I have not counted the numbers, but it is a large squad.

It is a large squad for sure.
See Alberts and Ludik still there so not sure if they are still coming to the Sharks. For now it seems they are with the Lions.
Gym work already. Hardly any rest for these rugby players.
Lekker diepte hier manne.
Is dit kwaliteit diepte? Die grootste probleem van die Leeus in die verlede was kondisionering, en die tekens is reeds daar dat dit verbeter het. Die ander probleem was swak bestuur, soos gesien met spelerskontrakte.
Ek weet hoekom die Lions moeite doen, hulle gaan in die eerste game van die S14 ons op ons moer gee en dan heel bo eindig. Gelukkig gaan die Kings by WP oorvat in 2011.
#3 Ed, I think you can look forward to a better S 14 season, the way the Lions played towards the end of the Currie Cup was very encouraging, and a different team.
Unlike my WP where we expect so much and they continue to disappoint in the S 14.
Ed, Eddie, Edward – Howzit?
How is wetalkrugby.com going?
Were you nice to the Bulls this weekend?
Hi Carol,
How are you ?
Shouldn’t you be milking the cows or ploughing the fields
Hello Manly and Carol. Great to see you here.
I am always nice to everyone Carol. Didn’t watch the game though. hehe
Carol. Wetalkrugby is going great thank you. nice way to meet Lions supporters.
Hey Ed, nice to see Jannes back, how old is he now, I still beleive you need a better flyhalf, what do you think of Francis coming to you guys ?
Manlybok, I am glad that Francis is coming. I think he has a lot of potential. I wouldn’t mind seeing Ruan Boshoff getting more game time. Good talent for the future.
I am not sure on Janus age. He is still a good experienced player to have in the team.
Hehe, funny, I’m on a train going south of Sydney to Kiama, to collect my mother and her car and drive her back to Sydney, and I just went through a town called Loftus, I got the urge to shout Prooooooooovince out the window.
Bwahahaha, that is funny. Kiama is one off the nicest little old towns I have ever seen. I had great fish and chips there on the beach.
Cheers Manlybok. Enjoy your trip. I am going home now.

Is Charl Du Plessis nie die kondisionerings coach nie?…
Check the Cheetah super 14 team. Jacgues Lombard is there as well.
dWeePer, the Lombaard deal only came through monday late.
So, as of tuesday he is a Lions, already been training with the guys. Cheetahs have him there ’cause they were under the impression he’s still with Griquas.
