Plum confirms loss of Daniel
11 Feb 2013
Sharks coach John Plumtree has confirmed the loss of Keagan Daniel and Tim Whitehead for the opening rounds of Super Rugby.
Reports from Keo.co.za followers earlier suggested injuries to Daniel and Whitehead that would see them out of action from anything between a month and two.
Those visitors to the site have reported that Whitehead broke his arm and will be out for six to eight weeks and Daniel hurt knee ligaments and could be out for anything from four to eight weeks.
Sharks coach Plumtree was contacted and confirmed that the conservative estimate on Daniel is a month and the prognosis on Whitehead is six weeks.

Whitehead broke his arm. Out for 6-8 weeks.
Keegan did some knee ligaments. Awaiting scan results.

@ufo-1:
Keegan for 6
Whitehead maybe 8

@pokkel-2:
thanks for the info…
let’s hope keegan’s results aren’t too bad…

The Sharks have a bye in Round 7 so Daniel could only return in the eighth round when they host the Crusaders at Kings Park.
Whitehead could return for the Sharks 9th round match against Stormers in Cape Town or a week later when they host the Cheetahs in Durban.

thanks willie…
(sorry didn’t see your post while replying to pokkel…)

There are enough substitutes.
Jean Deysel as captain. Any one of the flankers can fill in at eighth man.
11 Feb 2013, 14:39 pm
Keegan will only miss the first 4 maybe 5 games and Tim about 6… The first Games are in 2 weeks time…
11 Feb 2013, 14:47 pm
Predawn Fransie has been named Captain…

@THE MAULER-9:
Yep..but wondering if that is the best decision…unless the kid has suddenly become a lot more mature in the last two seasons. Hopefully he has kicked that sulking shite into touch.

Daniel isn’t really injured. He was caught having it off with Plum’s Mrs. I know this because I’m really close to the squad.
Keo, you should ignore the other posters here and only turn MY “really informed” comments into articles.
11 Feb 2013, 15:03 pm
@willievz-3: Pity. Alll HG’s fault. Speedy recovery to both.
11 Feb 2013, 15:14 pm
watching one of the doccies detailing the 2009 BIL tour, at halftime fransie has a real go at the guys in the changeroom and its clear they all listened.
the lad is a lad no more, he is a bok veteran with 2 world cups and a stint overseas behind him and i am hoping we see him lead the sharks to glory.
at least he is a center that deserves a starting place…..
11 Feb 2013, 15:18 pm
Predawn I think he has grown up and will see a more mature player… Plum has confidence in him.

@robdylan-11: wtf?
dont start malicious rumours rob, this is enemy territory in case you didnt know.
11 Feb 2013, 15:21 pm
@The Rangerman-15: I’m trying to see if Keo will pick my informed comment up and turn it into an article
11 Feb 2013, 15:23 pm
@robdylan-11:
you’re not robzim
11 Feb 2013, 15:24 pm
or are you…?
or are you just trying to confuse everyone…?
11 Feb 2013, 15:25 pm
@robdylan-16: on a late night bender he is capable of anything.
mind you i too can surprise myself.
11 Feb 2013, 15:33 pm
@The Rangerman-15:
exactly..
a bit like discussing your new landcruiser prado in a ssangyong showroom
11 Feb 2013, 15:37 pm
The Sharks will be better off without Daniel. The real loss will be ,Whitehead.
11 Feb 2013, 15:40 pm
@ufo-17: well spotted
11 Feb 2013, 15:41 pm
Give Frans the captaincy…
6 Marcell Coetzee
7 Willem Alberts
8 Ryan Kankowski
19 Jean Deysel
Wouldn’t mind seeing Pieter-Steph du Toit used on the blindside though.
11 Feb 2013, 15:45 pm
@robdylan-22:
why choose a nic so close to his…?
just asking…
11 Feb 2013, 15:46 pm
They will more than likely miss the Cheetahs(Bloem), Stormers(KP), Kings(PE), Brumbies(KP), Rebels(KP).
Not too bad.
Just make sure they are ready for the Crusaders at home and the Stormers away the following week.

@charo-20: great analogy.
though it could be a D4D doublecab at a picanto fanclub meeting
11 Feb 2013, 16:01 pm
@The Rangerman-27:
Piccantos are underrated.
11 Feb 2013, 16:02 pm
@robdylan-26:
oh… okay…
well then…
welcome back…!
11 Feb 2013, 16:04 pm
Hendrikp that is exactly how I would play them… And they have Terra too…
11 Feb 2013, 16:05 pm
@THE MAULER-30: @hendrikp-23: Me too
11 Feb 2013, 17:40 pm
Bad luck my guppies, Daniel K Cullen will be missed. Tom Whitehead will be missed even more…

“Reports from Keo.co.za followers earlier”
Kudos to keo for acknowledging the contribution of his bloggers.This is actually why I visit this site..to get rugby news.And to the blogger who first broke the news,big ups man!!
11 Feb 2013, 18:24 pm
@Rage-33:
I agree. To often in the past I’ve noticed stories posted that seem to have been inspired by a bloggers comments, without any acknowledgements.

neo-keo…?

Robdylan
Why don’t you p*ss off back to your p*sswilly nonentity of a get-along gang fan site instead of causing kak here. You burnt your bridges here a long while back and skinner about what they say here on “voldy” too frequently on your little site to be allowed to waltz back here and cause kak without anyone picking you up on it.
Funny thing is, if anyone causes kak on your website, they’re banned in seconds.
11 Feb 2013, 21:06 pm
@robdylan-11: you are not rob – who the fck are you. I suspect ones of transformers multinics.
11 Feb 2013, 21:24 pm
@RL-37: he runs Sharksworld, the biggest bunch of Sharks whingers around. A few years back they (a very small group) left Keo to set up their own site. You are banned from mentioning the word “Keo” or this blog on their site, which they refer to by the code name “Voldy”, which is why I’m surprised to see robdylan back here (but then, his comments were all rather barbed, weren’t they?).
11 Feb 2013, 21:26 pm
@RL-37: there is a connection with transformation though… The blogger we know as Transie writes articles on their site (when he’s not slagging off the Sharks) under the name Megatron… another of his multinics….
11 Feb 2013, 21:30 pm
@ 35 ufo
I didn’t get that?
11 Feb 2013, 21:36 pm
@Chico the Chihuahua-38:
You should get your facts right about the origin of the term Voldy and Ruggaworld, now run by PA. Rob has posted on here for a while even though he runs Sharksworld.
11 Feb 2013, 21:38 pm
@David-41: and you are known for posting blatant falsities to fuel your pro Stormer agenda!
Please inform us when last you saw Robdylan post on Keo since he split? And try to keep the Stormers out of it, ok?
11 Feb 2013, 21:40 pm
Also, are you denying they call Keo “voldy” on Sharksworld and that the mere mention of Keo can get you a banning (or a swift threat of a banning) on Sharksworld?
Interested to here what you have to say, David. And try keep your Stormer agenda out of it, ok?
11 Feb 2013, 21:47 pm
So who are you chicken licken chichi chihuahua you that other little Sharkishit Woosie Spoonful of Spiteful Spittle or you a displaced well kept keo key keeper
11 Feb 2013, 21:47 pm
Hahaha.It seems that Rob kicked our Chihuahua friend to the kerb.
11 Feb 2013, 21:50 pm
I read ALL the blogs. I am omnipresent.
@S_K-45: are you that twit Skyewalker back under a different nick? Or perhaps Capo/wnbb?
11 Feb 2013, 21:53 pm
The term Voldy came up on ruggerworld and adopted by defectors to sharksworld and rugby talk alike but it originated on ruggerworld
11 Feb 2013, 22:05 pm
@Chico the Chihuahua-42:
What Stormers agenda are you referring to, you funny little creature? Rob has posted here a number of times over the last few years. As for Trannie, why shouldn’t he post on Sharksworld under a different nic. Hell, you disguise who you really are.
11 Feb 2013, 22:09 pm
@Chico the Chihuahua-46: Now you getting paranoid as well.Rob ain’t out to get you!
11 Feb 2013, 22:13 pm
How did ruggerworld started.Did Pissant also defect from Keo? Seems that quite a lot of people get quickly disillusioned on here and start up their own thing.Chicoworld could be an idea for the next chap that leaves.
11 Feb 2013, 22:20 pm
@S_K-50:
Ruggaworld started as a site to bridge the gap between the end of the SA rugby season and beginning of the next one, when Keo and his guys were hibernating. PA never abandoned Keo, as he regularly blogs here.
As for Chico, his nic describes him perfectly. Just a little dog that’s mindlessly yapping.
11 Feb 2013, 22:51 pm
Voldy the Villan
I bet Keo is actually thrilled!!

rage@40
neo is a combining form meaning “new,” “recent,” “revived,” or “improved,” used in the formation of compound words such as neoclassic, neoorthodoxy or neophyte etc…
so based on favourable comments of his recent articles I was asking or suggesting that maybe this would be the ‘new’ or ‘improved’ style of article we could expect from keo…
12 Feb 2013, 07:07 am
@S_K-50:
What do you do when you are banned?
Poodle world?
12 Feb 2013, 07:58 am
@53 ufo
Yes I know what neo means pal,but I did not know in what context you presented it and did not want to assume! But ja honestly,if yesterday’s articles are anything to go by…Im happy with the neo keo!
12 Feb 2013, 08:25 am
rage@55
cool bud… sorry, for the confusion…
yeah, me too…
12 Feb 2013, 10:56 am
Ufo
All good sir!
12 Feb 2013, 13:26 pm
With Whitehead out, the Frans/Jordaan centre combo will be afforded the opportunity to settle. Jordaan is a better option at 13 than Whitehead. Whitehead is primarily a 12
Have your say
