Stormers to reel in Clever?
21 May 2012
USA loose forward Todd Clever’s loan move to the Stormers will be decided over the next 24 hours.
Clever, who featured for the Lions in 2009 and 2010 and recently signed for Japanese club NTT Shining Arcs, confirmed that the Stormers have made a call for his services as they are currently struggling with a loose forward injury crisis.
The Cape franchise has lost team captain Schalk Burger, Duane Vermeulen, Nick Koster and Nizaam Carr to injury, and has announced its plans of bringing in experienced cover options. Canadian No 8 Jebb Sinclair has been recruited but the management still feels there is a lack of depth.
The Shining Arcs are in the process of reviewing the Stormers’ short loan deal request and should make a final decision by Tuesday.
‘I’m definitely keen on a return to South African rugby and would love to play for the Stormers,’ Clever told keo.co.za. ‘There’s just some red tape around the move and the finer details are being discussed from this side. A final decision will be made over the next 24 hours.’
Clever has played 40 Tests for the USA and captained the side at last year’s World Cup in New Zealand. He also featured regularly for current Japanese club champions Suntory Sungoliath in their successful 2011-12 season, which saw them win the league and knock-out competitions.
Clever is the Stormers’ best chance of bringing in loose forward cover from overseas. Saracens hooker Schalk Brits was used as a flank reserve during the 29-10 semi-final defeat to the Crusaders in 2011, but CEO Edward Griffiths said the English club will not loan out any of their players this year. This rules out recent reports of eighthman Ernst Joubert joining the squad.
‘The likes of Jacques Burger, Kelly Brown and Justin Melck are all currently suffering from long-term knee injuries,’ Griffiths also told this site. ‘There is Ernst Joubert, but he is getting married soon and will not be available.’

@Fern is not a stud,he is merely no19(Fern)-52: hehehe. Howzit Fern,
Gonna be a huge, huge battle on Saturday. Just hope no injuries.
See Paul Jordaan was in Planet Rugbys team of the week and in Rugby365 team of the week. Great to see the youngster getting noticed.

@nama1(nama1)-47: Dont get CheekyWatson with me… You gonna be smiling out of your newly ripped second Breezing arsehole come Monday, farkwit…
I will be prancing around like a Michalak Cockerel after the Sharks do to the Stormers whats coming to them…
The Black and White is ready and amped to rip some new Stormer arseholes, two for the price of one, come saturday… and there is nothing the obligatory ref asisted penalties will be able to do about because by the 60 min mark it is all over and the rest of Super rugger will have a template the rest of the season of how to molest Brokebacks.

they are mutton dressed up as lamb
21 May 2012, 16:42 pm
I see quite a few sharkshits are seriously full of themselves
fckit will be only too joyous to ram that overrated assagai right up those overrated arseholes one more time.. to make it 4 times in succession
won’t it be a sweet joyous affair when these full of themselves guppies have to eat their own sharkshit one more time in outright miserable despair.
Can still remember last year at Newlands.. Johnny blue eyed Smitty brought Deysel, Alberts, Lambie pambie, Bismark off bench, the whole sharkievarkie works and the rest and Stormers manhandled them into the dirt.. poor sharkievarkies didn’t even get a look it.. it was all over by half time and we put the hammer down fcking the overrated guppieyuppies by 4 tries to ZERO
will be oh so sweet to do the same to them in front of their own two faced home crowd. That’ll put the cherry right on top of the icing

“MARK THESE WORDS!!!!”
Famous last words before a self-imposed exile from Keo for the 1st half of the week….YET AGAIN!!!
Hahahaha
Then after we moered you as a Great White, you’ll return as a Bullshark and pray for a defeat against the Bulls next weekend.
Sad, but true.
21 May 2012, 16:46 pm
snoekskiet,i see you were getting clever on the other thread
i see you went into hiding when i was in your valley
i was looking for you
would have smaaked to meet up for a couple of pk’s
next time sunshine you can sort me like you always threaten
i hope your bf is there on sat for emotional support
21 May 2012, 16:48 pm
@skopskiet(skopskiet)-64: It aint gonna happen… Just know that the feeling you describe will be intensified times 3 when your little Breezing Boys get bent by the Dynamite just this weekend…
That big D defensive bubble will be well and truly blown to smithereens come Sat… And there will be not taking prisoners at battlezone Kings Park either…
I reckon more than a few of your Gerbil Delighting team is going to be CULLED come Saturday….
Deathbyfukkennoogie!

@nama1(nama1)-65: It aint gonna happen you Cheeky little Watson….
21 May 2012, 16:51 pm
@Puma(Puma)-53: kept hearing about him the last few weeks and so I watched him the weekend , looks very good I must admit. Host of promising players coming through , the nice part is that evens though there are so many youngsters coming thru the teams they play for have not lost much momentum (Bulls , Stormers and sharks). Cheetahs so so but Lions sadly dismal. Still we have lots to look forward too , Eztebeth , Koliisi , Stander , Goosen , Jordan , Mviso , Kitschoff , the hooker from the sharks (Craig something I think) there is that Kenyan who plays for the Bulls , plus many more !
21 May 2012, 16:52 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-50:
You are getting more and more so confused .
Foreman never fought Gerrie so how do you know he would have smashed him?
What went wrong the previous 3 times the Sharks played the Stormers and got smashed?
Remind me again… Was it the ref?.. the wind?.. the rain?…a conspiracy?…. the bookmakers…..the new grass surface at newlands?…. the tide that went out at Durban? ………. farkk, you had so many excuses, nobody can keep up.
21 May 2012, 16:52 pm
I just love it when the guys get so over excited , Sharks/Stormers game gonna be hectic !!!!!!!!! I predict a close win for Stormers but I am hoping for a soma emphatic victory so that the likes of HG can go slaaaaaaaaaaap !!!
STOOOOOOORMERSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!

21 May 2012, 16:54 pm
check this fernly fuckup up HG arsehole.. the two in absolute enraptured manly love embrace .. and the two little poeftas so seriously in deep throated mutual admiration .. their poefta petticoats are showing bad while they so desperate to get a handle on each other .. its no wonder every post they pout about is directed to fertilization up each others arseholes.
21 May 2012, 16:56 pm

little piece of snot nosed drek up your bf HG’s arse like there’s no tomorrow .. little piece of garbage like you need to get fck’d up big time for your own sake.
21 May 2012, 16:57 pm
This is balls man. If someone said the following earlier sorry. Imo they should give the VC guys a run, what happens when playoffs come and Burger and Vermeulen and/or Koster gets injured again.
You are going to sit with a MOERSE problem, non of the imports will be able to play and you will have VC players with no idea of what hit them standing on a field in a S15 semi. Now that will cost you big time
21 May 2012, 16:59 pm
so skoppie next time i am in the cape you can have the honours and sort me out.
okay.
21 May 2012, 16:59 pm

21 May 2012, 17:04 pm
@skopskiet(skopskiet)-64: Skoppie that was last year. Our centre pair was not great last year, now this year we probably have the best centre’s in our conference. It won’t be easy this Saturday I can assure you. Sharks will be up for this for sure. WE have to win and that brings out the mongrel (the best) out of my team.
Also we could have and really should have beaten Stormers at Newlands.
21 May 2012, 17:04 pm
no problem snoekskiet
there is so much work down there it should be soon.
see you there jimmy

What is it with you Sharks fans? I’ve never seen any teams supporters talk themselves up like you lot.
Talk, talk, talk, talk, *****, talk, talk, *****, talk, blow, talk, threaten, talk, pure and utter unadulterated complete farking *****.
Man, you must be 20 points clear of the log by now after winning the Vodacom, Currie and Super 15 cups before breakfast last season.
Lol. What a bunch of blowhards.

@Puma(Puma)-76: Oh and Marcel Coertzee ! (sp?). Look I am a stormer through and through but some of the youngsters from other provinces like CJ Stander and Jordan and Coetzee are future greats !!
I am just grateful we have the bestest of bestest here at WP ! Eben Etzebeth !!!! LOL , I never said I was not provincially Bias !!
21 May 2012, 17:07 pm
@skopskiet(skopskiet)-74: I tell you whats going to happen come Sat…
A massive Breezer CULLING by the apex predators…
Saturday will forever be know as the CULLING Game…
Snot en trane after this Breezer bubble gets Pop, popping popped to smithereens once and for all.
21 May 2012, 17:08 pm
sharks are gonna hit the straps hard on saturday,peaking at the right time.
21 May 2012, 17:08 pm
@JA-JA(JA-JA)-78: Lets hope it does not come to that but I expect Allistair will appeal to the powers that be that its a ‘unique” situation and that we must be able to play someone who does not really qualify like Louw.
21 May 2012, 17:08 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-91:
If only your boys played as well as you talk HG.
Shame they don’t though huh
21 May 2012, 17:09 pm
the culling game followed by the crying game.
21 May 2012, 17:09 pm
@sparticus(sparticus)-90: For me the two most outstanding youngsters this year has to be Etzebeth and Coetzee. Man I just enjoy watching both of them play. Etzebeth has to be the best 4 lock in the whole of the S15. Top class player.
21 May 2012, 17:10 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-91: U see this is the problem with some sharks fans. They win one or two games and suddenly they the best team in the comp. I guess its true what they say about guppies and Short memories
21 May 2012, 17:11 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-82:
Nice try, sure you know now after i told you and you googled to confirm. If you knew beforehand you would have used a better example. If george had to walk into that bionic right hand he might have woken up the next morning feeling like Alberts felt the day he after ran into Elstadt last year.
Btw did you watch the video of “wrecking ball” Coetzee attempting to tackle an Aussie- I gave you the link last time, can do so again if you conveniently missed it – then again, on Saturday you will be able to see something similar many times over, so maybe I must not bother.
21 May 2012, 17:11 pm
@sparticus(sparticus)-97:
They all wanted Plum sacked 2 minutes ago.
21 May 2012, 17:11 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-91: SHARKS… APEX Predators… Farken gonna eat some little Pink feather boa loving Breezing blowhards come saturday….
Fubarred stormers… Season Fcked after the weekend…Next week call ups for flankers and scrummies from the Angolan XV and Props, hookers from Tanzania
