Luke & Cheeky should go play for the Zimbabwean national team @ least there if they step out of line Robert will send his brigades to get them back in line.

True puff

BUT

I was a huge fan especially when he was playing 7 but too much has happened in the last 3 yrs..3 odd good games a yr isnt parrallel to superstar status.

I rate the likes of So’oialo and Kefu far ahead of Joe even though he probably has more talent than them.

Consistency RULES in tests and that equates to legend status.

Big Joe will go down in history in the same mould as Ron Cribb and Troy Flavell(for different reasons)as A WASTE

Mshini

I like the look of your list for the future.
But Joe always played best for the Boks at 7, in my opinion.
It does seem like he’s easily led astray.
But he’s proved that when he puts his mind to something, he can be formidable.
He was the form loosie at the 2003 WC.
And, last year, he was determined to get back into the Bok fold.
He was fantastic amid a wooden spoon Lions outfit.
And he was one of the better players for the Boks.

Big Joe has no backbone in my opinion.He lets his surroundings make career decisions for him.When he moved to the Cape it was reportedly due to an infactuation with some model etc

His move/non move to Northampton was influenced by his mother,with the claim that he wasnt treated well by SA rugby etc

He finally moves to the Lions who give him an opportunity to sort out his career which was in tatters in 08′,as soon as he plays consistently in S14 and gets Bok call up,played excellently for Boks in Dunedin-HE JUMPS SHIP AGAIN..Off to Toulon…Big Joe is now known as a PAY CHECK PLAYER

That doesnt inspire loyalty even from his most die-hard of fans.

Spies/Kankowski/Vermeulen/Alberts/Koster are the FUTURE

LEAVE THE MERCENARY

Joe’s always been a good leader. All the best to him.

Joe’s still relatively young for a flank with 50+ test caps.
Wonder whether he’ll try to return to SA in time for 2011 WC.
He did miss out in 07.
How old will he be then?

Toulon is an example of what happens when you try to buy a team instead of building one.
