Sharks lash lousy Leopards
8 Feb 2013
The Sharks shook off the rust with a 71-8 pre-season win against the Leopards in Pietermaritzburg on Friday night.
John Plumtree’s men led 31-3 at the break after tries to flyhalf Pat Lambie, flanker Jacques Botes, right wing Odwa Ndungane, No 8 Tera Mtembu and left wing Lwazi Mvovo. The visitors’ points came from the boot of flyhalf Johnny Welthagen.
The Sharks continued to dominate after the break with Mvovo and Botes each getting a second, and flanker Jean Deysel, captain Frans Steyn and loosehead prop Allan Dell also crossing the whitewash.
The Leopards finally scored a try through replacement Elardus Venter, but the Sharks had the final say when Mtembu scored his second of the night just before full-time.
Lambie slotted five conversions for the Sharks and replacment Meyer Bosman three.

@keocoza. Bunch of youngsters against a S15 favourite. A true sportsman will not trample them as ‘lousy’!

@Sterugby1-1:
Maybe keo meant to say ‘lazy’ Leopards.
Anyway, the Sharks seem ready.

Super 15 Sharks vs. Leopards. Come on folks – this result was to be expected. They could just as well have played the Kings.

Or Stormers…
Bulls….no chance !

Congratulations….and celebrations for the best SA team in the S15.
Keep it up.

@nama1-5: I see Keegan Daniel may have done a knee ligamnet and Tim Whitehead may have broken an arm!

@nama1-5:
O my vok?
Are you serious?
Keegan out! Bissie Out!
Who’s going to lead them now? Jannie? Alberts? Kanko? Fransie?
They have a moerse problem if Keegan is not available. Hopefully, they won’t put PSDT under that kind of pressure at this stage of his career. HOPEFULLY.

Sorry G10. Was meant to respond to your comment at p.6,

Sharks lash lousy Leopards
Who does not lash them?
That is nothing to boast about. Ask their women or their girlfriends!!!

@nama1-8:
I was reading through the comments and the one Shark gave a leavel headed response while the rest (stotmers) praise and make the sharks favorites. Then you say “As long as they believe that they are the shizznizz after beating the leopards, i have now problem”
Fern was telling us you are a leavelbheaded guy, but i think he was telling us porkies.
This is the kind of thing that makes why people cant take you serious. Good luck with your Stormers today, hope they have no injuries.

I knew Mtembu would make it into the senior side. Well deserved.
9 Feb 2013, 07:40 am
@grant10-6: that is unlucky – JPP for Whitehead and Mtembu for Daniels. Guppies still looking good.
9 Feb 2013, 11:07 am
How is Frans looking ?
Hope he has shed some of his bulk of last year .. we need him for the Boks big time. This is the year of judgement for HM ..
9 Feb 2013, 11:08 am
ugil’ ibenye Tera!!!!
9 Feb 2013, 11:25 am
Massive losses these.
Daniel out for six weeks.
Jordaan has his hammy issues as well which means you could very well see JP back at 13 for a few weeks at the beginning of this season.

@Mr Black-10:
Oh my!!! What are you on about?
Only certain people are allowed to believe in their team?
I think stormers are a better team than the Sharks. There you have it. If that means I’m not level headed, so be it.
9 Feb 2013, 11:51 am
@Transformation-14: why are you wetting your nappy for a Border player who was developed by the guppies.
9 Feb 2013, 12:01 pm
@nama1-16: The difference being and when he tried to explain to you, and yes of cause you will deny this, but you have never a good word to say about the Sharks , their players or the supporters.
You accuse Sharks supporters of exactly what you do on Keo all the time? And what mrblack told you obviously went right over your head, as nowhere did a sharks support brag, yet you accused them of such.
Now in you own words “Only certain people are allowed to believe in their team?”
Go think about it, hope it does not cost you the whole day…….
9 Feb 2013, 12:02 pm
@RL-17: RL now you know he will tell you that Mtembu is not a Shark but a Border Bulldog, because he was born there lol

@Sharks_are_gonna_get_you-18:
Aren’t you suppose to be “new” on this blog? What the hell do you know about me if you are so “new” on this blog?
Oh yes, you are wrong with your assertions. If you’ve been on here long enough you would know that I have a lot of positive things to say about Beast, Bissie, Jannie, Keegan, JPP, Adi ( in the past) and even Lambie.
I’m not that much into Fransie though but you know that, even as a “newcomer” on this site, don’t you? That’s what gripe you the most, isn’t it? Somebody who does not care as much for Fransie as you do.
On Shark supporters: I like Rye, Puma,.

@Sharks_are_gonna_get_you-18:
Los nou maar die kak en erken tog maar dat jy ‘n verlore seun is wat teruggekeer het na die vleispotte van Keo. Dit was seker baie eensaam daar anderkant.

Don’t forget Treehugger
9 Feb 2013, 12:18 pm
@nama1-20: You do not think people read a blog before just joining? Also I do not recall ever having said I am new! did say I am not the person I am accused of being, you understand the Difference???????
Simply truth however is that you posts prove what you just posted to me is incorrect.
But I will not sit an argue with you all day re this, I made my point.
9 Feb 2013, 12:27 pm
First the leopards, next world domination
9 Feb 2013, 12:28 pm
@ John Galt are you sure about Keegan? I read he has a minor injury but will be ready but Whitehead has a broken arm…
9 Feb 2013, 12:29 pm
@nortierd-22:
Jip, a good lady.
There are some others as well.
@Sharks_are_gonna_get_you-23:
Well, it just seems as if you’ve paid a lot of attention to my posts as a casual reader then.
Btw, the Sharks have always been my 3rd favorite team behind WP/stormers and the Free state/Cheetahs.
You know that coming back on a blog under another disguise is like cheating on your wife. You always leave some evidence behind no matter how careful you try to be.
No don’t go and call people “shack dwellers” again, OK?
9 Feb 2013, 12:32 pm
@Hurricane-24:
You better believe it.
Wait for it now. you’ll be called “not level headed” because you don’t buy into the Shark hype.
9 Feb 2013, 12:32 pm
@nama1-21: Dude I really do not care of who you think I am and why should I admit to you or anyone else?
Just post your posts re rugby, I mean it is after all why you are here? No?
Fact is though that Mr Black is 100% correct about you.

Wanneer het jy terug gekom Sharks Lover?

9 Feb 2013, 12:37 pm
Lol, Maybe you people should ask Keo to check out the IP addies.
9 Feb 2013, 12:37 pm
Aren’t the Stormsaders fans on the Hore thread with the other sheep?

What a way to go!!!
Man freezes to death after morgue mix-up
Moscow – A Russian man who was wrongly declared dead and placed in a morgue passed away two days later, likely because he froze to death in the ice-cold facility, prosecutors said on Friday.
The tragic mix-up came to light when grave-diggers noticed the man’s eyelid flicker shortly before the scheduled burial.
A short time later the man did actually pass away.
A neighbour had found the 57-year-old man lying motionless in his house and called medics, who declared him deceased and sent him to the morgue.
Authorities suspended two doctors from service over the incident, said prosecutors in Pskow, about 700km northwest of Moscow.
An investigation continued.

@Predawn-33: They seemed to find the need as usual to soil up a Sharks thread.
9 Feb 2013, 12:40 pm
Mtembu is one more blood money suction mercenary manoeuvre by the unscrupulous Sharkishits mogul money bending brethren who should be plying his rugby ability for his home province EP
Ignoring the facts of homogeneous heritage had money not allowed professional profiteers to hijack sport for their own unscrupulous ends Sharkishits would be the ones sucking hind titties and not those who’s natural ability get usurped by the bogus moguls blatant blood money usury.

@skopdiekan-36:
I’m sure Metembu would digress..especially if he were looking at aiming for Springbok honours in the near future.
The Stabane Kings would only make him sit on the bench for one of their four foreign signings.
Who wants to play for a dishonest lying bigot anyway.

And so the savages keep going on the rampage, it matters not if it is a baby a granny and dying woman in hospital….
Rapist found asleep on granny’s bed
2013-02-09 07:20
E Cape man held for raping granny
Man in court for raping granny, 93
Raped granny, 94, begged attacker to stop
Johannesburg – A half-blind, hearing-impaired grandmother was allegedly raped by a man who then fell asleep in her bed in Mthuvi village, Dutywa, Eastern Cape police said on Friday.
Police spokesperson Jackson Manatha said the 69-year-old woman was sleeping in a rondavel with her 12-year-old grandson when a man broke in at 02:00 on Wednesday.
“We suspect that the man was able to push the door open without waking the granny because she cannot hear properly.”
Manatha said the woman was also “partly blind”.
Her grandson told the police he heard noises, but thought his grandmother was going outside to the toilet.
“The man allegedly raped the granny and was able to stop her from screaming. She then ran out of the rondavel and was found at 07:00 sleeping next to the garden by one of the neighbours,” he said.
The neighbour took the woman inside the rondavel to see why she had slept outside.
“But the neighbour was shocked to see running shoes protruding from the granny’s bed. The man fell asleep in bed… he must have been drunk,” said Manatha.
The neighbour pulled the blanket back to find a man sleeping in the bed.
“They were supposed to call the police first, but the suspect woke up and ran away.”
The alleged rapist, in his early 20s, was identified is a neighbour.
He was yet to be arrested.
“We have his name and we are looking for him,” said Manatha.

The Sharks can put together two full teams of first class players…plus there are some youngsters coming through The Sharks Academy…all of them brutes.
9 Feb 2013, 12:51 pm
@Britney Spies-41: Well you are wrong and no, no one is the moer in.
But hey if that is what floats your boat and what you wish to believe? no skin off my back.
Maybe I can have a lot of fun and make ***** in here at SL’s expense??
9 Feb 2013, 12:54 pm
@Britney Spies-40:
Ons h.oor al heeltyd van hul diepte.
Ten minste het hulle alreeds ‘n verskoning as Keegan nie beskikbaar is vir hulle nie goed vaar in hul eerste paar wedstryde nie.
“Ons kaptein en ons beste speler (Bissie) is beseer. Wag net tot hulle terug is.”

Ok, go ahead. Post us two full teams that you believe will be competitive in the S15.
9 Feb 2013, 12:58 pm
@Predawn-42: This will get that fool with the hate speech going,
Besides Carel du Plessis son that has joined the Sharks academy, he is a good 10 by the way, anyhow another excellent flyhalf from Paarl just tweeted me and is Sharks bound, Infact it is his dream.
RT Good luck!“Driaan_Devill: how about some good luck?!! Over 2 weeks flying down to Durban sharks academy for some tests!
