Sadie to quit Bulls?
19 Jul 2012
Johann Sadie has asked the Bulls to be released from his current contract.
According to SuperSport.com, the former Stormers centre has expressed his wish to continue his career elsewhere. This after spending just seven months at the Pretoria franchise, that has him held to a two-year contract that reportedly pays R1.4 million a season.
It has been a frustrating period for the 23-year-old as he has struggled with injury and poor form. This has seen him fail to land a regular place in the Bulls’ match 22 since limping off in the 13th minute during the team’s Super Rugby opener against the Sharks.
Bulls head coach Frans Ludeke confirmed that Sadie could make an early transfer.
‘We are very aware of Johan’s situation and his future and he is concerned that he isn’t getting the playing opportunities he needs because of injuries. He wants to get onto the field to establish himself but is worried he can’t at the moment,’ said Ludeke.
‘We will always look at a player’s situation and take it to heart. We will always consult with the player and take the best decision for his career going forward. We have given him the green light to look at other options to see if he can get better playing opportunities at other provinces.’

This is a mistake IMO.
Habana was kak at Province for 2 years.
Show some character and fight for your place.
Watch the sharks buy him.

See Sadie is on the verge of leaving the Bulls. Bulls have given him the green light to look elsewhere. According to SuperSport.
When the ice cream hits the deck you have to wait for the next scoop.

@ Gunther #2
100% agreed. He left Province because he thought he wouldn’t get a chance to play, now he wants to leave Tswane for same reason……
If a player believes in himself he should back himself to force his way into the team, not just get handed a jersey on the basis of his ‘potential’.

@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-2:
We’ve got tons of centres raring to go
We could buy a decent prop with R1.4 mil a year
How much would Castrogiovanni go for?
19 Jul 2012, 17:37 pm
WP could do with him. Pretoria is k@k Ma, ek kom huis toe!
19 Jul 2012, 17:37 pm
@Blokkies(Blokkies)-5:
Maybe the Kings would hand him a jersey?
Comrade iCheeky’s got R40 Mil burning his pocket…
19 Jul 2012, 17:38 pm
the Lions or the Kings… choices choices.
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-2:
one chance away from playing yourself into the full time set-up.
he did look a bit of a sulker, to be honest. anyway. that’s his problem.
i agree he is a good player.

Nee, Ma ek is overrated en speel deesdae kak

sadie is displaying serious “entitlement tendencies” he must come to the kings….
perfect fit
19 Jul 2012, 17:42 pm
@victoriabok – 8 and Tranformation – 11
Hehehe
19 Jul 2012, 17:42 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-11:
Never use the term “perfect fit”, some guys might take it (like it?) the wrong way
19 Jul 2012, 17:44 pm
Unfortunately he is now a year and a bit behind in his development because his ‘windgatgeid’ burnt his bridges. Now he is damaged goods. Allistair Coetsee said he wasn’t ready.
19 Jul 2012, 17:47 pm
With Frans Steyn at 12 , Whitehead or Jordaan at 13 can’t see him at the Sharks.
If playing time is the main priority now that money isn’t objective number 1 the cheetahs are his best bet or some lekke humble pie at Griquas.

@Blokkies(Blokkies)-12: @victoriabok(victoriabok)-13: johan sadie: “i must START, i deserve it”
and some here thought entitlement was the monopoly of POCs…

@RugbyStudent(RugbyStudent)-14:
I still maintain a youngster should get two years to develop before playing Super Rugby, Vodacom the first (and only on the bench for the CC team) and Currie Cup the second year.
That way they get playing time and the opportunity to develop, a good case in point is FH, if he played scrumhalf for two years instead of being on the wing he would have been a far better no 9 by now
19 Jul 2012, 17:53 pm
will the stormers take him back?
19 Jul 2012, 17:56 pm
Ja cleverdick wanted to show WP how much value they were losing… poor decision to act all mercenary and play hard ball for the big bok bonanza
HM wanted Sadie bad.. JJ was just a sidekick that went along for the ride and Whitehead went scurrying off in the other direction
Now Buls have Venter and JJ and Serfontein filling in the mid field picture puzzle looks like Sadie is going to hope WP buy him back again…
This is when mercenary activity backfires.. wonder how Pollard is going to ‘fit in’ up there.

@fitz1ella(fitz1ella)-19:
Nah, if there are three guys ahead of you it’s time to move to another team get playtime, Juandre did it and Wilhelm Steenkamp did it as well
However there’s no need to be a p-rick about it
19 Jul 2012, 18:11 pm
@victoriabok(victoriabok)-20: He made a poor decision.. should have stayed at WP Klaar.. same as Hougaard and Pollard and Visser and CJ and Juandre should have stayed at home too
How many Sharks go scurrying off to other unions.. only Peter Grant due to his involvement at Stellenbosch was he discovered and chose to play his rugby in the Cape… if they come through the Sarkys academy they stay at home.. same with ManU .. the kids they develop plough the value invested in them back into the union that spent their formative years putting them where they are
Sadie should have stuck at WP he was WP educated and bred.. JJ came from EP .. but Pollard and Sadie should have stayed at home unless they were guaranteed they would not get game time in their home franchise.. only then should they move on.

Oh dear … this guy is ******* his career up real good. Henceforth, he shall be known as the white Lionel Mapoe.
19 Jul 2012, 18:20 pm
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, “We’re gonna vent our frustration
If we don’t we’re gonna blow a 50-amp fuse”
And no, you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
Well no, you can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
19 Jul 2012, 18:24 pm
Seems to me his mamma needs to sit his *rse down and give him direction.
19 Jul 2012, 18:25 pm
@fitz1ella(fitz1ella)-21:
It could have gone the other way and barring his injury he could have been a superstar by now
A lot of players never realize their potential

@Johannes Expatinus(hanneslom)-24:
Isn’t Joe van Niekerk a momma’s boy as well?
19 Jul 2012, 18:27 pm
Fuckadilly should have stayed at home in Springs.
Klaar.
19 Jul 2012, 18:32 pm
Sadie proving to be a primadonna! Remeber how great it was at the Bulls. Now he can’t make the team and wants to run somewhere else. Jou kop is te groot seun. Grooi ‘n paar. Fight for your place instead of running away the whole time…
19 Jul 2012, 18:32 pm
In likelyhood Sadie has one or two teams in SA or abroad who would like to sign him
So if that’s actually the case then most of you are wrong for the reason behind, personally I thought Sadie has no case in a team where the ball will have to travel to him via the likes of Houggard and Morne Styen
19 Jul 2012, 18:33 pm
Wat nou. He just got there.
19 Jul 2012, 18:34 pm
I was one who was really upset that Province didn’t try harder to keep him but now I am realising why…

@victoriabok(victoriabok)-6:
Let’s buy kitshoff.
And
Elstadt.

Sy horing was te klein vir die Bulle, hy kon nie die 12 duim minimum haal nie, selfs Spies se USN Private Reserve kon nie help nie
19 Jul 2012, 18:37 pm
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-32:
And a prop,
but not Brock
19 Jul 2012, 18:39 pm
@victoriabok(victoriabok)-26:
Used to be. Since he moved to France his girlfriend’s in charge and got him off the booze as well. The guy’s grown up since he dumped his mum as manager.
19 Jul 2012, 18:39 pm
Kitshoff is a prop.
We won’t by Brokstrap.
We have enough fly-halves.
19 Jul 2012, 18:40 pm
@victoriabok(victoriabok)-25:
Unlikely a would be a super star
Not with the Bulls and surely not with the Stormers, these teams have their priorities
Come to think of it, that move out of the Cape was planned by those who are behind him, he gave it a chance for the Bulls but it didn’t work out for whatever reason, so Sadie has his suitors now.
19 Jul 2012, 18:42 pm
Stay at the Bulls please. Won’t get paid as much elsewhere.
19 Jul 2012, 18:47 pm
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-36:
He claims he’s better than Pollard
He can kick with both feet too
19 Jul 2012, 18:48 pm
Vicky Pollard maybe.
19 Jul 2012, 18:50 pm
@David(David)-35:
First Mom now Gf?
Needs to have a woman telling him what to do?
And they wanted to make him Bok captain?
19 Jul 2012, 18:53 pm
Sadie knows his value & has the courage to leave the Bulls, an organisation that is basically a fringe Christian cult
19 Jul 2012, 18:53 pm
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-40:
He might be better than Fouche
He’s link up play with the 5 ft eightman is the stuff of legends
We finally have a backline played heavier than Weepu
19 Jul 2012, 18:54 pm
oh dear
tendencies
i’ve seen this sorta thing up close
it aint pretty
fight for your place young man or take the easy ride
the paths you choose define you
i’m sure there’s a lotta mediocre teams who’ll give him a starting place
but thats the point

He could used his R1.4 mil to buy himself back into what’s basically a Tik gang, the 22′s
See, anyone can spout s-hit

…faith like pototoes then?
19 Jul 2012, 18:57 pm
@wait for it, wait for it…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-44:
He should ask Sias, maybe there’s a spot at the Western Force as well?
19 Jul 2012, 18:57 pm
Cockbreath.
19 Jul 2012, 18:59 pm
@viewer(viewer)-42: there is that…..the whole Prehistorian thing….
19 Jul 2012, 18:59 pm
With Jean on bok duty , Sadie and Juan could be potent again – he just has to unlearn all that k@k the bulls taught him.
