Lovely shot from JP. Good to see some form
240 @ nortierd:
Predawn is an abrasive fella….
Don’t know Rangerman… remember him vaguely… think we called him “Dangerman”
HG… who is that?
@ nortierd:
HG intrek, dink ek trek baie mense uit BOOOM!!!
Our Rugby-Talk PVC promotional banner looks stunning… will put a picture on here

Ou HG is actually alright, loud, abrasive, opinionated…….you know, your average Shark fan
Ranger is also cool
I wonder whether they will come over at some stage. I can’t see them staying off the social networks, especially now that their team actually stand a chance to deliver on what they have been promising us will happen for all these years
@ nortierd:
Just on his comments Last year, i like the sharks almost as much as i like the Bulls.

He he, they do make the rest of us look forward to their customary choke
@ Just For Kicks:
Hello JFK how are you all doing? Did you like your pictures.
If the choke comes against the mighty Stormers i would like to repeat HG in saying BOOM sharks Boom!!!

@ MacroBull:
#222 Hello grootBul have not seen any visual footage of the match but from what you guys are saying do you think this could be a wicket that will suit Philander with his accurate bowling especially if the pitch is starting to do things maybe a few straight ones keep low, plus the odd bit of swing from him could be hard to face if he gets it right?
Vernon Philander also perishes
SA 378 / 7 after 136.3 overs
Philander not helping JP at all there. Cheap wicket, if ever I saw one

255 @ grootblousmile: Very nice indeed, but can people read up there in your neck of the woods? No, seriously, well done, looks great!
@ Just For Kicks:

257 @ Just For Kicks:
Like the new look and feel of the Logo and the background…. will change the website accordingly when I get the chance.

@ grootblousmile:
NCE, WOW!!!!
Looks very professional GBS, good job.
Whose that in the picture, Os?
@ Pietman:
Meant NICE…
Duminy finally gets his TON!
259 @ grootblousmile: Good, man, glad to see its going so well for you – can’t wait until you can afford to take on a full-time overseas correspondent or 2!!!
261 @ Pietman:
Hehehe
No, it’s not Os, it’s a chappy at the Printers, still stretching the banner into the frame on the Big Bang Events & Marketing Solutions (Handbriekie’s company) marketing trailer.
On the other side is a banner for their next Expo (Rendezvous @ Emhlangeni), to be held on 21 & 22 March.
264 @ Just For Kicks:
Me neither… of course I will have to come over to do the interviews and make the appointments…. hehehe
