Sad but a fact of life I suppose.

Is this the same tough nut that sobbed-when-he-was-robbed?

I hear he likes it in the back door

Even if Mitchell told Sale Sharks that he did not fly with them to Manchester or Montpellier 2 weeks ago- he still commented & was paid for his time at SuperSport – during the Super Rugby tournament – without the Lions permission.
Game over John. Shake de Klerks hand and walk away.

No secret that he bats for the other side

And a strong jaw. To compensate for your patent weakness of brain.

Thanks. I understand that. I just wonder how significant it becomes when players return to their contracted unions. For instance, if Nienaber is such a brilliant defense coach. Are there any secrets to it? Secrets to take back home.

Loan players included. New employers, new money, no secrets.

For crying out loud this is so obviously a retreat from Mitchell to “show” he has no contract as coach when in fact he is Director of Rugby.
What the LIONS need is a CEO with a set of brass twins to pick up the slack as this oke MOGGEE is living up to his name as the acting CEO and he clearly is acting.
Next up must be a Boswell & Wilkie big top tent at Ellis Park.
Mitchell is on thin ice and the bugger should be shoved into the deep end – but get a mutherphucker that can swing a bat and put an end to this Strictly *** Dancing with the coaches.
Mitchell – SAYONARA
Which reminds me where the ***** is **** Muir in this asylum.
Kevin my dear boy you are behaving like a powder puff instead of a freekin lock of note.

I’m wondering too, now.

I am very curious when it comes to the loan of players. How does that affectt the secrets of a particular team’s dimensions. Those sectet calls and moves. Almost want to call it intelectual property.

Just wondering.

Certainly a poor reflection on GLions administration.

More shambles and patheticness to be exposed very soon I think.. JM has instructed his lawyers to file an urgent application in the Labour Court. The ***** about to get real for the lions…
