@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-4: Yeah, talk big PinkKoei... Sharkies could have quite possibly won that first game at Loftus with a few key players missing. Return game at Kings Park we'll see who's who in the zoo... We also know of the Bulls predilection to fall apart against Kiwi sides, especially on tour....

WTF is wrong with some of these Sharks “supporters”.

Super rugby is 18 rounds.

5 games have been played against top teams and they have missed a few key players in second row, loosie and front row.

Sharks have won their home games.

They are playing an enterprising style of rugby that is only going to get better.

Farken wind your necks in chaps.

There was one statistic that hasn’t been mentioned yet – the penalty count. Let’s be honest – it kept our boys in the game (whether rightly or wrongly). The second half was dominated with a number of penalties for the Sharks, while the Tahs managed very few. This made the scoreboard appear a lot closer than it probably would have been.

Bissy was again awesome but he needs some help. The tahs were really beginning to dominate in that second half. Hopefully the Sharkies can recover a bit for this weeks game – it would be good to see them make the finals this year.

KAK frustrating as a Sharks supporter at the moment – Some great players and decent form for parts of the team, but our forwards aren’t sealing the deal at scrum and lineout time… Anyway – I’ll stay faithful and hope for the best.

The Bulls look the best bet at the mo from SA, but this w/end will tell more… Stormers remain pretenders (despite finally looking good up front). Cheetahs play a great style but are very naive and lack the killer touch and the Lions are average and puching above their weight category. The 2nd best bet is the Sharks if they can start closing out games and playing for 80min.

Watching the game I felt the sharks ran out of gas with 20min left in the match. The hand off by Dean Mumm on Marcel Coetzee was proof to me that the Tah’s wanted the win more, or at least that is what it looked like as a spectator.

I blame plumtree for this loss, his tactical changes during the game left a lot to be desired……………why he took of bosman ( who was having his best game of the season) and putting on Joubert (why doesn’t he use Jordaan – what I saw of him looked awesome in that first game against the bulls). Also bringing on the replacement Hooker Craig Burden, as flank, when we had the attacking scrum in the last minute….killed all chances of winning the game

Sharks are not going to make the playoffs. I’ve tried to be positive and yet they cost me Bru points last weekend.

Against the Scumbies – hard to call, I might just have to favour the home team…

“they are going to leave themselves with too much to do in the second half of the competition.”

Same story every year

They have tried to build a Crusaders style squad and Not close to getting there

How does the draw work here,consider the Sharks draw,
away to the Bulls ,then the Stormers,at home to the Current Currie Cup champs and then the Current Super 15 Champs then on the plane all the way to Sydney.
Now the Stormers first up against the Hurricanes who flew in from N.Z.,then 2 weeks of rugby at home to the team that played the Bulls the week before,a week off and then a game against the Lions.
If I was given the choice of those 2 schedules,I know which one I would choose
