Lotter was ‘bought’ from WP during the ‘Amateur’ days . Yes he did play lock, probably more than loose forward, Kitch Christie made Kobus fit for the first time in his life! This is my point about Luyt, He was pro when most of the world was’nt. When everybody went pro, People like Luyt’s Lions could not work under the table anymore.

Loffie should get the job.At least as an interim coach.Give him a year with the Cats and judge him on the results.

The U – 19 disaster was kind of expected in a way.The squad had a limited time to train abd gel together as a team and it was not Loffie who selected these players.

Dont forget what Loffie has done with previous U-19 teams.He has proved himself already.

Rednik,

wasn’t Deon Lotter a lock before Wiese became a regular? I remember there was a time that Wiese was in and out of the team because he was … let’s just say … too heavy.

Deon Lotter at the age of 36 I think it was, Also shoved his head between the arses of Kobus Wiese and Strydom. Had a great retirement season too.

I also stand to be corrected on the basis that all my info re this issue has come via the pen of KEO. Interesting, but highly unreliable in the sense of accuracy and independant view point.

No doubt, MacDonald is big and strong and tough, how does this relate to him having the capability to coach a pack of forwards?
Anyway, i PREFER TALKING BEHIND HIS BACK! A genuine hard man. ultimately, I am sensing a further battle emerging, and Ellis Park has had its fair share in recent years. The news of a Ludeke vs Loffie conflict emerging, or the news of a conflict that has always been there does not bode well for on field performance, which is what coaching staff should be focused on while others attend to business and management matters.

The plot thickens.

Walter,

yes, it will not be a great idea to say that in his face, but it doesn’t change the facts. What has he achieved with the VC side? Zero. It really does not bode well for the Lions. I prefer a Balie Swart that knows something of scrumming. Maybe there must be specialists then, one for the loosies, lineouts and general forward play, and one for scrumming. MacD never played in the front row so I wouldn’t trust his opinions on that. Scary realy that a flanker will be allowed to teach a prop to scrum properly! Playing prop is highly specialised. The Lions have a chance now to start right but it seems they are going nowhere.

Hi guys!
Anyone from PE?

Remember if Macdonald gets involved it will be as assistant coach for the forwards…I don’t think a high IQ is needed for that…LOL!

Rednik,

Luyt caused many problems but I don’t buy the idea that in 2006 he is still to blame for all the kak going on at the GLRU. Would Luyt have given Ludeke a five year contract without a performance clause. No way. He would have kicked non-performers out a long time ago. Luyt got results – good results. I’ll take him back any day – with all the bagage that comes with the man. He gave us Lions fans the greatest memories ever. Will there ever be another Lions team like the one who won the 1995 WC ?

Rednik,

I agree on MacD. It’s not what the Lions need. The Lions need fresh blood, fresh ideas, prefereably from abroad. Therefore I like CSI:R’s suggestion. But how to get that message across I don’t know. He’ll man I’m sick and tired of waiting for the GLRU to get back on track!
