Fantastic to see they aren't buying players that don't play but rather up and coming talent that will be available. Great strategy

Seems they have signed a loose forward that covers 7 and 8. Not sure who.

Please. No more Springboks. They never play

And in other news
After winning the under 20 competition the Sharks are leading the under 19 tournament after beating WP , second placed, last weekend.

Building on its youth rugby. Sharks are steadily ensuring a dynamic future for the union.

Waiting for the announcement of a tight head prop signing.

All these signings are local players. Very very happy with that

I could say that you are not interested in youth rugby and Currie Cup because WP aren't there

This weekend WP has the Pumas and Griquas have the whipping boys the Griffons.

WP is going to get knocked out of 4th spot by Griquas.

I'm happy with the 4 new Sharks poache... I mean signings.

Ig Prinsloo -26 yo tighthead from the Pumas. Listed at 139kg although I have seen reports that he's around 125kg.
Diego Appollis - 22 yo centre from the Pumas. He looks really useful. RJVR and Francois Venter have been disappointing signings. Hope they can overcome injuries and add some value this year.
Siya Masuku - 26 yo flyhalf from Free State. - Not entirely convinced by this one. At least we can properly claim him because he's from Paulpiet.
George Cronje - 22yo flank from Free State - Exciting player. Backrow has been a meh area for us for a while.

Kind thanks to Pumas and Free State for the talent! You're welcome to Hyron Andrews, Curwin Bosch, Gerbrandt Grobler and Cameron Wright if you want them.

And Aphelele Fassi of course. But you chose to keep him. Thank goodness, he almost came our way. :thumbdown:

Use to be in October. The one we won in 2005 was on the weekend after my Birthday. I partied like there was no tomorrow.

Never given it some thought, but only realised how many ex-Sharkies are playing for them. Coenie, Akker, Rob and the twins. :shock:

Coenie and Vincent Koch bring some serious front row brains trust to the Sharks. I'm pretty sure Koch has a decent future as a scrum coach. We have some tidy young props and having two stalwarts like this should really add value. Pity we have Hyron Andrews and Gerbrandt Grobler in the engine room. I'd love a monster lock or two to be signed. Eben is great but is never going to be enough considering his Bok commitments.

Our pool for the Challenge Cup:

Section Paloise, Dragons, Zebre, Oyannax, Sharks

Compared to the pools the Bulls and Stormers are in, at least we stand a chance of getting of our pool :grin:
