe (prop), Janro van Niekerk (prop), Matt Dobson (hooker), Simon Westraad (hooker), Wesley Wilkens (Flank) Burger Schoeman (flank), Jonothan Adendorff (flank), Walter Venter (centre), PJ Vermeulen (centre),
  Luzuko Vulindlu (wing),Richard Lawson (wing), and Rudi Vogt (fullback).

  So there aren’t any real problems unless another nightmare of injuries strikes.

  Where do you see possible depth concerns, considering the above?

  6. Brüssow/Marnus Schoeman if Ratel not fit yet.

  @ Cheetah4eva:

  That’s a good group.
  What especially escites me is the backline.
  1-3 is also strong.

  Cheetahs have to do three things. Tighten up their defense, reduce injuries through good player management and develop the kind of mentality that saw WP win the CC this year. The abilty to CLOSE OFF games, and win.
  Against the Brumbies they were robbed, but still could have taken it.
  Against the CRUSADERS (of all teams) they lost thanks to a 76′ try.
  Against the Highlanders they did not concede a point till the 59′ and still lost.
  They even gave the Stormers (twice) and Chiefs a proper fright.

  IF they can do this, I’m predicting at least 7 maybe 9 wins. And with a few BP’s along the way, they could be breathing down the necks of the top 6.
