Jantjes good to go

Jantjes good to go

1 Feb 2006

The Cats have been boosted by news that Conrad Jantjes’ achilles injury is responding to treatment and will not require surgery.

Coach Frans Ludeke told keo.co.za last week that Jantjes had a week to respond to conventional treatment, otherwise surgery would be the only option.

To his reflief, Jantjes has progressed well, and will start running again this afternoon in a bid to regain full fitness in time to face the Stormers in Johannesburg, the opening fixture of the Super 14.

“The past week has made a big difference,” Jantjes told keo.co.za. “I’m a bit scared of an op, so I’ve favoured intensive rehabilitation and thankfully it’s working. I’m starting running today, and depending how it goes, I’ll aim to be back to full training by Monday. That’s D-Day if I want to play the first game.

“At this stage I’m confident I’ll be fit to play.”

Ludeke confirmed Jantjes’ optimism.

“I’m very positive Conny will be fine for the Stormers. He’s reacting to treatment and it’s obviously a big relief to us that we’re not losing him for any substantial period.”

    At last a glimmer of hope for my team….but I still feel a bit depro about our chances.

    Al SA teams must play well to deprive the ausies& kiwis of points, its the only way any of our teams will make it to the semi’s. Good luck to all SA teams may it be the best year ever ( it cant get worse!)

    Go Cats!!

    The Cats don’t have a good backup for this guy. (There goes another SOS to Gavin Lawless). Same with positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. Solank die Cats net die Stormers wen… ek like mos soos ertjies.

    All I am saying is that we should stop being to hospitable to our Anitpodean counterparts. Give them **** hotels and **** training grounds as well. Why should we always get the butt end of the deal???

    Hey Kiete welcome back bro!

    So you reckon training facilities at kagiso high and accomadation at the Florida hotel is the way to go.

    CSB how about letting them stay in some minehostels and let them use the local soccer pitch for a training ground and some stickfighting to sharpen the reflexes and hand and eye co ordination.

    I was thinking more of the Mimosa in Hillbrow CSB.

    That’ll sort them out.

    White drug addict prossies with AIDS and their motherf—-ingly huge Nigerian boyfriends armed to the teeth.

    Ja get throuigh that you Aussie ********. Ellispark is waling distance from there! Take a fresh trot to the ground.

    22 leave the hotel, 14 get to the ground alive (not uninjured, just alive), emergency call to hotel where nobody answers because the Nigerians have them well and truly coked up!

    heheheh

    A man can dream

    Mind you, maybe we could do that to the Breezes when they come to town next week.

    Hey CSB how u doing?

    Davids, I think that is the best idea yet… Although I think some of the Hillbrow prostitutes might catch the eye of our NZ friends… Some of them might be prettier than the average lass you pick up in NZ…
