We can’t compare our player’s situation to NZ unless we also have central contracting.
Our national coach can ,at most, request a franchise to manage a player. The franchise can ignore the request, which they usually do, because their livelihoods are also at stake.
The NZ model does work better with all their players centrally contracted

Drop by Sias Ebersohn… just overrrrr!
Force 25 / 23 Reds
Immediate Reds penalty from kick-off… chance for Harris to get the Reds into the lead again
Reds 26 / 25 Force
26 – 25 Reds…

And I pulled it back?! 😆
The way I’ve designed the site now has the result that even when the Web Hosts restricts us a bit, it does not affect load speeds too badly, whereas with out previous design (by a third party), it resulted in a serious crawl on load speeds.
Penalty for the Reds, in front on the 10m line… they could increase their lead here now

We Sharkies should have Heavens Game here….hahahaha. Thought he had a brilliant sense of humour and got to everyone with his good command of English…hehehe. He and Ruck together were terrific. She blogged as Pedi in the last two years before 2008 she blogged as Ruck but left keo for a out 4 years just to return.
Well about the dispute later had no clue what it wasa bout as it was in Afrikaans and Fern normally just winds everyone up and most fall for it. I know as my Scots mates are like that and its nothing to take SO seriously?
Still wish we had Heavens Game here. Though he thought this was a moemon site….hahahahahahahaha. Damn he was funny. He really used to wind everyone up and EVERYONE fell for it every time… Hahahaha. Ruck done the same she was brilliant with it as well.
Miss both those bloggers and Cab also Rangerman.
Ief ai startit spiekieng ingliesh, joe wul al neet a ‘Ben translate’, hehe.
There is no team that stands out as a possible Super Title winner. Any team can be beaten by another on the day…
Reds 29 / 25 Force

@ nortierd:
Well then the Bulls seems the be the only franchise adhering to those requests.
The fact is as much as we can expect that we should tap the blood out of our players, there has to be some logic and realism. I mean Jean de Villiers should not play with a shoulder injury. Just because the other franchises are doing it does not mean the Bulls should not have a rotation system.
Moemon=Mormon
@ Puma:
I dont know Fern personally, but it appears he tries to wind up people, but he also ends up winding himself up, thereby a situation can easily escalate out of control.
2 Minutes to go, Force tryyyyyyyyyyyy
Jayden Hayward, under the sticks!
@Macrobull
I really think the success of the Bulls hinge on Victor not just playing, but also captaining. They must also decide what the best will be for the franchise, and his presence on the field is important to them
Brilliant try Force.
There goes my bru…. 🙄
Cooper slipped that tackle.
Force 32 / 29 Reds
Force do it again
And my bru takes another knock..
Force deserve to win, but affects my bru…
