I am really happy Notsche has found a home and become a member of the Sharks family. Always thought he was a shirker before...but it seemed like he was told to play that way...and listening to that Dobson article I was thinking what a doos he is... A house friend...? Wtf is that supposed to mean. W...

No match fred, so to avoid the trolls, I'm posting here. Up against it this time. We need our forwards to fire, if they don't, our backs don't have a plan B. Dawie Snyman need to get the backs to fire. I hope we give the Prince a go. Might as well. Definitely the underdogs for this one. I just don'...

I think our backline in general needs a re-think. Dan duP is still injured but I'd love to see him and Rikus partner in the midfield in the future. Both have good futures if one can stay healthy and the other gets an opportunity before he buggers off somewhere else. Agree re the centres. One just h...

Meihuizen had a good game He is a proper lock. Its very good to see Ikeys is up to Maties Takes two teams to have a good intervasity He is a great lock. Stories are he is being targeted by Scotland. The Maties lock Ben Jason-Dixon is also very good, gave the Ikeys a torrid time in the lineouts. Lin...

In particular, the Sharks have thrived off turnover ball, which they often create with a well-executed kick-and-chase through Springbok wings Sbu Nkosi and Makazole Mapimpi. It was interesting to note that Damian Willemse lined up at fullback during shadow training on attack and defence on Monday ,...

Rosco got player of the week with his 3 tries..... :thumbup: Rosco was good but his celebrations irritated me. His last try all he had to do was catch, run straight and dot down. If it was me I would have run to the guy who made the awesome pass or the forwards who set up the platform to thank them...

Congrats Sharks, brilliant display to make the Jags look a bit ordinary at times. Focus on attack is working and it is enjoyable to watch.

beachboy

For a non Bulls supporter I really enjoyed that second half performance. Hopefully that will give them the confidence to win one or two on the road. Dont enjoy the wing celebrations when all they do is catch run and dot down, like they created the try. They should be acknowledging team mates who cre...

beachboy

This will be the Sharks toughest match to date. I think with recent results the Sharks will be pretty confident and playing at home, will just pip the Jags. Just the effect of travel and maybe a little fatigue could stymie them. I would almost be tempted to call a draw but home advantage could count...

@ Vleis. I was speaking to one of our coaches and he told me we lost two tight head props in pre-season warm up games. One concussion and who will never play rugby again (really feel for the youngster). The other is ex Pukke prop(Robert Hunt), but he is back in training and hopefully available for ...

Well certainly there was no competition from the Stormers or Bulls players this past week-end. The Sharks/Stormers game is going to be interesting. Sharks certainly the favourites at this stage and the form SA team.

beachboy

Disappointing from the Stormers. Some of the players looked complacent, like they expected to dominate easily and were just not mentally up for a tough game. There were one or two players who need a kick up the backside after that performance. I would rather have a youngster giving his all on the pi...

Tactical kicking and distribution Bosch is probably ahead at the moment. Jantjies is playing well in weaker team. Personally I have been a little disappointed with Willemse. On Saturday he went for a try short of the line when he should have been looking to play the ball back and got turned over. Pr...

I like Notshe and PSDT, they both offer you different skills. Stats cant be seen in isolation. Generally speaking stats will mean more to the coaching staff in the context of the role of the player.

Dobbo is very good at building a team with spirit and keeping them humble. Not playing to potential and being 3/3 is a decent start.

What I did like, is when we were required to up the tempo and score we did. However, we were very sloppy in the last ten minutes handing over possession to the Lions far too easily and we left a number of scoring opportunities on the park. The other good news is that both Schickerling and Trokkie ar...

The Stormers need to shop around for a hooker. Scarra is great but he is still carrying some of last years injury ( he has not fully recovered) and should be playing off the bench. The impact hooker is not doing that, making any impact, in fact the exact opposite. Dobbo should even consider picking ...
