    @ nortie:
    I think Gold is useless…. for some reason I still see him as the guy with in head in hands on table when Maa busted through John Smit to set up the try for Dagg in 2010…it’s funny how that one incident should define how I judge this Gold character as weak….I can’t see him turning things around for the Sharks…

    @ Te Rangatira:
    You are probably right TR, but I don’t buy into the “he was only an assistant Bok coach, so he can’t be that good jibes”

    Allister Coetzee was also only an assistant, and even though he won’t ever win a SR trophy, he still took the Stormers as high as he could at times. Heyneke was also only a technical advisor at the Boks, as was Jake at one stage.

    @ nortie:
    I know he was the assistant coach at the time…but his body language after that game left an impression on me that he was no good….When he got the Sharks gig I thought they were scrapping the bottom of the barrel…and I think I’m right…cos he’s taking the Sharks nowhere…. He hasn’t a plan…and doesn’t inspire confidence…

    I wish HG was around…

    @ Te Rangatira:

    Even if he was a blogger on this site it is unlikely that he would have been around today.

    On Keo he used to disappear after Shark losses..sometimes for as long as a week..only to appear again… remember the one kiwi ( Poppa?) called him Karma Chameleon.. 🙂

    Yep, would love being regaled once again about all the stories about their Golden Era……at least on Keo the Shark supporters that wanted to dish it out also took it on the chin at times.

    Classic fights between Skop and HG at times, especially when the WP/Stormers beat the Sharks

    @ nortie:
    I liked HG… the tough guy image underpinned by an intelligent intuitive mind… who understood team culture
    but his theories on winning running were a bit different to mine…

    Hello south African fans
    here is rebop75 from France

    I have just seen Highlander Sharks on French TV

    Could somebody explain me what happened to the sharks
    Is there any scurvy epidemic down there in SA ???

    They did not know what to do with ball except giving back to the other team…
    and appeared not be really fit …

    What happened ?

    Was it the real team ?
    why alberts play 8 pietersen center ???
    who are these ugly 9 and 10 ????
    why du plessis play several role on the field ?

    thanks in advance
