Landers penalty on halfway, against Minnie
@ IAAS:
Sharks do not need him
@ Puma:
We believe you 😉
90 @ Puma:
Is your typing errors not indicative of a Std 3 education like Zoomer’s, just wondering?
Then again, his knees are clearly OK, with all the dancing he does!
@ grootblousmile: @ 89 and
@ Sharks_forever: @ 92
I agree with both of you. Meanwhile the powers that be at WPRU are asleep on the job. Hope Gert Smal is wide awake.
😆 😆 @ grootblousmile:
@ IAAS: Gert can surely not be as asleep as Toetie?? 😆
@ grootblousmile:
Nah, just fat finger problem.
95 @ IAAS:
Fark, what Toetie sees in Groom and Schreuder is beyond me!
94 @ grootblousmile: Std 3?
More like he went to school for the first time and went home at first break never to return…
88 @ IAAS:
Not really as our Junior scrummie is excellent. Think we will have him and Cobus for CC and next years SR. Was just thinking if he does not have a contract can see for sure that one of the vig 3 will be after him.
Bulls for sure as they only have Hougie who is not the best. Stormers only groom who is very good. Cheetahs might as well. Sharks could too. Though think we will use our Junior bok scrummie from last yearl. i think he he has huge talent. Just think Faf has taken this chance really well. He is young and has bmt as well. This level does not affect him at all he thrives at the higher level. Great scrummie really impressed by his play.
98 @ IAAS:
Yip, Oompie Puma is all thumbs… hahaha
@ Sharks_forever:
Things seem to be on the up – I think the pressure of the job was getting to AC – and I think he might be relieved to have Gert there to ease the pressure and make the big decisions.
@ grootblousmile:
Did Zoomer finish Std 3? He’s a regular rocket scientist.
That should be a red card, that was elbow into the face.
Yellow Card for No 1, Landers.. Chris King!
@ IAAS:
For sure, Pressure has ben the downfall of many a man.
@ Puma:
At the moment, he and Boshoff are combining well – but if he went south, you wouldn’t hear me complaining.
Lions maul from about 10m out, Landers get a turnover scrum, 5m from their own line
JW Jonker on for Chrysander Botha
Lions just not keeping things together.
107 @ Sharks_forever:
You know what the difference between Pressure and Stress is?
You are under PRESSURE when your wife is pregnant.
You are under STRESS when your secretary is pregnant.
Landers penalty on the middle spot
20 Minutes to go in the match
Lions steal the Landers lineout.
😆 😆 😆 @ grootblousmile:
Errors costing the Lions… inaccuracy!
112 @ grootblousmile:
Not if your wife is your secretary, like a certain politician this side
A wasted opportunity by the Lions – it had try written all over it.
108 @ IAAS:
Actually if he went to any of the big 3 think we would all welcome him. I just doubt Sharks will get him as we have Cobus and a very good Junior Bokscrummie fromlast year. But if he came to us I would not complain either. He is terrific and showing his class ina losing side just shows his class of talent.
