Comments on: Gurthro’s a goner

I highly rate Steenkamp for both his power,technique and also the work rate and courage, he is no token like Andrews nor Sephaka and earned his place in the Bull’s front row.
I can’t be surprised though, like I always said, only players I’ve rated among the those guys are Willemse, Steenkamp and Habana, the rest employ the self preservation method of ‘don’t tackle, don’t ruck either’, because if they do honestly tackle then they are goners which consequently turns the whole ‘transformation’ effort on its head!
Steenkamp latest injury is also vindication that Sephaka, Andrews, Davids and Shimanga never put through the wringer at practicing and training, or they would have been a write-off long ago

Al die SA spanne gaan goed opgenaai word in die Super 9 + 5 KAK SA spanne.

Die boere se sondes haal hulle nou in.

Hehe

BloemBull, are you going to the game?

I’m actually not worried about the Bulls’ front row for the compitition as a whole. They should stand up to any prop or hooker that NZ and Aus can put together. I am however worried about our match against the Cheetahs.
The Cheetahs are formiddable upfront even with our strongest side. With our main front row gone, Heyneke has his work cut out for him. We do have depth, but are they good enough against Os, CJ and co?

C’mon bullies, sort your props out. Bands has not been fit for Bok selection since the world cup, and now Gurthro too. This guy is a potential beast, but we need to get him some more experience before the world cup. 2006 was gonna be Gurthro’s year. He’s a phenomenal talent. lets hope he makes it back in time to tour the NH at the end of the year. He’s going to need the experience.

problem is anvil – that is when you tour, and if history is anything to go by, that part of the comp aint looking that rosy for the bulls.

if you loose half your home games, you are in ****.

Relax PA, the injured okes should be good to go halfway through the competition.The second,third or whatever stringer must hold their own till then.Thats the job they have to do.Methinks they can pull it off.

Business will pick up when the big boys come back from injury. I can wait till then.

anvil i like the optimism, i just dont share it.

having played S12 and having performed in S12 are two different things, hell gus has S12 experience and he is still ****.

i hoped for a SA side to kick *** this years – the bulls should have been it – now i dont think so anymore.

at least there is fantasy league still – i will kick some *** there.

Anybody, did we ever play so many warm-up games before the Super14?? It seems like a sure fire way of getting injured. Plus, why don’t the frieken Kiwi’s get injured? Why could Dan Carter be spear tackled by Umanga? Ai… it’s going to be a looooong one..

PA,

Newbies ? Not quite.

Human and Pakslae have considerable S12 experience.Van Schawmbeg did a good job at covering lock in last years S12.

Van der Walt will be looking to rumble now that Botha is temporarily out of the picture.

Only Engles needs a bit of hand holding and I trust HM on that !

Not soo bad.

anvil, ig, i wish i had your confidence in the second stringers. suppose time will tell…

i for one am getting a bit worried. i’ll have to sort that out with some brandy. lots of brandy!!

By: PissAnt

PissAnt — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 08:02:02 +0000

yeah they did ig.

anvil, it is a pretty decent tight 5, for the domestic scene, are you confident these newbies (inexperienced at S12/14 level) will cut the mustard against the NZ teams???

somehow i am not as confident as you are.

Anvil – better than anything the Stormers have ever had…..i think it was WP/Stormers who made the offer to Pakslae
