At least we have a decent ref this time ...... Lions won't be having a 16th man this time

 

[DWPTA]

I dunno about, hey. Kaplan kan like to be een eye sometimes you know.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Suppose it depends on if the Lions made him a decent offer for the week or not

 

[DWPTA]

Well I think they can sponser R100K from that R45million to him.............

Love that backline

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Hehe, a bit of stirring on my part This is a few snips from an article -

guys like Ashwin ‘leaden-legs’ Willemse

the Lions have the diminutive general Pretorius warming the bench

A lesser known fact is that Rose is so unstable his name actually appears on the periodic table right under Potassium. One minute he’s igniting the backs, the next he’s spontaneously combusted

 

[wizdumb]

i think with andre back, it puts rose under pressure, so he'll perform more often than before...

...but i am getting more and more excited for this w'ends game. LIONS to wins by 7 now

 

[Abe]

I think Todd Clever played exceptionally last week. Would like to see him on the field taking on golden boy Keegan Daniel.

 

[Pitbull]

Tomorrow I'm going to miss Jaco Pretorius I hope they can Pin Francois Steyn down.

But Lions to take it by 7 points.

 

[Devill]

My heart said lions, my head sharks

Damn if the lions can just keep their players for 4 years.......

I'm a big fan of Jaco Pretorius and wish him well at the Bulls, but I agree with you 100%. The Lions need to keep their players happy and keep them when they are in demand.

For that to happen, we need to fill the stadium so that GLRU can afford to pay these players the better salaries they need.

Sad but true.

Pre-emptive commiserations to you all.

Sharks 28 - 16 Lions

There's more chance of Julius Malema joining the Boeremag than the Lions winning tomorrow...

 

[wizdumb]

....but watch this space, LIONS ftw!

 

[HypoThesis]

I see Monochoice heard that the Lions were playing tonight and have decided to televise the game in HD!

[waynegohl]

Mark Kaplan tells the Lions captain that they been infringing for 20 mins yet the clock is on 16 mins.
