superBul
Ek het gewai by Stormers oor Luke Watson se kotsery, nie omdat hulle verloor het nie…..so daai ou wat sulke nonsens praat oor moffies wat oorloop na die Bulle se ma man, wie hy ookal mag wees.
Tjeers, sien julle by die volgende wedstryd.
vanstraaten @ 240
is that personal opinion or fact?
@242 – Both.
Bulle en Stormers wen, is hul nr.1 en 2. Stormers behoort maklik te wen, maar die Bulle het ‘n moeilike een … 😉
bdb – You’re kidding right…
soooooooooooo
does it go something like this?
….
personal opinion: he’s a kak player
incident on field: adi beats defender
you go: ag he was lucky, most of the work was done before that anyway
or another example
personal opinion: he’s a kak player
incident on field: adi gets beaten on defence
you go: see? see? i told you!! this guy cant defend to save his live
and
you totally ignore what happened before that, even though it mightve added to his slip in defence!!
sigh
jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa right!!
Can anyone enlighten me about what is wrong with our scrums in SA? Sharks had a few good hits but it looked like they were out muscled in the scrums. IMO if you don’t start from a solid platform you are always going to struggle.
Dude Adi have his good moments, so does Matt Dunning… Like that drop goal. Doing one or two good things doesn’t make up when you mess up when you need to be counted. He’s a senior player and the Sharks can’t trust in him… Like most of the other senior players…
247: wat is fout met ons skrums ? Antwoord: ons skrums gaan agtertoe, nie vorentoe nie. Van al die SA skrums, lyk die Bulle s’n so ver die sterktste, wie het nou dit verwag ?
sooooooooooo
why single him out?
248: dink jy nog steeds MS is nie ‘n goeie losskakel nie ? 😀
bdb @ 249
en wat vannie ballerinas/ light five etc etc etc
vannie kaap?
WIE HET NOU DIT VERWAG? 😉
bdb @ 251
moenie soe wiesie
almal het opinions
soe nou en dan is mens maar net verkeerd en klaar!!
komaan straatie, jy het darem seker al jou opinion oor daai een gechange, het jy nie?
252: Die ‘light five’ word net die ‘tight five’ as dit CB seisoen is en die Bokke is nie daar nie. O ja, en met so bietjie hul van Pro (WP) Legoete, dan het jul ‘n goeie skrum 😉
bdb @ 254
sien uit na nuweland later vanjaar!
En die tille het gerol
en GBS se beursie is nou vol
en die oompie (GBS) glmlag breed
O Tiere taal
O Bulle Taal
en die oompie (GBS) glimlag breed
hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
anyone?
gbs @ 256
skimp jy dalk dat ek my bankbesonderhede vir jou moet stuur? 😀
ek meen, dit klink nie of jy weet wat jy met die vol beursie moet maak nie!! 😉
To my Sharks friends…
It must be hard to have suffered 5 losses in a row, but the Tjarkies are not giving up and it is clear that they are working on their problems..
Never forget, the Brumbies are a very good team, possibly heading for the semi’s
Dicipline was better today, Goode is getting slightly better, there is better cohesion overall in Sharks play!
Keep the heads up.
255: sien self ook baie uit daarna, hopelik het Bulle al genoeg punte, dan kan ons ons B-span stuur om die stryd meer gelyk te maak daar op Nuweland. 😉
Was daar nie een CB semi op Loftus waar WP met volsterkte span gekom het, toe rus Bulle 13 spelers, en speel toe nogsteeds gelykop ? Kan nie onthou watter jaar dit was nie, maar MS het nog die laaste drie gedruk en oorgeskop.
251: Lyk my VanStraaten is bang om my vraag te antwoord, toe hardloop hy.
gbs @ 259
agree
and one team in the past did manage to win the super competition from a similar position!!
gonna be hard though, but can still be done
@ 249 Ok, now that you have told me the obvious, why do you think they are going backwards and not forward?
258@ Asbak – O nee, ek weet wat om met dit te maak wat in die beursie land….
bdb @ 260
kan nie so iets onthou nie, miskien het jy dit gedroom, hehehe
gbs @ 264
o, wou net seker maak!! 😆
bdb @ 261
dink jy hy’t nog steeds nie sy opinie gechange nie?
Not that bad by the Sharks, it sux losing the fifth one in a row, but the Brumbies are tough, especially at home.
Sharks are trying to hard for the win, they should go out and enjoy the game now, the season is over, time to give the young blood S14 experience also.
I’m still impressed with the boys, just the breakdown that seems to be costing us the game, seems the Sharks are struggling to get used to the new interpretations.
firestrauli @ 268
they played much better today and have just fallen short.
any other flyhalves available at the sharks?
268@ Vuurtjie – Sharks MUST play their best team each week from now on, there is pride to salvage, there are the other SA sides to assist. There are Bokke places to play for.
Next they play the Highlanders…. and they must put things back on track there.
