They don't have good coaches. Laurie Mains came in and they played brilliant rugby. Won the currie cup in 99 and also, came in the semi-final of the super12.
The problem is the coaching staff.

I highly doubt you can blame the Coaching staff.
It's a bigger problem, starting right at the desk of the Managing Director of GLRU all the way down to the accounts lady. That and the fact that Ellispark is located in the worst possible place on earth.
I would agree and also disagree, the weekend i went to EPS with my wife and some family members, when we bought our tickets we also bought parking tickets which you park inside the stadium. Then for other safety concerns i can not recall one issue this year so far(and i've been to all the LIONS games at EPS) because the police is very active during and after the games.
Yes it is not a good location but it is not as unsafe as every body wants it to be.

Hi Walter
I see Willem Alberts is named in the squad but I see a lot of talk about him joining the Sharks next year. We all know him and Ludick were eager to get out of their contracts but I believe Ludick will be staying. Any news on Alberts?

I think both of them are lost to the Lions. Sounds like Ludik already moved house to Durban, and Alberts is just finishing his exams at UJ before he makes the move as well.
I thought the lions weren't going to renew Earl Rose's contract.
Interesting that a shark is joining the Lions ranks (Dick Muir).
Well the lions included them in their S14 player group.
So we will have to wait and see what is happening there, as the lions clearly think they have a valid contract.
