    @kaksioek-44: Good news from an entertainment perspective. Guaranteed a comedy central moment or two now.
    On a serious note, you Sharks are pretty hard on Meyer B considering you embraced that panhandling, mullet wearing, high tackling of Carter on debut, Pom pom Andy Goode….how conveniently you forget. Many Sharks I know were also delighted at the signing of Marius Joubert, calling it a ‘astute signing and stroke of genius’.

    Meyer B in comparison is a rugby genius.

    Where are all the fun bantering Stormers, some of you really need a sense of humor.

    Half of the fun is in the bantering in the build up before a big game, makes it that much more exciting on match day, and as for tears when one of the teams lose…..koeksusters and tomato sauce if you cry you have issue’s.

    And so, its all quiet on the Western Front.

    The Breezing farts in the wind all hunkered down in their bunkers awaiting the explosion….?

    Let me whisper it to you poor chaps…

    Shhhhhht….

    @Heavens Game-57: Let me alsoi get into being positive

    The side is very much to be expected, and even though i am like some not always the most positive re Bosman, he has actually been quite good this year, specially in defense and distribution for example.

    What many might not realise though is he does give us another kicking option that we lacked last week if Freddy had a bad kicking game? luckily that did not happen, what if the tries dont come this weekend??

    Bosman if i recall has hardly missed a kick when he did kick for poles,he also takes the longer kicks which freddy cannot anyhow

    Then on the bench we have more kicking cover in Viljoen,

    And Deysel on the bench shows he is intent on the Sharks winning the collusions and rucks etc

    I also think deysel can assist Bissy in the fetching part of things

    So even though we have lost 3 players in Jordaan, PSDT and Lambie/ i think we can still make it, even though its a very hard task

    I don’t know where and how it started.

    But I find this general antagonism between Stormers fans and Sharks fans quite entertaining

    :lol:

    @sharks_lover-58: Bossie not bad this season…. Defence improved leaps and bounds and actually made a huge difference to the Sharks, at least on D, when he came on against the Reds.

    Hellsteeth, but that was a comical allfalldown with tryline begging.

    He has many points to prove and yes you are right about his kicking… He is a good option.

    Maybe the Stormers think he is a weakness and in the process play him right into the game…. In a good way.

    Sharktrap!

    @Heavens Game-60: You tried that ploy last year at Newlands. 4 tries to Nill – 3 of which were either over or around Bosman.

    @Mongril……I will do what any good supporter does and blame it on the ref if HE MAKES US LOSE……I mean really, it is a given that we going to boom bang decimate you guys and then I will drink copious amounts of of Amarilla by myself as I have told every one that Saturday afternoon till early evening no visitors, phone calls and I am not available to go anywhere. Then I will have to attempt being gracious in defeat and that is as difficult as saying sorry or admitting I am wrong. :mrgreen: oh which by the way I never really am, ask my husband ;-)

    @Dawn-66:

    That’s my line.

    And no it won’t.

    As Bulls supporters you and I can rise above it.
