    Atlas revived the thread by coming on at night and posting gibberish and talking to himself….he went like that for weeks and when the total hits got close to the magical mark, HG jumped in and hit the 31 000 number.

    I remember now, he had long conversations with himself

    What happened to Atlas?

    What would you expect on a Monday from a web master still hungover after binging all weekend on huge dosages of Med-Lemon, cheap sweet wine, condensed milk and KPP powders, potent mix that.
    I’d rather stay with beer….

    @GBS 450

    Sorry man, #450 must’ve been the ONE post that I missed yesterday, now I see what all the fuss about the emails is…

    All I can say is that if those emails are the best that all those anonymous drips can come up with then thank goodness they don’t blog here…

    They don’t deserve to & like Cane says, they didn’t have the decency to put their opinions/feelings to Nama directly.

    Bunch of pratts.

    What’s it with webmasters, always into liquor and powder?

    Keo also liked both, although his powder wasn’t KPP, more likely CPP (Columbia Party Powder)

    @ nortie:

    For once I agree with you there. We don’t come to this site for the earth shattering, breaking news rugby stuff. That we get elsewhere.

    Places like this are for the bloggers. To have a bit of fun.

    But the way in which Nama was spoken to as well, was uncalled for and despicable. In fact GBS owes him an apology.

    Nama,
    I do hope you stick around.
    Many have shown support and encouragement for you to do so.
    Pol Pot Groot.
    A pity these individuals (back stabbers) who E-mailed you concerning Nama,
    didn’t have the decency to put the matter directly to Nama.

    The real pity is in the fact that those few who try to keep the site going by blogging/having debates are deemed less important than the nameless ones who don’t bother to blog.
    No one comes here for news updates, by the time stories are copied and pasted here it’s a day or 3 old in any case and most of us have read it on the real rugby websites already.
    The bloggers come here to interact and shoot the breeze….seems like that is the wrong reason unfortunately.
    Wear a Bull jersey and sing the praises of Heyneke and all is well, differ from that and you are deemed to be on thin ice

    I just posted an article which is only 3 or 4 hours old…. 😆 😆

    Just saying

    Never?

    GBS needed to respond, he was losing to many of the faceless and nameless moaners to suicide 😛

    Cane, I was sure that I made the cut at least once on that thread!! My immortality is now not so assured!

    Shame !!

    @ nortie:
    Ons Lions chommies gaan behoorlik in hul broek skuit, maar ek dink hulle sal ook besef dat Whitely al net te veel rugby gespeel het die jaar en dalk ook net n ruskans nodig het… ek is wel bly vir schalk, wie het gese hulle sal hom nooit op agsteman kies nie?

  • 561

    @ MacroPolo:
    Ek het dit gese. 😎

    I am really chuffed though. Well done Heynecke!

  • 562

    @ MacroPolo:
    Yep, glo so.

    Ek dink ander spelers wat gelukkig is om nie “geroteer” te word nie is JPP, Jannie, Beast, Willie en Pollard

    Notable Highlanders and Canes left out… Aaron, ben, broadhurst, barret, conrad and fekitoa… even sam whitelock left out.

    Ja dis jammer, veral Pollard, Jannie en Beast. Ek is bly die ander stutte in die groep kry n kans.

  • 566

    also looking forward to seeing what Piutau can do in a proper team, this guy is damn good his versatility and kicking game also is a massive boost

    … oh Savea also not in this team.

  • 567

    @ MacroPolo:
    They have a real embarrassment of riches at the moment.

    Their risk is to try and give all the options a go and in doing so, not have a settled enough team come WC.

    Well here’s hoping…..

  • 568

    @ Stormersboy:
    It is the only reason I can think of that Pollard will unlikely be left out, man for man we will struggle so we need something extraordinary and worked in jhb last year and very nearly did in NZ as well where he could keep putting them under pressure, problem is in South Africa we need a 80+ kicker while NZ can do with a 60-70% goal kicker (Barret, Sapoaga) while Carter and Slade are in the 70-80% range… our kickers were pretty good in superrugby Pollard (77%), Greek (90%), Lambie (78%), Jantjies (78%).

    There goes that mindset again.

  • 569

    ..our kickers were pretty good in superrugby… but it led to barely anything.

    Actually not.

    Give the lad a rest, prevent him getting injured, and help the Lions next season.

    Thanks HM. Hope SARU extend your contract a la Jurie Roux.
