Well said sbali,

Mjekevu has played 2 years of SAu20′s,he played 1st team rugby at KES (top 10 school),was headboy at KES,played 2 years of Cravenweek,made his Superrugby debut at 18 etc

Have heard the same type of “pedigree” talk with honours nowhere near the above for many other players rated as “future” Boks from many on here…Likes of Pat Lambie,Johan Sadie,Eben Etzebeth, Marcel Coetzee etc…

How is this so?

@Michael-73: Bashfords impact is MOSTLY forgettable.

@HongKongSlong-54: Would be best for the Sharks to bring Kanko on from the bench with 20 mins to go - he is excellent in an open game and with tired legs should be able to make a huge impact - horses for courses

@grant10-71: Sadie made unrealistic demands. I agree re Whitehead.

@Morné-68: Bashford's impact is easily forgettable.

sadie, whitehead and JDJ should have been our future….now we have an aging JDV and JDJ…then a massive gap…poor man management

Yeah jr… I know you rate him highly… and he may fulfill the potential you and many others see… but will have to overcome two serious flaws imo… if he is to progress.

I believe however… that whitehead is the unsung, unrecognised talent that helped sadie catch the eye so effectively…

It will certainly be very interesting to see how the career of each player develops… and I will be watching both spaces with much interest…

@ufo-64: Sadie is a thoroughbred UFO , massive loss !!! Whitehead very good and will excel in the Sharks environment but Sadie is special, watch this space !!

@Michael-66: You forgot Bashford.

@Michael-66: I still have nightmares about Reece-Edwards being selected ahead of Theo van Rensburg for the Boks. A brainfart of the highest calibre.

@Morné-61: Yeah Plum and Reecy aren't exactly good selectors and coaches of the backline...

Morné… You’re absolutely right imo…

I wasn’t too upset to lose sadie… but was seriously pissed they let whitehead go… I saw him and jdj as out future centre pair…

Grant would be a better 12 than he is a 10.

By: grant10

grant10 — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:57:19 +0000

stormers were damn foolish to let Whitehead go…..once Sadie left they should have fought tooth and nail to retain Whitehead….now we an injury away from a crisis at centre……dont be surprised if Grant is used at 12 a lot this season

@Michael-60: Unfortunately I don't think we will, if he gets any Super Rugby game time I will be surprised.
