I said I knew you would think he deserves a rest, sarcasm excluded 😛 he will remain involved though… but he played every single minute this year and realistically it is impossible to maintain no matter how big his heart is, with Vermeulen out Whitely is quite key for the boks at the moment imo.
“Die OP-Kings is op die punt om “die grootste borgskap in die Suid-Afrikaanse rugbygeskiedenis” bekend te maak, het hul president, Cheeky Watson, gesê.”

Hier is Cheeky se volledige verklaring, van NEGE MAANDE GELEDE. Ek dink hierdie borg het ge-AWOL, alweer….ek sou ook!Cheeky is nou nie juis nie die tipe finansiele adviseur by wie ek sou geld bele nie, praat nie eens van GM of Ford in die Baai nie, hulle ken hom te goed.
EP Kings hope to land sponsor for next season
October 22, 2014 | Filed under: Sport, | Posted by: Allan Williams
EP KINGS rugby boss Cheeky Watson says his union are at an advanced stage in securing a major sponsor for next season.
Watson said if negotiations with a potential international sponsor were fruitful it would be the biggest deal secured in the history of EP rugby.
This year the Kings were the only franchise in the Currie Cup Premier Division who did not have a major “front of jersey” sponsor.
“I keep asking myself why the Kings do not have a sponsor,” a frustrated Watson said.
“We can speculate on a million reasons why the Kings do not have a sponsor. We have tried. But we are at a very advanced stage with a sponsor and it has the potential to be the biggest in the history of EP rugby.
“You can call in all the pundits and knowledgeable people in the marketing game and each one will come up with a different reason why the Kings do not have a sponsor.
“It is absolutely disappointing that we do not have a sponsor. A sponsor would make things a lot easier and we would think that someone would come forward because of the demographics of the province.
“All you have to do is look at our crowd at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The crowds represent the demographics of the country. We have a lovely mixed crowd and you have unbelievable potential for a sponsor to get involved,” he said.
During his six years at the helm of the EP Rugby Union Watson has achieved many goals, but landing a big sponsor has proved to be elusive.
He said one of the reasons the Kings were at a disadvantage was that they had probably only a sixth of the budget to spend on players compared to the Bulls, Stormers and the Sharks.
If the Kings are to put together a squad making an impact in Super Rugby in 2016 it is essential that they secure a major cash injection ahead of kickoff.
Watson has said that if the Kings were going to compensate for a lack of funding they would have to show the same fearless attitude that heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson displayed in the ring if they wanted to KO the richer franchises.
“We are lightweights fighting in a heavyweight division and this is why there needs to be a mindset change with the players – the same way the EP executive had to fight tooth and nail to get Super Rugby, the IRB Sevens World Series, test matches and Currie Cup Premier Division here.
“EP had to fight to get that and it has been a dog fight to get it here. That is the same mindset and culture the players need to have,” he said. – George Byron

All the sponsorships in the world will amount to nought if it’s not administered correctly.
I’m always gobsmakked that the EP, SWD, & Border Craven Week teams have so much “home grown” talent, yet their senior teams just can’t seem to hang on to ANY of the decent players that come through.
Cheeky AND SARU need to stop talking crap and do some real work in that area.
@ nortie:
het jy die nuwe Batman vs Superman trailer gesien? dit lyk bevok, hulle het klaar Afleck vasgemaak vir nog tenminste 3 Batman flieks (Justice League 1-2).
Ons het lang terug hieroor gepraat.
Enigste ou wat moontlik nog mag belangstel om Cheeky te borg, wat ek van weet, is ons vriend Blommebul se Padstal by Hoedspruit

As long as the likes of Watson, or any other Rugby / sports administrator think in terms of “sponsors”, they are on a rocky road.
Organisations who “sponsor” sports teams are actually INVESTING in a bussiness / marketing transaction.
They need to gain something from that investment.
They need exposure. Some degree of success. They need good news surrounding their brand, not negative news of scandals, corruption and nepotism.
Basically, they look at what the total return on their investment will be before committing.
Let’s be honest, the Kings (and their franchise partners) are often in the news for ALL THE WRONG REASONS.
It then becomes difficult to justify to shareholders why one would invest in such an endeavour IMO.
Then again, WTF do I know?
You go grab that “sponsorship” Cheeky.
@ Scrumdown:
He said, Cheeky that is, in his acceptance speech three years ago, that “…the Southern Kings will be South Africa’s first rugby franchise owned by a majority of black shareholders….”
I guess the Stofile tribe must have left town then

575 @ Scrumdown:
I think what is happening in those areas is just what is happening to south africa (players going to europe) at a smaller scale. Those municipalities are really struggling, and players would rather go elsewhere for more money and better quality of life… It is not the only factor, but i think it is a big one, engineers, accountants, rugby players would rather go to the cities like CT. JHB or Durban.
Cornal Hendricks gaan ook Stommers toe.
581 @ MacroPolo:
I hear what you’re saying, but at the same time, a city like PE has developed immensely in the last 15 – 20 years, and is actually quite a pleasant place.
Let’s be honest, the Lions have just as many problems attracting player to JHB, DESPITE there being areas that compare to the best cities in the world.
Some areas of London, Paris, Bordaux, hell even Glouster are sh1tholes, but it doesn’t stop players going to clubs like Sarries, or Stad Francais.
Perceptions and MONEY are what attract players IMO.
Then again, I live in Kempton Park, so I obviously don’t know too much really.
Shit, there goes a Boeing. or was it an Airbus? WTF, let’s get a Castle.

Stormers trying to buy success when they have the best development programs in the country?
@ Scrumdown:
lol stop putting yourself down like that
The Lions will get there 2013 was a massive stumbling block, and it actually halted the development of some players, Ackerman is already building an aura that is drawing a large amount of young players, equal to most other provinces in South Africa, drawing more experienced stars is much tougher, even for the Bulls compared to how easy the Stommers and Sharks can achieve it.
P.E. is a bit better but East London? whoa, P.E. has growing issues under the surface though.
Some comments posted in the” EP Herald” two years ago, very satirical, I should add

“The man sets a goal and goes for it. Give him a Bells.” Hitler was also a man with a plan. Doesn’t mean the plan was ‘good’, even if it worked. I know it’s an exaggerated analogy, but it highlights the fact that a plan or goal can be misguided. I’m all for EP having a franchise, but I disagree with the way it was done. It’s politically motivated and stinks of racial issues. Also the Lions actually beat the sharks last season in Super Rugby – how the hell can you say just because the Kings didn’t get thumped like we thought they would, that it was a success? South Africa is breeding and celebrating mediocrity for the sake of appeasement.

I trust the Watsons as far as I can kick my house. Cheeky in my opinion is far from taking transformation and the EC best interest to heart

The last time Border won anything was when Basil Kenyon was playing back in the 1950s. Eastern Province has never won anything, ever.

this “mlungu” is a typical anc lackey, a big mouth saying the things the other bozos want to hear but it’s all bull. kings 2012 premier division team = fewer blacks/non-whites/previously disadvantaged/AA/BEE/BEEEEEE…than any other team. this clearly shows puke’s commitment to change. he’s in it for the money, like the rest of the his anc comrades.

Those die-hard rugby supporters down in PE are really hilarious in their opinion of old Cheekers, they have known for too long, I guess.

Its fantastic that the Stormers are buying these players ( or in some instances like Hendricks buying them back ) but unless they buy a decent flyhalf they will not win the Super rugby tournament.
And how good was Chris Froome yesterday? One would think Kenya is another planet.

En om mense met geld te gooi.
Hoe was Terminator? ek oorweeg dit om deur George toe te ry om te gaan kyk 😀
Arg seem to get some consistency going
Argentina: 15 Joaquin Tuculet, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Marcelo Bosch, 12 Jeronimo De la Fuente, 11 Santiago Cordero, 10 Nicolas Sanchez, 9 Tomas Cubelli, 8 Facundo Isa, 7 Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, 6 Juan Manuel Leguizamon, 5 Guido Petti, 4 Manuel Carizza, 3 Ramiro Herrera, 2 Agustin Creevy (c), 1 Marcos Ayerza.
Replacements: 16 Julian Montoya, 17 Lucas Noguera, 18 Nahuel Chaparro Tetaz, 19 Benjamin Macome, 20 Javier Ortega Desio, 21 Martin Landajo, 22 Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, 23 Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino
Could still pressure some teams if the forward pack gets going and Sanchez can control the game.
South Africa bat first, personally I believe Amla owes us a good innings after the world cup he had.
