    Well done Pops… We all knew it was going to happen – it was just the score that shocked most…

    Anyways next year Sharks…

    Will Juandre bietjie luister gou, waar is Emhlangeni, my broer vra, hy ry rond agter sulke goete aan, die wereld vol?

    The # doing a Jayawardene in the Cricket. Well done him. If we can bat for a few more hours, bowl incredibly tightly for a day and a half, dry up the Lankan runs, we have a chance of saving the match.

    Good result for rugby. JW deserves no trophy or reward for taking the sharks back to a dour game plan that worked in the middle ages.

  • 365

    So wat het ons geleer vandag ?

    1. Jy wen nie die trofee as jy nie 1 of 2 op die log eindig nie.

    2. dit word elke jaar net moeiliker om die supertrofee te wen, absoluut alles moet vir jou regloop.

    Daarom is ek net bly dat my ou spannetjie wat nou so sukkel dit darem al 3 keer gewen het. Ander SA spanne moet nou hul deel begin doen, Bulle kan nie alles vir SA doen nie.

    At least the Sharkboks have a decent lay off.

    365 @ Ben:
    Wie het vir die Sharks gese om teen die Stormers en Cheetahs te verloor?
    Dis hulle eie skuld dat hulle nie in die top 2 geeindig het nie, en al het hulle, sou die Crusaders in Durban ook vir hulle gebliksem het

    Ha ha, this just on Facebook…..What’s the difference between Jake White and God? God doesn’t think he is Jake White.

    The joke started a number of years ago… as the difference between Bono (from U2) and God 🙂

    He certainly knows how to pick his teams…the Black and White dynamite that doesn’t quite boom when it counts and the useless Frogs

    Emhlangeni is between Delmas & Springs in an area called Rietkol, near the little village of Sundra.

    He’s probably campaigning that Thailand must get the conference instead of Singapore or Japan

    @ robzim:
    I am still trying yo figure that plan of Jake’s….you talking about only running in their half, kicking for position, bashing up the ball with big forwards from there, and spreading it only the last 20 meters or so….serious question, by the way?
    But happens if your kickers are up to maggots, like Steyn and Lambie today….dan is jy mos in jou moer…

    @ Pietman:
    But WHAT happens….I meant.

    Will Jake be able to keep his snake in his trousers with all that white trash in CHCH?

    I hope sharks supporters who love to slag off Wynand Olivier and Zane Kirchner can appreciate that those players had what it takes to win super Rugby. Reinach, sp marais and paul jordaan were pathetic today. Bismarck should never be captain. The sharks had a better change today with keegan Cullen captaining the side from the full back position.

    The forwards did alright, but HM and the bokke who love their locks needs to understand that whitelock and bird could both walk into must teams at lock. They were phenominal today.

    Thomas du toit who replaces beast made 0 tackles today. 0 freakin tackles :O

    Hi GBS

    I have just got my son in law to register. Please take a look and confirm his registration. Shame he supports the Bulls…

    @ MacroBull:
    Putting some articles up, but not even going to bother with the Sharks, they were terrible, and rightly most articles deal with the winners and the sides that performed.
    Brumbies at least put up some sort of fight

    Gummi mate, nothing we say can compare to what their own supporters haven’t also said, just 10X worse, have a look at EmoWorld.
    Now Jake is kak and must go, last week he was still in line to become mayor of Durban

    Not surprising, seeing as that camo jerseys does sort of remind one of a huge turd, flies do like that aperitif….

    Still waiting for the Jake excuses, barring the one he brought out last week about the teams ending 1st and 2nd on the log will win
