    Tell me if you get more “Krokkodille”, please!

    9/16 is not too bad after the first half the sharks had to be honest, just one try away

    140 @ Pietman: Because a player simply cannot come back from such a long injury lay off and be expected to be the saviour of the side – no matter how talented he is. I think far too much pressure has been placed on him, and it is showing. He is a player of prodigious talent, and will be castigated unfairly after this game.

    Like Mallett did to Gaffie du Toit & that scrummy (forget his name) all those years ago?

    Think it was a 28-0 game in NZ…

    I believe he is a good calls maker, but mostly mobile and intelligent with a good pair of hands, suitable for that type of game,
    as for a leader, well they have Bissie, don’t they?
    😆 😆 😆

    Not farming but farking for the other word starting with a f.

    @ Just For Kicks:
    Lambie’s general play is more than ok, his kicking out of hand is poor, but it’s not just him, every Shark player who has kicked is guilty of kicking poorly

  • 157

    Another Sharks penalty… Lambie for goal again

  • 158

    Lambie misses this one.

    That’s it Sharks. Stick to your game. 8 man rugby. For god’s sake don’t spread it wide (to your 9) because you are bound to stuff it up. Your forwards are the only ace in the pack.

    Missed, eish!
    But as Kickers says, to much responsibility on the young man after his lay-off.

  • 163

    Philander goes… gosh even watching the cricket is less painful to watch than the sharks kickign game.

  • 164

    Sharks is one dimensional. One pass smash it up. Kick for territory relying on set piece. No innovation; way to predictable.

  • 165

    Nouja, 40 minutes to go in the 1st Semi-Final… and the Saders lead by 10.

  • 166

    Come on Sharks!

  • 167

    @ nortierd:
    Yes, both Griquas at the time, Dave and Gaffie.

    Dave Von Hosselin?
    Still, a rusty Lambie is a far better bet for me than a tuned up Morne Styen, Jantjie, Goosen or Colman
    Hands down

    We should at least avoid the follow on

    Pouse.

    Beste nuus van die dag – Strauss wat gaan teken by die Bulle !

    Lappies ook ‘n goeie kopie, maar nie so opgewonde oor Trevor nie, hy gaan al ons hamburgers opeet in Pretoria.

    @ grootblousmile: Howzit GB. Its not the scoreline that’s the issue. It how it got there. The wasted good ball was quite pathetic. Otherwise our forwards are more than competitive.

  • 174

    interesting 40 minutes coming up.. if the Saders score first will make it very difficult for the Shorks..

  • 175

    It is a all or nothing situation. Show some innovation. Try something else for god sake. Just be less predictable. Mix it up a bit.

  • 176

    156 @ nortierd:Agree, his all round game is very good, his place kicking – apart from that last kick. Just reading some of the comments to me are a bit unfair on the lad. Daft game plan, don’t help, and his general kicking will improve with game time, and that kick off directly into touch just shows lack of game time.

    We are all just placing too much hope on him as some sort of saviour, rather than blaming a kak game plan and some pretty average play from the other players. We need to stop singling him out.

    Did you check who are the Sharks’ wings?
    that might explain the reluctance to pass wide
    😀

    161 @ nortierd:

    Approve It just came back to me a minute ago.

  • 179

    Hel manne, ons S15 is besig om stadigaan weg te glip, as die Sharks nie 7 kry vinnig nie is ons kisboude…

    153 @ BrumbiesBoy: Lambie has a proven track record, just needs time back in the game
