What's your problem?

That I know but that salary is massive! 3 Million thats close to the amount some of the ministers steal a month from the government. Is he worth that irrespective if you like him or not? Don't think Pocock get paid that much!

Cheeky's not too impressed with the Super Compromise.

Southern Kings president Cheeky Watson has hit out at the SA Rugby Union (Saru) for a belated decision to give the Eastern Cape franchise only one guaranteed season of Super Rugby participation.

Saru announced this afternoon that the Kings would play in the 2013 Super Rugby competition, with the Lions dropping out for at least one year.

“I think it is a ludicrous decision,” Watson said after the decision was made at a Saru general council meeting in Cape Town.

“It doesn’t make sense in rugby, not in business, not in the church.

“It doesn’t make sense in any sector of society that you are sitting with a scenario that you are in Super Rugby for one year and expected to achieve.

“But I think we, as the South Eastern Cape, play the hand that we are dealt and we make the best of it.”

Its amazing how much he can complain for someone that's just been handed a spot on a platter. And let's be honest he wasn't given it because of his rugby abilities.

EP Kings are looking great. I'm sure that they will top the log, and should go on to win the First Division. I just hope that after that they can go on and win the promotion play off.
