Ok, geriatrics ward...let my rephrase my poorly received attempt at humour and ask the question behind the question. And bear in mind that I support the Sharks when playing international opponents, and have even on one occasion worn a Shark jersey and beanie (which was later peed on by a Bulls supporter, long story), even though I think they are one of the constantly overrated ( or at least underperforming) teams in Super rugby. :-)

So, assuming the Reds don't play like total ****s, who do reckon will win on Saturday?

If the Sharks perform at 80% and they Lambie is slotting them over from all over again then I will back the Sharks by less than 7.
If the Sharks play like they did vs the bulls and/or play at anything below 80% then I will back the reds by less than 7.

Agree with this. I picked Sharks to win by 3.

I think you have it spot on. Thanks.
 
Reds captain James Horwill , came out in the media stating that despite 3wins the Reds are yet to find their best form. :erm:


Sharks need to get their season on track with another win.




/OT whats up with the fusckin pathetic refereeing being dished out to South African teams ?
 
I wonder why they have dropped Paul Jordaan out of the 22, he really seemed to make the backline spark when he came on.
 
B. du Plessis has had more than enough time and opportunity to prove himself as a player. I believe he costs us more than he makes in terms of his turnovers. He should rather play for the Balls, I mean Bulls.

As for captaincy of the side? No one stands out and that perhaps is one of the biggest problems in the squad.

Not to offend anyone but the Sharks do do some strange things sometimes.

+1. The captaincy of a team is a very under rated aspect imho. I am just happy that the spies seems to be working as captain for the Bulls.

If the Sharks were consistent, they would be one of the toughest teams to beat... Sadly though, they blow hot and cold and it's very visible in each performance. That's why the Bulls, and now Stormers, do well... consistency.

Was that the opener this year, or was it the the 2007 final?

Tssssssssssssssss!

Such bad memories brought to bare :D
 
A lot of 'big names' that seriously need to up their game or fsck off from the Sharks. Bismarck being enemy number one ...... can't throw a lineout ball anymore and plays stupid. His brother is just a lazy scrummager now, gives nothing to the game. And some of these new players just seem to be totally dumb and clueless about the rules/game, like seriously doing atrociously dumb stuff as if they don't know any better.

All the forwards seem to be afraid of contact. Hope the second half is better.
 
What gets me is that we do not attack the ruck/maul/tackle situation. Sometimes there is a single Reds' player over the ball yet we all back off to form a defensive line. Two ro three guys should bind together and ruck over the ball....
 
And I don't rate this chop[ prop Chadwick at all, he can't scrum for shyte and he's a lazy player too
 
lol, well done to the Sharks, excellent victory considering the 17-0 scoreline at 30 minutes. They found an extra gear, added some of the typical, hard abrasive forward play that only South African and New Zealand players can dish up and the Reds wilted under the pressure. Injuries to key players in the Reds back line inevitably took its toll. An indication once again that to advance in this competition you need depth and lots of it.

Marcel Coetzee was my man of the match followed by McLeod. Solid performance from the 2 of them.
