+1 I have been a Sharks supporter for the last like 20 years, in good times and in bad and I won't ever change! I may be 80 and living in Japan and I'll still support the Sharks and the Boks :cool:

Problem with switching to another team is:

Once things start going wrong there, you will just move along again. And believe me, it will go wrong again. Even with the Bulls.

But if you really do need to jump ship, my money would be on the Stormers for now. Looks like things are falling into place now.

I'm with the Reds since the sharks are dying for now. Not saying the Reds will win the super 14, just betting on them doing well :D

This is the stats for the Sharks Cheetahs game! I fail to see how the sharks was done in wrt penalties! I fail to see where the Sharks was done in by the ref - it was more a case of the Sharks just didn't play well enough to actually win the game!

SA Referees said:
(iii) Sharks vs Cheetahs

Penalties conceded: 25

Sharks: 10
Cheetahs: 15

Reasons for the penalties:

Sharks:
Tackle: 7 (Hargreaves, Pienaar*, Ndungane, Deysel*, Smit, Pietersen, Daniel*)
Offside: 1 (Sykes)
Scrums: 1 (Smit)
Discipline: 1 (Botes - air tackle)

Cheetahs:
Tackle: 8 (Breedt, Frans Viljoen 2, De Bruyn, Brüssow*, Smith, De Villiers, Pretorius)
Offside: 3 (Brüssow*, De Bruyn, Strauss)
Scrum: 2 (Strauss, Nel)
Discipline: 2 (Frans Viljoen - man without ball; De Villiers - +10)

The Sharks missed three penalty kicks at goal, the Cheetahs one.

Free kicks conceded

Sharks: 2 (scrums)
Cheetahs: 1 (scrum)

Line-outs

Sharks: 8 (1 skew)
Cheetahs: 9 (1 quick)

Scrums

Sharks: 6 (3 resets, 2 collapses, 2 penalties)
Cheetahs: 13 (4 resets, 4 collapses, 3 free kicks, 1 penalty)

Drop-outs

Sharks: 1
Cheetahs: 4

Stoppages: 76

If you wanna jump ship... just stop watching rugby, if you are the kind of supporter that only supports a team when things go well, you should rather not watch the sport...

every team has its slumps, the bulls had a huge one, and i still remember all the bulls vs a samoosa jokes.... but i sticked with them through it all, and now its going well again :)

All you non-sharks supporters please stop trolling and freeloading in our thread, even though it makes you feel warm inside. Thank you. :D

Wow! What a disappointing start to the season with 4 straight losses, although the last 2 could have gone the Sharks way.

Regardless, I remain a Sharks supporter through thick and thin :)

And good to see the performance by Lions (even though they lost), Stormers and Bulls. ;)

Congrats to Cheetahs who somehow keep the jinx on the Sharks :confused:

Black & white till I die! From the time of the banana boy's I wore the colors!

Both games could have gone either way, its minor things thats costing us. I thought we played much better this week.
We could have won by a big margin if we kept ball in hand.

I'm hoping our history of playing decently away comes a knocking before we take on the Crusaders tomorrow. I'm keen for a good game that I know the guys are capable of .......
