    @willievz(willievz)-4:

    Naka has already taken a pot-shot at Marius Jonker, saying the pressure is on him (given how he screwed the Cheetahs in their last game against the Sharks).

    I’d be very nervous about Jonker if I was a Stormers supporter.

    Sharks have to make too much inroads based on their current performance to be able to topple the Bulls. Most importantly they have to gain confidence with ball in hand and in the tackle/collision area and there is no side better at putting pressure on a team than the Bulls. If the Sharks go in there and change their style too much they run even greater risks.

    Its surprising that just about all the games after the tour have shown the Sharks having to come from behind except the Tahs game I think. So they are having to play catch up rugby all the time. Don’t think they will know what to do if they get ahead :lol:

    Olivier is a center that flourishes against opposition who are cowardly. Meyer Bosman.

    Sharks backline I would go for..

    15 Patrick Lambie
    14 JP Pietersen
    13 Steffan Terblanche
    12 Meyer Bosman
    11 Lwazi Mvovo
    10 Freddy Michalak
    9 Charl Mcloed

    20 Conrad Hoffman / Guy Cronje
    21 Louis Ludik
    22 Odwa Ndungane

    I think the Sharks current malaise runs deeper than this. I agree that I would play Michalak at 10 and Lambie at 12; this would strengthen the midfield. I would also move Terblanche to 15; he is far more effective there with more space – and Ludick has not come anywhere near the form he had before his injury.
    A backline of: 9-McLeod, 10-Michalak, 12-Lambie, 13-Jacobs, 11-Mvovo, 14-Pieterson, 15-Terblanche. Would be a lot better balanced and offer more threat on both attack and defence.
    They also have problems in the forwards, with a distinct problem with balance at lock, Mostert should be the answer but he is also not yet back to his best after injury. WIthout a real fetcher getting the combo right in the loosies is also posing problems. So maybe it would be best to go with two players who can at least play to the ball so, Deysel at 6 and Daniel at 8 with Alberts at 7.
    Player recruitment and retention seems to me be be the Sharks achiles at the moment. A real fetcher is a requirement along with srengthening at Lock and in the centres.
    Offer Sadie and Brussouw the farm I’d say.
