As I asked on aprevious post: No Puke?
1 @ Lion4ever:
Who’s he? Is he still playing at all?
@ Lion4ever:It seems not even Stonehouse can find it in himself to hire the mercenary.
Thought he was supposedto be the next SA captain under HM, according our friends on Voldy
I think Keo may have the inside track to a lot of people, but somehow, I think HM just isn’t as gullible, stupid or about to be held to ransom
4 @ Lion4ever:
Kotsie and Heyneke won’t see eye to eye…. I have no doubt about it.
I think Heyneke would look down on him…. hehehe
5 @ Just For Kicks:
Don’t overrate Keo… the only inside lines he has is to Kotsie and Kotsie’s pappie… oh and to Rian Holborsel (Oberholzer).
7@ grootblousmile:According to puff divvy, and his book, he thought he had a few more! And believe me, I will NEVER overrate him
8 @ Just For Kicks:
Eishhhh, the devisive people in SA rugby circles pisses one off… all in it just for the buck and the position, is’nt it!
@ grootblousmile:Yup, but at least He’s gone to piss off some SASCOC members. Wonder how long that marriage will last? Did you read those exerts from Puff’s book?
10 @ Just For Kicks:
Nah, not really interested in what Snor has to babble about…
Glad to se Stonehouse getting a shot with a representative team, even if it is severely limited in the player pool department.
I really rate him as a coach who consistently gets the best out of a team with VERY LITTLE RESOURCE.
Go Jimmy, give the Poms hell.
