@race of tan-123: I don't think the players, particularly the backs are scared, I think HM & Morne are. He is the single biggest influence on the side, but his strengths are not suited to the rules at the moment, particularly with the safe Dagg & Jane at the back. I don't buy into how weak the Boks are, we are playing OK & still winning. Boks are playing ok, won 3, drew 2 lost 1. If either team has one of THOSE nights, they will be impossible to contain. Just hope its my team that does, not yours...

@Jeraldjay-190: They had a disagreement. Rassiw tried to force Nienaber on him

@Transformation-226: I am afraid I don't have much faith in HM. The guys is making an absolute hash of his job. If he said to us that this year is going to be a tough one with all the injuries etc, but he is going to blood young guys and build towards the future, then (most of) the public would probably understand it and back the new blood. But the way he is going about building this side reminds me of Straueli, whom I have always regarded as the worst ever Bok coach.

@mako-224: Meyer also dismissed suggestions that Steyn's poor goal-kicking form meant his overall game had suffered. "Morné played good rugby at times, even though he didn't kick so well," the coach said, "Morné is a player that is mentally very tough and it is just a matter of time before he is back to his best. "It is my job to get him back to his best and I am confident I will get him back there [to his best]

Oh and play Alberts at 4, he isn’t having the best impact as a loosie and I would rather see Louw, Vermeulen and Coetzee as loosies, with Alberts in the tight this weekend. Thinking of bringing Bakkies back is the kind of backwards mentality that our rugby does not need now. We are supposed to be building for the future. We could accept a ew losses if we were moving forwards, but certainly not in reverse gear!

If Heyneke Meyer plays Morne Steyn at Flyhalf on Saturdy, then he is a confirmed idiot. I can understand selections that are forced onto him due to injuries and unavailability of players, but when a player ina key position is clearly out of form and not good enough, and you have two youngsters who would easily do better to pick from, then it is a no brainer. We are going to lose this game, so why not test some of the players against the best. We already know how poorly Morne is playing.

I think a new coach should be given 1 season leeway to prove himself if he is not taking over an already proven group of players and is introducing new young players to the team….not a pleasant experience for the supporter I know. Then pull out the big guns and tear him apart.

LOL! Its hilarious how one moment HG is having orgasms at the BullShark Bokke and then a couple of WP boykies get thrown in and he moans like a little baby!

@pompies2-217: As "gayified" as this: "fact that your judgment starts off with bias only serves to skew the results even further"... Results? Ahem.

@pompies2-212: Who has bias? Come now Pompies…

Keegan Daniels, the Christian Cullen of loosies, has more than a little construct validity….

Out of respect, I have let you discover the convergent validity on your own steam – maybe with a little help from Transie.

Therefore Content Validity and Representation validity are up to you too….

However I reserve Face Validity of the initial statement or hypothesis that Keegan Daniel is the Christian Cullen of Loosies until proven otherwise…

Now where’s that null hypothesis when you need it….

TRRRRRRAAAAAAAAANSIE!!!?

@Heavens Game-214: HG, stick around. We value your contribution. How about how Keegan's skills could aid the Boks in getting out of their quagmire

@Transformation-211: A final was good enough for me… especially while you and the rest of the Sharksworld “experts” were forgetting about the game of rugby and busying yourselves filling out Facebook pages calling for Plum to go…

Him, Hugh Reece and Bashford truly embarrassed your rugby forecasting “abilities”…

Megatron the Sharksworld rugby “expert”, my left ballas…

(Ps… Still waiting for that Game Plan… Dont tell me this is going down the transformation definition route… While you at it go dig some stats for Pompies while he’s waiting… Chop, chop… There you go, my little fetcher… Maybe fetch me a beer at the end of it all, okay?)

@Heavens Game-209: Those are all linear stats. You can't measure effectiveness of execution because it's subjective. The fact that your judgment starts off with bias only serves to skew the results even further.

@Heavens Game-207: “I will see who truly is prophetic and prescient, for rugby reasons only and not fanboy sentiment – when these same players go one better with the Sharks next year than they did this year and bring that goddamn S15 cup to its rightful home at Dynamite Stadium.”

as for predictions, please don’t even start

how many *POP*s did you predict and how many false surges up the S15 log never materialised from the wet Dynamite?

no *BOOM*

@Heavens Game-207: “Now as much as you and Doggy are hating the fact that I might be stealing your thunder,”

this is exactly your problem, you are an attention-seeker (the histrionics since Keegan was dropped are evidence) only in your mind is there any “thunder to steal”

you are only a grootbek FLIP FLOP (TM = HG)

and where are your other guppy “acolytes”?

you all were accusing the Stormers supporters of being provincialistic and anti-boks yet here you are now feeling jilted.

Up to the Argentina game at Newlands you were still up Meyer’s arse crowing about how ingenius it is that he has picked the “Dynamite’s loose trio” in its entirery! so stop talking kak about “June to September”
