What was Dobson thinking? Playing ever absent Kolisi and Klein PSdT and bring Gim Hoofseun Ernst up. All of them passengers. We missed 6 flankers.
This weekend you, ll see Marko winning the CC for the Bulls

This was always the WP way, long before Dobson.Chilli wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 6:43 amThe thing is, it has been their game plan all season. And to an extent it has worked. The fanatical WP supporters have been telling us all season long that it is Rassies's WC Winning game plan that they are just following. Winning ugly is better than losing. Well sadly Dobson ain't Rassie, they game plan has been very poorly executed against pretty average team to grind out wins and the win % hasn't been that great.FalseBayFC wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 5:19 am WP's attempt to score from rolling mauls were hilariously bad. As was a lot of their forward play. They seem to have a leadership problem. With no Kitshoff and PSDT they looked rudderless.
Willemse should be given a chance at inside centre and if he fails should be dumped. Swiel still not convincing.
All of our teams lack experience. Cornal Hendricks, Morne, Willem Alberts, Francois Steyn etc really showed there worth. Our teams need to recruit wisely from the diaspora. With Brexit and Covid it looks to be getting easier to do this. I predict the Sharks with their new investors will follow the Bulls example soon.
The WP, like most other Unions, need a complete clean out of staff and players.
Kick for the corners and play in the opposition's 22.
Without Bosch's long range boot it would probably have worked, too.

Best we went out in the semi final.
Yesterday the Bulls would put 50 up against us. They'll put 50 up against the Sharks in the final.

Quite, Sharks will really need to switch on to avoid turning the positive of making the final from a negative experience that effects the players confidence in future finals, even if the year is a bit of a write-offOomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 9:51 am Best we went out in the semi final.

Gracious winner...Sards wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 3:55 am You have to wonder what impact this is going to have on Province players
Surely now they are going to look to escape the ANC faction ruining their Union.
If ever there was an opportunity to get rid of the administrators its now....
Will it happen......NO

The standard of rugby was poor.Chilli wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 4:49 am https://www.news24.com/sport/rugby/curr ... e-20210123
All jokes and trolling aside. The WP have such a wealth of talent at their disposal. Why is it that they play such a kak brand of rugby? The game yesterday was a true reflection of the standard of rugby throughout the CC played by the WP. To an extent it is effective, until it is neutralised. WP need a new coach, again.
Not that the Sharks were [much] better. Nor the Bulls.
The team that played the best rugby on the weekend was the Lions. I know hat they are not in the final, but then nor are the WP.
If this is the standard of our rugby, no wonder Rassie pulled out of the tour to Aus.
Surely we are better than this?

Sad to say that I agree oom. Plenty of chances.
Problem is, which coach will sign long term with our management?

Doing it after the match rather than before the match shows how sure you were about the game...Chilli wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 6:47 amI'll just leave this here.handyman wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:44 amOom, if you are not a WP fan, you hate WP.

Sharks were running away twice from WP. WP ended second. Cheetahs (your team) bliksemed the Sharks in Bloem, The rugby gods will take this into account. You hate WP.

Feel sorry for his son who need to be educate everything about sportmanship. Wanted to support the Sharks in the final but after his performance I hope the Bulls bliksem them , just to shut his mouth.

I would think that the off field stuff hugely impacts on the players.
With the current ban on alcohol they can't even been paid by the old dop system.
Enjoy having Kolisi as your captain later on in the year
Let's hope the lad learns sportsmanship at school and with his friendsOomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 4:51 pmFeel sorry for his son who need to be educate everything about sportmanship.

I must admit the thought did go through my mind, but I am not sure that I could watch WP dish up that shit level of Rugby three times, even it means 3 wins fir the Sharks.
You were the ones who cancelled tho...
Anyways, congrats on the win. Try to back it up in the final. I fear tho that you won't have the legs for the final, you always save your best for WP, that is the making of your season.

I'm worried for the Lions tour if this Currie Cup is an indication of our level of rugby.

If these are the players and the level, then yes we have to be VERY worried.handyman wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 7:00 amI'm worried for the Lions tour if this Currie Cup is an indication of our level of rugby.
I would quit watching Rugby
You are just being desperate.....
Surely you are gratefull that Ginger didnt get to tarnish his reputation along with the rest of the team...
This is the biggest takeaway from the entire competition for me.
I excused the slow start, as the NH went through something similar when they restarted. But it's never really picked up since then, and it's not even comparable to the New Zealand SR.
There could be a multitude of reasons:
Lack of crowds that the players couldn't get used to.
Playing at a much hotter time of the year.
Much younger demographic of teams after a world cup year.
Some players recovering from Covid-19 infection.
Very poor refereeing throughout.
A meaningless competition.
Could be a combination of all of the above too.

You have no idea how much fun it is laughing at you lot when you have been so arrogant and critical of our team....
Especially handyman......
And you also keep reminding us how the Sharks cancelled 2 games against you out of fear.........Do you still stand by that

Since when was that shitshow the fault of the Sharks...
WP had no responsibility , with the assistance of the ref , of being the cause of that shit show...?
We are not afraid of WP....just a bunch of groot bekke
