    NZ and Oz voting for Prince Ali bin Hussein in the FIFA Election/Disgrace/Debacle.

    It is reported here that the Africa and Asian Conferences will back Sepp Blatter on mass.

    Very very interesting …………………………………………………….Sepp is the man that first “robbed” SA of a World Cup…………………………….Then engineered a hosting for SA.

    Go the Jordanian!

    That’s not one you hear very often.

    If the Sharkies can’t win this one…………………………………………………………..well.
    What else can we say………………………………….well?

    Well,………………………………………………… it might be time to Sack “Old lard Arse” The Coach. (Or whatever he calls himself…………………………Director of Rugby, or some such thing).

    This from SA Rugby:

    “Bismarck and Jannie du Plessis have tried to get out of their contracts with French club Montpellier as they don’t want to be coached by Jake White.

    The brothers have never had a good relationship with White, who left the Sharks after just one year as director of rugby. White, however, still wants them to join Montpellier as he rates them highly as players.

    According to The Mercury, the Bok duo may have no choice but to go as they have already pre-signed with the French club – which they did before White arrived – and been paid a depost of €150,000.

    The newspaper added that the Sharks had failed to keep the brothers in Durban despite significant attempts to do so.”

    @ Stormersboy:
    It’s a balls-up! They had better return the 150k and get out while they still can, I think. It may cost them more once they are in France and then decide to bail out.

    Gold sucks but I don’t think it’s his fault, neither was it The Snakes or Plums

    They need to get rid of the entitled players like the Du Plessis brothers and the tourists like Frans Steyn, JP and Kanko

    A coach is there to tell you what to do, it’s his job, your job is to play

    He’s not your mommy or one of your fanboys

    If you don’t want to you better leave

    Kitch Christie, HM, Henry and Woodward and most other coaches didn’t or won’t take crap from players

    The Sharks should have gotten rid of all of the conspirators in the team at the same time when they got rid of Jake.

    They got away with it once and the new coach will be careful not to upset them or they might do it again

    I’m not the hugest fan of the Dup brothers – or of the Snake, but would dearly love to be a fly on the wall in the changing room

    Really…. I thought we all knew why SA lost out that time Wink

  • 21

    Nie goed vir SA spanne dat Saders vir Canes gewen het nie. Saders kan nog 6de eindig, dan gaan die span wat 3de eindig dit moeilik hê.

    Stormers en Leeus sal moet wen more, om onderskeidelik 2de en 6de te wil eindig.
