He knows that he’s not going to be a Springbok bar maybe one or two token caps to prevent him from playing for another country.

He should head overseas now while there’s still time.

Compare the 2 flyhalves on the field on the day… Sharks had forward dominance for about 60 min with Lambie having a good solid Game! Stompies forwards struggled for 60 min (except lineout time) with Catrakilis also struggling a bit behind the pack. Stompies pack dominated for about 20 min with Catrakilis having a few moments of brilliance in that time which included 2 drops and putting De jong away with a brilliant little pass. Which flyhalf had the biggest impact on the Game?

@Rhys7-22: I think you're on the money there, Rhys7. This belated faith in Catrakilis, who AC seemed more than happy to farewell a few months back, suggests Elton's waivering. Truth is, Demetri is well down the SA flyhalves pecking order and probably belongs at an outfit like the Kings.

Unbelievably ignorant lot, calling Demetri a Greek!
So much for the rainbow philosophy, its all bs.

@papaown-21: No!!!! just saying Lambie is overrated and completely out of his depth when it comes to pressure rugby. And… are you trying to compare Bambie to Dan Carter now? Carter can drop! He has speed and strength! He has the best past and boot in world rugby! The best stats of a 10 in world rugby! A world cup, a few tri nations, plenty super rugby trophies!!!!!! What does Lambie have????? 0 tries 0 drops and 0 penalties in 17 tests……..

@papaown-21: I agree. He played the second half of his life, Demetri, but for now he is just a very solid Currie Cup player. A move to the Kings will do him well, where he is guaranteed a starting spot. That won't be the case at Province. Lambie has really changed my mind on him - he is a fantastic player, and between him, Goosen and Jantjies, we have our Springbok flyhalves for the next ten years.

He should spend a season at the Kings.. He will not get picked ahead of Grant and there is also Van Aswegen and Coleman coming up the ranks.

Also if Jantjes comes then he would have no place. However, the fact that Coetzee is saying he wants to keep Catrakilis makes me think that perhaps Jantjes is not coming to Stormers.

@phil72-20: FFS Phil, are you seriously promoting the Greek over Lambie? Lambie had a solid game without his forwards dominating, its what Elton does ALL year round with the Lions! How many drop goals does Dan Carter pull off ? 1 swallow does not a summer make, congrats to the Greek but can the hysteria end there please!

Point remains, The Greek is a match winner with match winning abilities! Bambie had a good game, but has not got the same match winning abilities… How many match winning drop goals have Bambie made in his career?

I heard Joel say something stupid like will the Greek be a surprise selection for end of year tour.

Sometimes a player has a superb game, that shouldn’t cause us to go into hysteria and lose all sensibility.

The Greek is limited in general play but played the game of his life yesterday. All credit too him and good luck@the Kings

@17 Lepel, one doesn’t need to qualify bigoted statements…this is Keo dammit

@suffer_guy-16: That is one of the more bigoted and idiotic statements I've heard in a long time. You, naturally, can prove this? Wasn't Brache (a coloured player) dropped for a white guy in the final? Or is De Allende tanned enough?

Allister and wakefield’s dream is to have a all coloured backline… They made no secret of it…. Thats why they let pollard and dimitri go… This is the last cup for wp for another 10 years

How can AC get him to stay, even if he wanted to? He has signed a deal hasn’t he?

By: phearlessphred

phearlessphred — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 05:23:26 +0000

How on earth could the WP management allow Catrakillis to sign for another province? Now Alistair Coetzee wants him to stay after he signed another contract! Brain dead stuff!!

Elton has been a bit skaam to sign on the dotted line. Shame. i think he has blown it. province don’t need draadsitters.

@numba4lock-10: Swiel should be ahead of Van Aswegen and possibly Coleman

Yes he helped you win a final but let the greek go to EP

Its not fair to have him sit behind jantjies and grant waiting for a injury

alot of WP supporters told me he was **** leading up2 this game, but thats neither fair nor true

his a good player, if abit limited, with a above average kicking off the tee, but the movement and passing to get the backline going, not greag kicking out of hand, unless its a drop goal maybe

good kick, id discribe him as the poor mans peter grant, best of luck at the kings

lets look at WP’s other flyhalf options

gary van asvegen: seem to hav a big skill set, but always injured

kurt coleman: discribed by the coaching staff as the most attacking fullback wp has ever had, bulked up alot over the last year, but also injured (broken jaw)

add grant nd jantjies to the mix nd wp should be ok in the FH channel
