I heard that Sadie was a bit of a prima donna and expected that his place in the side would be a given and he spent a lot of training sessions sulking. He was injured for about two thirds of the season and then whinges about the "structure" not being to his liking? What, the bench he sat on...

Stats schmats. It's what you do with the thing when you have it. Also look at the Sharks defensive structure and you will see why they miss so many tackles. It's either rush defense or up and in. They will always miss more tackles than a drift defense but the upside is more dominant tackles...

Etzebeth yes, Burger no. Vermeulen now apparently 70% to start.

So if the Sharks travel back to Cape Town, beat the Stormers and travel back to CC and lose to the Saders they have choked? Tongue in cheek comment or just general bitterness?

Sharks bets option is to go all out with a high risk game and get points on the board because the Stormer's are unlikely to chase them down. If the Stormers start well they will win.

Losing teams will always moan about the ref and focus on their side of the coin. Only natural. We all do it. Kaplan should move on to the referee retirement home and the very first thing he should do upon arrival is to find Bryce Lawrence and farque-slap him like a bitch.

Much like those Reds forwards taking space behind the ruck, even after getting warned repeatedly. It didn't happen. Thanks goodness for that. I think we should just agree that Kaplan is way past sell by and all move on.

Thanks. Should I drink or go to bed? Or drink and then go to bed?

The only silver lining is that now I don't need to listen to Nisbo and his fucking sidekick sideline Smitty any longer. There is a fine line between criticizing an opposing team and being condescending. Smitty doesn't know from that line. Oh fuck I am pissed we didn't even make the Crusaders...

Horrible. Just horrible. Travel all the way and dish up this shit. Morne Steyn. Thanks for the memories. Off you go. Time to sign that overseas deal. Absolutely fucking disgraceful account of themselves. I feel sick.

Again. Alberts has played plenty lock including in a Bok jumper. He is completely suited to playing number 4 where he has to play a tight game hitting rucks. Added benefit is the ball carrying which is the core of the Sharks way of playing. They are not suddenly going to change that now and they...

Oh so I am to blame for all of Queensland being over sensitive? :) Ok, I'll take that.

Goodness gracious Queenslanders are a sensitive bunch. Ten years in NSW and I am starting to understand the hullabaloo of this us and them back and forwards thingamajig. Is it something in the water up there?

For his own sake he should hope they let him go. Talk about mismanagement. Grant it his pass can be suspect but to go from the top try scorer and absolute tyro last year to an average player this year? How does this happen? Sharks can do well to get him I reckon. Suits their direct style of...

You forget to easily that the Reds crowds were shit for years as the Reds helped those shit SA teams to prop up the bottom of the log. The Union almost went belly up before link started knocking the thing back into shape. Sully nothing wrong. But you would seriously expect a playoff home game...

He was our best player in the World Cup and and was solid as against England. Seen enough.

Two three years ago and certainly before going to France, yes. Very different player now. Far more dependable and doesn't seem to have brain explosions any more. At least I have seen very little of it in two years and I watched a lot of Racing Metro games on TV. HE has matured very nicely...

Yes. He subbed there a few times this year and played a blinder in the second half last week. Alberts started his career at the Lions more as a lock. He played mostly at lock last year in the RWC when we had a locking crisis and was our best forward. Before the emergence of Etsebeth, Alberts...

Sharks have completely fallen to pieces in playoff road games over the years. Having said that their form over the last four games is the best I remember it. Ever. Strong tight five, dynamic back row, good kicking game and real game breakers playing with confidence. The Reds need their A...

Tom Carter goneski. Just think of the aggravation saved all round, not to mention the bandwidth. No more Monkey-cloud-whateverthefark is a positive thing. God bless all monkeys. And clouds.
