Lions livid with Rassie… again
16 Aug 2007
Lions loose forward Willem Alberts is the latest player Rassie Erasmus is trying to lure to Cape Town.
WP’s senior professional coach has been busy trying to contract players for next year’s Super 14. He recently acquired the services of Blue Bulls lock Adriaan Fondse, but the deal with Cheetahs prop Jannie du Plessis fell through. Erasmus then targeted Brian Mujati of the Lions, behind the back of the Lions administration, a course of action which angered the Johannesburg union.
Beeld reports the same has been done with Alberts, a promising player who can play lock, flank or No 8 with consummate ease. When asked for comment coach Loffie Eloff stated that Alberts was happy at the Lions and had told Erasmus he wasn’t interested in joining WP and the Stormers.

Yah those two seem to have serious issues esp earl that really hasnt received alot of media attention.
16 Aug 2007, 14:11 pm
Crisis you WP fans cant seem to let the Rose brothers issue go!
Don’t forget that WP raid the Lions for star players all the time (Joe,Brits,Jantjies) and we took pity on your 2nd rate club players and tried to DEVELOP them.
All the players that have come to the Lions from the Cape (or other regions for that matter) have come at a young age and not when they were established.
Wee Pee should invest in a youth system rather than poaching the Lions talent!
Develop your own talent you brokeback mountain c*nts!

Typical WP *** response.
I am sure Bolla is up for a bit of sucking.
16 Aug 2007, 14:29 pm
Under Rassie WP must stand for “Wonderful Poacher”. The Kenyan KWS have a great policy for poachers…. shoot on sight!
16 Aug 2007, 14:31 pm
Jondood my name would also have the name dood in if i was a lions supporter…..exactly when last did you guys see silverware or a super 14 log position worthy of mention??????
If I was a lion i was allready dead. The Lions , the team where jake picks his charity players. Ashwin and Enrico and Pretorius.
And you guys are typical Lion moaning and groaning
16 Aug 2007, 14:31 pm
jondood – i think you need to come out of the closet. you sure like to talk about sucking etc.
it must fascinate you. let me guess, you one of these okes who comes down to the cape and frequents all the *** bars? is that how come you know so much?
16 Aug 2007, 14:33 pm

16 Aug 2007, 14:36 pm
OOOO die Blou ???
Morne Steyn , Wikus , Hougaard , Gurthro , Jp Nel , Julies , Nonshinga , Louw….
Practice what you preach…. ***

59 – lol, so the Lions’ 12th place on the S14 log isn’t worth mentioning but the Stormers’ 10th is?

#60 yeah, the nite life in Cape Town does not really appeal
Yes, I remember the early ’90s when there was a mass exodus of players from Pretoria, Bloem and Cape Town to Tvl.
it got to the point where they ended up with
3 bok fullbacks and 3 bok hookers in one season.
16 Aug 2007, 14:42 pm
#63: apoligies , i get worked up with some of these c*nts on the site. I respect the lions , but this pointless b*tcing about buying players , like its never happend before gets my blood boiling
16 Aug 2007, 14:43 pm
greatest
That is when Luyt poached all the Bulls team.
At that stage Tvl was the Northens 1st team.

No need to apologize.
Typical cape flats behaviour.
We understand.
16 Aug 2007, 14:50 pm
Was I talking to you Jondood. On a forum which doesn’t involve your team? Im actually white and I live in Bishopscourt….. And don’t say WE understand? Who are you speaking on behalf for?? Sh*thead
Some of you on this forum should go get French lessons , then you go to french clubsides websites and go moan over there too about buying players.
Seems like a brand new thing to some of you. You could swear its 1969

I think you bought a bad sack of papsak wyn.
You sound so bitter.
You sound like you have been sand blasted.
16 Aug 2007, 14:52 pm
Dood – u spelled your name wrong…
Replace one of the “d”‘s with an “s”
And not the first one…
Thereafter, load up your voorlaaier, tell Sanie to tie up her bonnet, get in your oxwagon and go back to holland.

16 Aug 2007, 14:56 pm
The only doos here is you Jondood. You smell of sh*t
16 Aug 2007, 14:57 pm
hook line and sinker
You intellectuals are far toooo clever for me.
16 Aug 2007, 14:57 pm
jondood? sounds like someone who phones the suicide hotline often
16 Aug 2007, 14:59 pm
If I supported WP it would be a foregone conclusion.
I would be dead.
16 Aug 2007, 15:00 pm
Touchy subject this, isn’t it. Seems WP supporters get hot under the collar when they are called poachers. Does it hurt when you cannot get homegrown talent? Or when you are reminded that the former Lions players in your team, with the exception of Jantjes this season actually end up ruining their careers in the Cape. Us Lions supporters are actually begging you guys to take Earl Rose Back.
Yes, the Lions currently don’t have the best development programme in place, but have started strengthening club rugby in the province so that we can start developing local players properly.

You just had to post that.
Now wp_boytjie is going to burst a blood vessel in his head.
That means he will be bleeding more than once month.

Thanks for the laugh you little prick

Cape Towns finest are obviously hanging out here today.
16 Aug 2007, 15:06 pm
It’s not the jibes at “poaching” that get us hot under the collar. It is the neanderthal comments that come from some of your supporters.
Besides – Rassie went to JHB to pay them. Not for new players but to keep Rose up there
16 Aug 2007, 15:08 pm
Davaro
I would also pay Rose to stay up there.
WP can be glad for that loss.
16 Aug 2007, 15:09 pm
I see what old Rassie is trying to do. He wants me to become a WP supporter. Rassie, my mate… You can’t just buy the Lions team and make them WP and think I won’t notice. Come now, they wear those ugly hoop jerseys… Horizontal stripes are sooooo last season.
16 Aug 2007, 15:11 pm
Funny thing. Since I live in Capie Town I’m starting to warm towards my old blue Jukskei cousins. They might all wear two toned kaki shirts, drink ‘brannas’ and listen to Steve but hell at least they are not WP supporters. Goodness me….
16 Aug 2007, 15:14 pm
Grrrr
Give us a ROAR
Don’t frighten wp_boytjie into downing his whole papsak.
eina
Dis maar kak om vir WP te skreeu.

one too many trips up the mountain I say
#67
I still remember the uproar when Uli went to Joberg..I was gutted when I heard the news.
know Joost was offered mega deal by Luyt to defect in 94 but he declined as he wanted to rebuld NTvl.
16 Aug 2007, 15:15 pm
Retract the above –
WP_ unfortunately you have just dropped to their level.
Cheers
16 Aug 2007, 15:16 pm
AAHH, I love it when a plan comes together. Even with former Lions players I struggle to support WP. Last week I was a draadsitter Griquas vs WP. I didn’t want Griquas to win due to log position and their thugby against the Lions the previous week. I also didn’t want WP to win, simply because they are WP. I will even support Bulls and Sharks against WP. Its just soemthing about them that rubs me the wrong way
16 Aug 2007, 15:17 pm
I miss the Keo site of old…
16 Aug 2007, 15:21 pm
lion4ever
Know what you mean but it wasn’t all ways like that. I never could support the Bulls but since moving down to ‘Kaapstad’ that changed, ‘sommer vinnig…’ I will gladly support the men in blue before I support WP. Even the Valke and Bulldogs before these guys.
And now you WP okes can commence to rant and rave, I’m off for a beer.
16 Aug 2007, 15:23 pm
92 – I know the feeling. I am a WP supporter thru and thru. (Ja, I know…) but I have the same feeling about the Sharks.
Every person has the right to support who they want to and not like who they want to as well.
When it gets personal, it gets stuupid.
Adult talk about Rugby is great. Childish defamatory comments are not.
Winning is always, historically, in cycles.
For about 3-4 years a team is kak. Then for the next few they “build” and then they are top for a few years.
As a previous post said, “the wheels go round” and that is true. WP are kak now but WILL be back.
Just like Arnie…

True I had to live through 7 years of hell when the Bulls were absolutely kak.

Schalk Brits is from WP
There are plenty of players who move all over the place….some are “clean” takes, others not so much. It is as it is….and I don’t see why the media should be involved.
I believe even WP legends like Carel du Plessis and Bob Skinstad played for both WP and Lions/Tranvaal.
Professional sport….get over it…players move.
16 Aug 2007, 15:43 pm
I think the point that the Lions supporters are making is that we always hear how much talent is in Western Province rugby and how the club scene is strong.There is a rugby player factory down the N1 in Stellenbosch which already draws players from all over the country.
So there really shouldn’t be a need to poach developing players from other provinces.
16 Aug 2007, 15:44 pm
Just like Hougaard. (but between us, you can keep him)
