Bokfan1, no disrespect towards WP, but Brock and Blaauw are i.m.o WP’s weak link. You guys need a serious set of props, together with Tiaan. Trust me, you will see the difference. Deon is a great impact player and I will select him on the bench anytime.

@Loyal Lion(Loyal Lion)-94: The only?! Then you havent watched too much of WP's forwards. Brock, Blaauw and Deon Fourie are equally impressive I would say....

@hendrikp(hendrikp)-52: 4) Flip vd Merwe/Elstadt (ontwikkel n nuwe Bakkies , of hoe?) Ek is ie SO mal oor Flip nie (ek dink hy gee te veel strafskoppe weg - bv. in Smit se 100ste toets) maar hy het Bok ondervinding en is jonk genoeg om te leer...?

The only player in the WP frontrow that impresses a lot is Tiaan Liebenberg. He is very physical and has the potential to ignite any pack of forwards. Would love to see him in a Lion’s jersey.

Anyone want a PdV ring tone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Qy0lSq72w

Bad move on both parts.

Nostalgic reasons aside Soccer City is a MUCH better venue then Ellis Park which let’s face it, the stadium itself and the surrounding areas have seen much better days, crowds are a joke for CC/S14 games (though have been marginally better this year due to their CC success) and even when the bokke play there now it isn’t a automatic sell out like it used to be.

I don’t whether it was the GLRU being too proud to play in a stadium with the name “soccer” in it, but yet another horrible business decision by them.

And Habana? It’s a credit to him he is willing to stay and take a pay cut but come on the oke isn’t what he used to be and one thing WP do not lack is plenty of pace to burn outside, people talk about his “defence” but it’s overrated too. Mvovo should take his place with the boks.

@hendrikp(hendrikp)-49: Deysel would've been a far better option at the RWC at lock than Danie Rossouw who pretty much lost us the QF. At least Deysel isn't such a liability with ball-in-hand.

@Rhys7(Rhys7)-86: Earl at #8 big no no, I think Deon Fourie no hell everyone even AC is a better 10 than Earl Rose.

@grant10(grant10)-88: you are 100% correct, but at the moment we must make do with what we have, injuries allowing. Not sure what that will mean come the weekend, but we'll see i guess....

@Rhys7(Rhys7)-86: I think it's time WP forget about Peter Grant. He is playing the union like a farken guitar and gets his way. Let him stay at Japan and fark him. You can build around those youngsters. Peter Grant is not that special.

Rhys7(Rhys7) — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:29:47 +0000

WP fly half pecking order IMO:

1 Peter Grant
2 Gary Van Aswegen
3 Kurt Coleman
4 Dimitri Ketrakilis

And then if injury hit like crazy..

5 Dewaldt Duvenhage
6 Conrad Jantjes
7 Jean De Villiers
8 Earl Rose

@Transformation(Transformation)-84: Ja there was some talk about him covering at 10 in the press before the game so it wasn’t all that surprising to me, but yes, I wouldn’t be changing positions quite yet if i were him.

@Transformation(Transformation)-82: He's a good player for sure. I'd leave him where he is at the moment though. Attacking from the back. Great attacking weapon there.

@stormersboy(stormersboy)-73:

I’m no big fan of the Stormers hookers. If you can’t throw straight (Deon Fourie), you probably shouldn’t be on the field, and Liebenberg is an old slouch IMO. Adriaan Strauss, if you could get him at a reasonable price, would bring that go-forward which we often don’t get at the Stormers.

Hooker is not a weakness, but I wouldn’t call it a strength with those two!

I’ve got faith in Kritzinger & Kitshoff being able to do a job. Have heard rumors about Wicus Blaauw being released – he probably should’ve played for Namibia in the World Cup as he’s not ever going to be a Springbok.

And I’m alright with Brok Harris in the short-term, but can’t agree that it’s a position we shouldn’t worry about. Hopefully Malherbe kicks on to become something special.
