McLook is excellent in giving a analysis of the game. Then doubt he will write about all the games. Well the saffa games he just may, then it is a lot of work that.
The thing there will be 5 of us selecting a team of the week. We don’t discuss it AT all between each other. We send in our team of the week and from there the player that gets most votes in that position gets onto the team of that week. We can moan if our favourite player of that week in that position is not there, but that will be it. Nothing we can do if he is not selected by most. Fair if 5 votes and none know which the other are selecting. That is fair and square. Then if we moan after so be it. Lambie though will be there, first up even if sick………..
149 @ superBul:
I give my GRANITE guy a 3 out of 10…. hehehe
His craftmanship is tops, but he has now taken money from me and has not installed the rest of my stuff.
He eventually phoned me last week and promised to install the rest before the 10th of January….
@ grootblousmile:
AF wat is dit, nee jong die besigheid is jonk ek werk dat dit bars
Gister was dit so 42 grade heel middag, entoe kry ons die wonderlikste reen, n hele 80mm, en raai wat toe werk ek sommer weer met nuwe geesdrif. Maar ja iewers moet ek bietjie rus , sal probeer na die Mango seisoen.
150 @ grootblousmile:
That has to be done……hehehe. I do blog while watching but have to move damn fast to my study to say something about that minute of the game. By that time I know it is a bit late in saying something, but I always do as you know…………… 🙂 I am not the fastest either 🙂
I need to use my laptop I know, but just too much strain on my neck. Will HAVE to get a tv in my study. I do use my laptop sometimes though.
153 @ superBul:
Na die Mango seisoen is dit Perske seisoen, dan druiwe… dan die volgende.
Die swart mense het ‘n gesegde…. die werk raak nie klaar nie, die man raak klaar.

who on Earth would pick any Spears player for their team, damm you must be joking in asking a Lions supporter to give them any positive rating, oohhhhh
maybe GBS would do it for them, at least he knows them better than anyone with his research for his articles.
154 @ Puma:
One gets a special Notebook table, which slides over your Lounge chair, almost like that table one gets in Hospital which slides accross the bed… that might be your answer… hehehe
157 @ superBul:
As long as I NEVER, EVER have to rate Luke Watson… hahaha
149 @ superBul:
I do complain about quite a few players Super. I just don’t really rip them apart. Though the way it does end up like you can read on some sites it is just not on. I don’t enjoy ripping a player apart. That is not me so sorry I won’t do it. Will if we do it with decency. Then will, not the way I see it done on other sites. Hope we never become like that here. Journos do enough of it anyhow.
@ grootblousmile:
155
hahaha , die sequence is hier perske, litchi, druiwe, mango avo,s ,suurlemoen, pomelo, lemoen, ….
ek is nou al so slim soos n porra
158 @ grootblousmile:
NOOIT boet….. 
Jeepers, that is not for me……….
161 @ superBul:
En die Guav’s & Grindelsh?
Solank jy netnie soos ‘n Porra begin lyk en praat nie, is jy nog OK!
@ superBul:
😆 super is al klaar n groente gees 😆
157 @ superBul:
Gbs will give them zero that is why…….. 🙂 I just said Lion as he blogs here a lot. Not sure who should, you could Super if you want…. 🙂
@ grootblousmile:
Any ideaas re the changes yet?? or you still building courage to start ?:lol:
Als boet we gonna do an article for each team as a team in a afew weeks?? in other words an article coming out of the breakdown article’s we have done??
164 @ Sharks_forever:
Yip, let’s sommer call him Carlos Gomez from now on… hehehe
Ok so we give Luke Watson a -10 rating handicap 😆 so when and if he does have a good game he will example end up with a -3 or 04 etc 😆
152 @ grootblousmile:
If any granite installer took my money and not installed yet, I would give him a big fat 0 and that would be too much.
I would probably give myself -0 for giving him the money first before installing……… 😛

i sort of agree , look by now you must know me, just think Dean. I believe any player can make a comeback.
So when i “RIP” , it is in fact his play of the day, not his person.
I will tell a Morne Steyn he kicked like a arshole and cost us a few tests this year, but i know he can do better, and i wont write him off. Thats how i feel about players.
They are not 10 year old kids , if they played bad and cost their team, they must face the music.
166 @ Sharks_forever:
If you look under the Top menu on the site, under Super Rugby, 2012… you will see the Full 5 squads of 2012… so when we’re all done, I will condense all of a team’s players and put them up on the top under 2013… team by team.
We might also do an Article for each team tin total like you suggest… we’ll see.
I have not started with the design changes, that will happen from Friday onwards… to busy on the stuff in and around the house still… except for today, I did vet mooi nokkol on the house.

@ grootblousmile:
😆 that’s fine bro,
170 @ superBul:
Hey Carlos Gomez… you do veggies and salad stuff too?
170 @ superBul:
Of course we should say something Super. I do all the time if a player lets his team down. I just don’t go into a frenzy and call them despicable names, like we see on many, many sites. We do our criticising with decency we get taken more seriously than if we do it in a disgraceful way.
@ superBul:
eish Ya daai valley van jou is a blerrie oond
169 @ Puma:
Don’t worry, ek sal nog hard op sy ballas trap…. hehehe
