Thanks guys, I will refrain from commenting on Messrs Verster & Wakefield etc for now.

To Oregan, Mark, Jurie and your ilk, your political bosses must be thrilled with your “for reasons other than rugby” work once again.

Remember, the wheel will turn.

@ mshini – G Whitelock is a blindside. Are we comparing apples with apples?
Also S Broomhall, R Thorne won SR titles notwithstanding isn’t it?

Josh Strauss is better than George Whitelock

Sam Broomhall also played for Saders and he rubbish so Saders aren’t without their flaws

Reuben was also average

Fuckk the suggestion that Strauss is capable of being a productive (and competent) Crusaders loose forward in the ±5 months before the next S15 season. I don’t see it. He’ll have to unlearn most of what he’s been trained to do on a rugby field.
The ‘Saders are not compelled to sign a l/f. Blood a youngster; field Richie or Todd @ 8 in the meantime. This team had Mose Tuiali’I as their 8 and a couple of stints by Reuben Thorne & Waldrom. Josh is a CC level l/f

I would love for Meyer to explain how Potgieter makes the Boks versus Strauss who does not.

@victoriabok-63: LMAO, soap-on-a-rope, that makes alot of sense actually, there was always something about the obsession with looks there. bladdy good coach tho imo - but if you cant work with people and cooked in the goose, doesnt matter how good you are.

@JA-JA-53: After he led a revolt against John soap-on-a-rope-is-mandatory-when-he's-in-the-shower Mitchell, I doubt that it that many coaches would queue to get him in their team He might be disruptful like Luke

@BrumbiesBoy-56: I know definitely that Sharks was one that voted for Lions and Bulls. Those were the only two who voted for Lions as far as I know.

@BrumbiesBoy-56: It was reported by Rugby365. Not confirmed but nobody has disputed the report.

@David-57: Yeah, I was thinking they must've but unfortunately with SA Rugby you never who to believe anymore... @Slider-58: Thanks, after reading earlier about FS "doing the dirty" I was thinking that it could maybe only be those two. Although as I said to David you never know anymore...

@BrumbiesBoy-56: Definitely only Sharks and Blue Bulls, can't remember where I read it. Strange that the Lions couldn't even rely on the votes of their own franchise partners.
