No.

Yes.

 

[faniebraai]

It's becoming clear now. You just hate Pollard. Thanks for basically admitting it.

I'll like one guy better, you'll like someone else better, and the next guy will prefer Catrakillis. It's all moot, since we don't get to pick the team.

Hate him? That's a bit strong. But I wouldn't mind him breaking a knee this week.

Dude, Pollard is out of form. He's playing kak. He needed to be dropped. But it's too late now.

You justify Pollard in the based on "potential" and "1 game last year"... veery solid

 

[faniebraai]

Yes.

Definitely No.

What gets me is that he was clearly off form and yet HM still handed him the Durban test because it was important to get a win..

Did I say he isn't out of form? He's still at least the 2nd best we have - I watched the Currie Cup this weekend and nobody I saw would be nearly at his level at international level.

The only way he'll get into form, is by playing, and that will happen against the minnows at the world cup, so don't have a heart attack if he starts the first game against Japan. I can already see apeschit in this thread when Pollard is picked for that game.

I didn't like Jake White that much, but I tried to see his reasoning for picking someone like Skinstad in 2007, or De Wet Barry in 2006 when he was already clearly way past his best. You give a guy a chance. So if yours isn't hate, I dunno what is.

I thought with HM persisting with Pollard through the Rugby Championship as him trying to get Pollard to get into form... if anything, he got worse.

Please don't be that typical blue bull who things the whole world hates on them. The guys is out of form. Lambie is benchwarming all the time, and his talent is going to waste imo. He needs game time as well, come the big games and Pollard still isn't up for it. You can't just keep playing pollard, and then with 20minutes to go drop Lambie in with no game time and hope he can rescue the game for us.

Besides, we have more problems than just the flyhalf. The flyhalf is just one of those key positions whereby when it goes wrong, the whole team suffers.

You are confusing me with someone else. And you are the one nitpicking. No coach can keep everyone happy.

And he won't be benchwarming in the world cup. Lambie I mean. Again, you are under-estimating Meyer. Don't act like he got the job out of a lucky draw - he earned it by being our most successful Super Rugby coach ever. He in fact should have gotten the job in 2008. You're acting like he was lucky to get the job, while his credentials say the opposite.

So you're being anti-Blue Bull, if anything.

i'm at a loss for words... luister jy nie wat ek sê nie, of hoor jy wat jy wil hoor?

i think this argument has run its course...

Pollard had loads of potential, but he just doesn't have consistent BMT. Neither does Lambie, but I will choose Lambie over Pollard.

Also remember that Heineke's win % drop from high 70%, maybe low 80% to 65% after Zane and Morne left.

Just because Pollard and Willie looks more aggressive they are not necessarily better.

Morne has balls of steel, and he is the better place kicker from all of them.

I think so too. Pot, kettle and black comes to mind. Just because I don't agree with you I don't listen? Pffffft. Lions supporters have been sour since the whole Kings saga, trying to take your anger out on the Bokke, where all Blue Bulls fully supported you guys, just for the record, but it's getting ridiculous.

Believe what you want. The coach isn't gonna change just coz you hate him.

Brussow and COetzee has been told to be on standby

“Heinrich and Marcell Coetzee will be on standby, so there is a chance that they could still feature at the World Cup,” said Meyer.

JdV is oor die muur, and shouldn't be there. So I'm a WP hater now as well?

You have this idea that I "hate" these players/coach because they are from the Blue Bulls... I don't give a schit where they are from! They could be from the Lions, and I'll still give them schit. Unlike you, I don't walk around constantly with my Blue Bull oog klappe...

Your opponents also improve, the game change, it’s a team sport. In our last games, the opposition challenged le Roux's high ball game and took away his room to allow him manoeuvrability, he needs to adapt (and I think this is something the Sharks will give him). We can't expect to win every game, what we can expect is to play consistently throughout the entire 80 minutes.

We had bloody good games against the All Blacks and Australians in the Championship, but we only played 60 minutes and I doubt that Kirchner or Steyn would had win the game.

The Pumas game in Durban, no Springbok played rugby on that day.

Yes you do, with your Lions-tinted glasses. Your posts have made this clear as day.

Am with Fanie on this one, you seem to have a minor persecution complex with it comes to HM and Pollard.

Thanks for your concern, but I'll trust Heyneke on this one rather than you.
