Failed Jske White experiment. Come on Sharks show some guts
Yeah sorry that makes sense
Was thinking of today only
Why mess around with such a good loosehead?OomStruisbaai wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:32 pm Failed Jske White experiment. Come on Sharks show some guts

Look like a record final win for the Bulls.

Pens in sy pad.
Deserved to be in the Bok setup now TBH. 3x the player Wiese is and a perfect replacement for Vermeulen._Os_ wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:38 pm "Hensopper" is a classic insult, hilariously descriptive. Great to be able to wheel it out again. The hensopper is playing well, if he stays fit he'll be in the Bok team.
As unfair as it is, I think his Bok hopes are over. Nienaber looking for a young 8 to develop and give some exposure. I just hope it isn’t Wiese and that Roos or Louw gets some consideration.

Bulls are just a fantastic team.
Deserved Champions.
Deserved Champions.
Marcell on the bench. Only Siya is clearly ahead of him at openside, that's what not getting injured (but it's not like any player can control that much) getting selected and using the opportunities does. Marcell is still excellent though, would slot him in anywhere in the backrow, strong bench option. I've never found the Rassie/Nienaber backrow options below the first choice that convincing, but then Du Toit took awhile to get really good at blindside at test level so maybe the other selections need time.Blake wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:43 pmDeserved to be in the Bok setup now TBH. 3x the player Wiese is and a perfect replacement for Vermeulen._Os_ wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:38 pm "Hensopper" is a classic insult, hilariously descriptive.

Of this competition yes.
Not arguing with you. I’d have Marcel and Louw into the Bok squad in a heartbeat and give Smith and Wiese the boot._Os_ wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:50 pm Marcell on the bench.

It just doesn’t seem as if Nienaber is on the same wavelength.
Bulls were the much better team. My thoughts are with Ruggafan and his intense hate of Jake White, as he mourns this Bulls victory.
Sharks should be better in the URC with the Boks back. Lets all hope it's not another case of the Sharks falling short in the Currie Cup, only to be the best SA side in the international provincial/franchise competition and also fall short there. We must all hope the Sharks do well in the URC.

Louw, Swanepoel, Nortje looks very giod for the future. Even Kriel at 15 is starting to look good. There are a core if very good young guys coming through at tge Bulls, and i think all the experienced guys Jake brought back have a very good influence on them. The learning trajectory seems steep upwards.

Yeah so far for me its been a great sporting weekend. Great Bulls victory, Man Utd had a great win with Ronaldo back, now need the Boks to put in a great game tomorrow to make it a perfect sporting weekend for me.Blake wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:57 pm Part 1 of the weekend went according to script.
Now I just hope the Boks put in a similar performance for Part 2 tomorrow.
Yeah, as much as I dislike the Sharks, when it comes to URC I’ll be supporting every SA side against NH opposition. It’s us vs them._Os_ wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:56 pm Bulls were the much better team. My thoughts are with Ruggafan and his intense hate of Jake White, as he mourns this Bulls victory.

Someone got Trevor Nyakane on a video call, man is in bed most likely trying to rest fir tomorrow 
The animosity directed at the Sharks, comes from the bad old days of it being the Engelsman team. The old joke about Craven asking "who won the British Lions or Natal?" and he was told "the English" and he then asked "ours or theirs?". Natalians being by far the most one eyed provincial fans, is just a reaction against this attitude. We have been radicalised by everyone else and are not responsible or to blame for our own unlikeability.
It's the Rassie phenomenon. The good guys get abused for years, the abuser's own actions create "the Rassie" (like Neo from the Matrix), then the abusers go nuts.

Not at all. Sharks are a coastal team. We love them._Os_ wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 5:19 pmThe animosity directed at the Sharks, comes from the bad old days of it being the Engelsman team.

Boks won't be back for the early rounds? Elrich Louw and Roos means we have great options at 8 going forward._Os_ wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:56 pm Bulls were the much better team. My thoughts are with Ruggafan and his intense hate of Jake White, as he mourns this Bulls victory.

Really liked the Teichman/Honiball era sharks though
Yikes. Well done Bulls.
The gulf in the teams was drastic. Sharks looked like a club side. The absence of our Boks was just too much and our depth is very worrying.
Jake White's procurement policy looks set to pay dividends. I foresee their contribution to the Boks will be minimal, meaning he can put out a strong squad in the URC.
Glad that shitshow of a tournament is over.

Your mood swings are legendary on here
It's finals...we either push it to the end or have a complete blowout. With 12 players on bok duty it was always going to be a challenge but there is absolutely no excuse. I feel we are lacking in our on field leadership currently. It just doesn't feel right. There is absolutely no passion or pride. We need to get that back again.assfly wrote: Sun Sep 12, 2021 6:21 am Yikes. Well done Bulls.
