Lions quash Chiliboy rumours
The Lions have denied they are trying to get Chiliboy Ralepelle to move to Johannesburg next year.
Reports stated that Ralepelle’s lawyers were trying to find loopholes in his contract so he could play in the Super 14 for the Lions in 2010. Lions CEO Manie Reyneke said this was not likely.
‘I haven’t spoken to Chiliboy myself, but his lawyer phoned and asked if we would be interested in signing him,’ Reyneke told keo.co.za. ‘We were, and once the agent came to me with an offer, I then phoned [Blue Bulls Company] CEO Barend van Graan to see if he was out of contract.
‘Chiliboy isn’t, so we didn’t pursue the matter further.’
The deal seems set to fall through as earlier this year Ralepelle re-signed with the Bulls until 2011, but for both the Lions and Ralepelle it would have been ideal. The Lions have Hans van Dyk and Derek Harwood as the pair vying for the No 2 jersey, while the Bulls have three Bok hookers.
After returning from Harlequins earlier this year, Gary Botha’s contract began on Monday, meaning Ralepelle would not be the automatic first-choice. Derick Kuun will revert to flank next year, but Botha’s arrival means Ralepelle will have to fight with the former Bok hooker and Bandise Maku for the starting spot in the Super 14.
Meanwhile, Griquas lock Jacques Lombaard has been named in both the Lions and Cheetahs’ training squads for the Super 14. Reyneke said who he will play for hasn’t been finalised, but second row is another area where the Lions are in need of quality players.
‘He’s not contracted to us, but we are in talks with Sarpa [The South African Rugby Players' Association]. The kid is not happy in Kimberley, his family is up here and he wants to play for us, so he has been training with us since Monday.’

Run Chilli Run…lol
November 4th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
A win win situation for everyone.
Chilliboy gets to start at the Lions, Gary Botha gets to start at the Bulls, and Bandise Maku get’s a regular call up into the match 22.
In my view, Maku is better than Chilliboy. And less injury prone too.
I think the Bulls have shown admirable patience with Chilli, considering all his injuries. Whenever he’s been fit, he’s bin in the mix.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
So that would make 2 teams, and potentially a 3rd, where Chili will be the No2 No2 ? How long can this charade continue ?
November 4th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
hahaha what a joke ……
November 4th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Chilliboy just needs game time.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
#3 WakaNathan:
Only 1 charade here, and that’s him captaining the Boks midweek team.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
he should get in touch with hanyani shimange, see if he has any disused gameboy games for chiliboy to play.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
ja chilli boy as bok captain that is a joke
November 4th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
#2 Tacitus: Agree on Maku being better.
The Lions should also recruit Heini Adams, Kabamba Floors, Maku and any other Bok players not getting game time
November 4th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I think Kabamba has the potential to be the Bok back-up option for Heinrich!
November 4th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Chille played in every S14 game for the Bulls and started in a number of them. When he came off the bench it was for at least 20 min – even in the semi and final.
During the CC he was either injured or with the Boks. He cannot complain about how he was treated. If the Lions want him, they can pay a transfer fee.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
#11 Beertjie: He didn’t complsin about treatment but think he is saying that the signing of Botha means the coach is looking anywhere but at him to start for the Bulls. He just looking out for himself as the Bulls are by getting GB
November 4th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
#6 Tacitus:
Well, that would be the one Im referring to.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
#12 Kritik: I am just getting pd-off with players that wants to become free agents when ever it suits them (read Jaque Fourie as well). Chille has a contract until 2011. If he wants to leave, fine but then the Lions need to pay a transfer fee. In his specific case, he was injured quite often and his developement (in my opinion)was well managed. Now instead of forcing his way into the side he just wants to move. I say again, he can move if he wants to, but then get the Lions to buy out his contract as well.
Why sign a contract in the first place?
November 4th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
#9 Bok fan:
Adams ahead of Jano?
Floors ahead of Minnie, Mokeuana, Baywatch, Clever?
Maku, yes.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
#14 Beertjie: well put.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
To be honest I rate Adams very highly and Jano is out for a about 3 months and who knows with long injuries like that…
As for Floors I think he has had a raw deal. I will never forget the Currie Cup final a few years ago when he made guys like Spies look weak. He outplayed all the Bulls loosies that day and played a lot like Brussouw is playing now and I feel that if given the traditional fetcher role (Not 8th man) and some belief from a coach, he could excel again.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
#9 Bok fan: Keen on Solly Tyibilka as well?
November 4th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
It will be better for the Bulls that Chilliboy leaves and Maku stay.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
#17 Bok fan: Spies was about 20 then but I take your point.
He’s not much of fetcher though, more of a linking, creative loosies more suited to an 8 I think…
He should go back and play 7’s if he doesnt get an oppurtnunity there.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
If you’re a Lions player looking for a loophole I can see the logic – Fourie got out of his and so did AJ Venter many years ago.
If you’re a Bulls player, the Bakkies Botha case may serve as proper notice that the union know how to draw up contracts. Looking for loopholes could be a waste of time and money.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Don’t want to be funny, but the Lions is really the only team he could possibly start for.
I doubt he’d start for Province at the moment and he sure as hell won’t start at the Cheetahs or the Sharks.
Come to think of it, he ain’t starting at the Bulls either.
That’s the problem when you start creating unrealistic expectations with this fast tracking cr*p.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
it could be a career threatening or career moving…be wise chilli
November 4th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
#2 Tacitus:
I agree. It seems as if Chilli is subscribing to this culture of entitlement thing that is so rife in our country. Just because you are there isn’t a guarantee to be picked. you have to be fit, injury free and the best in the selectors opinion. If any other team is prepared to offer him better terms at equal money he should grab it. His Springbok bench stint and injuries have deprived him gametime at the Bulls which has impacted on his readiness to play at whatever level.
\He would’ve been better served to withdraw from the Boks and play for a club side to build up his strength an d skill levels before making a return. In stead, he opted for the easy money and now he wants to blame the Bulls.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
#20 WP_: Nope Solly can go jump. I think Floors is a lot like Brussouw who is also very good at linking. Floors hasnt played the traditional fetcher role in a while and that is where he is most lethal. The same goes for Luke Watson.
The best SA fetchers in my opinion are:
1. Brussouw
2. Watson
3. Floors
4. Stegman
Its crucial you have one of these guys with the number 6 jersey on in order to secure your ball and slow down/steal the oppositions.
The Sharks will continue struggling until they have one. Botes is not good enough
Anyone know the latest on the Brussouw/ Sharks rumour?
November 4th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
#21 ratel: Interesting point. The Lions really need to re-look their contracts template
November 4th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
I was wondering who Victor was referring to when he said in his post match speech after the WP game how Morne Steyn was a good example of patience being rewarded. He said Steyn’s opportunity eventually came, and it was a lesson to others who might be impatient for a starting spot.
Guess he must have been speaking to Chillie, amongst others.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
6. Tacitus
Only 1 charade here, and that’s him captaining the Boks midweek team
Used as a political pawn by the Bok management…
November 4th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I heard Boland were looking for a second hooker in the VC?
November 4th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
the real issue here is that chilli has been badly managed, he was a star at age group level but that doesn’t help you once you get to senior rugby…rushing a youngster at hooker on the international scene gives the guy no time to learn his craft nd every mistake he makes is under the glare of an unforgiving media spotlight. Chilli has had a horrific run of injuries …. i hope he makes a decent fist of it at the lions….
November 4th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
That wouldn’t be a bad move. Can’t be a bench warmer forever.
He also won’t be a “youngster” forever, at some point something had to give.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
reportedly Maku is upset and now wants to moveback to the Bulls cause he won’t get gametime with the Bok captain moving to the Lions..
But….
reportedly (wat n woord) Bulls seems to be so glad to get rid of him – Maku will have to stay at the Lions and play for Pirates 2′nds….
life is tough……
ask me – i played for pofadders 3′rds — and i reportedly had talent.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
#32 Staal:
Has Maku moved to the Lions?
November 4th, 2009 at 2:33 pm

Gelukkig het ons vir Kuun as ‘n backup.
Persoonlik verkies ek vir Danie Coetzee bo almal van hulle. Was ‘n sterk bliksem daai. Was hy nie omtrent Gary se ouderdom nie?
Sal hom enige tyd terugvat. Dan het ons sommer weer ‘n sterk skrum ook.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
After all the Lion’s supporters and management and KEO’s indignation with Jaques Fourie escaping his contract because of a loophole…
they’re now having Chili’s agents tring to find a loophole in his contract so that he can join the Lion’s…?
Is it only me who finds this hypocracy disgusting…???
All the high-and-mighty fans and Manie Reynekes and Kevin De Klerks who were gonna fight to retain Fourie to the “bitter end” who all crucified JF and WP… where are you now…? Surely you should be crucifying your team and management for doing the same…
Where’s Keo and his cronies talking about integrity…??
Seems encouraging a player to break a contract is only lacking in integrity when it’s WP doing the buying…? When it’s any other team it’s called making a good deal!
Absolute hyprocites…the lot of them!!
November 4th, 2009 at 2:48 pm

November 4th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
#43 grant10:
and getting our national players out of their European contracts is called “pulling out all the stops”…
seems our indignation finds it’s way into our pockets pretty quickly when OUR team benefits…!!
November 4th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
all this contractual nonsense can be avoided if saru had a single contract system and not a sa contract and provisional contract, as with the current system the players best interest cant be achieved. For eg like with the Chilli case, hes not getin game time at the bulls, saru could have freely moved him to the lions to get game, no hassles no fuss, Chilli gets game time, good for the bokke
November 4th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
@ 43 grant, thats wishful thinking, those players are thriving abroad, they wont come back with the ‘possibility’ of making the wc team
November 4th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
I suggest that the Lions buy him out of his contract.
Then the Bulls can boost their bank balance even further.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
#43 grant10: I don’t think the Boks management is going to do anything to get South African players back from Europe. No need to. (They have the option to pick them anyway unlike NZ where the rules forbid it.) There are enough prospects in SA already and only 1 or 2 of the Saffas in the NH will make the Boks team in any case.
If all the Saffas in Europe has to return then many of them will become bench warmers for the S14 teams in SA. But at least the Kings could have better options to chose from.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
#24 catleya: no 1 is talking abt entitlement but when u’re young and up n coming and looking to improve urself with game time and the coach brings in some1 like botha..what signal is that to faith in u as a player
to me it shows ambition for him looking to move and not being contempt to warm the bench
imagine if at beginning of the year, after Hougaard left and Morne was to get the nod of approval as Pivot, the Bulls signed??? Butch James? so much for fighting it out, wot abt showing faith in ur development structures?
its simple the bulls dont have faith in him and thats y he should look for a move, rightly or wrongly
November 4th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
#27 Tacitus: yeah but there’s a difference in being patient behind derick hougaard, learning, then getting and taking your opportunities as well,like Steyn and Bulls bringin in Botha when faith was needed to be shown in the development structures bulls had to produce Maku and Chilli
as much as i rate francois hougaard , wot disappointed me so much was the sudden talk in the middle of the currie cup abt grooming him to take over from Fourie Du preez, WTF, i thought thats wot Adams was there for, evidently nt
November 4th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
#49 Papoose:
If Morne was off sick for 18 months out of every 24, and turned in mediocre performances in the 6 months he was fit, I reckon the Bulls might well have tried to sign Butch James or someone when Hougaard left.
To Morne’s credit, he stuck it out until it was his time to shine.
And we all know forwards take much longer to reach their peak than backs. A guy can be an international flyahlf at 24, but international tight forwards only reach their peak close to 30.
Chilli is impatient.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
#45 Mustard:
That’s actually quite a good idea, but one would need to ensure that the people at SA Rugby make the decisions that are in the best interests of the players and rugby at large.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
#51 Tacitus: BS man, the falacy in ur argument lies in the fact that Brussouw is 23, is he not
i hear u abt the injuries but my pt precisely is that they dont have faith in the player cos of indifferent form and injuries
am i incorrect in that assumption?
if thats the case how is looking for a move impatient?
i honestly believe,yes the politicians have screwed him ova, cos when he shoulda been playing currie cup this year and developing instead of bench warming, he could’ve been honing his skills
its sad but this is one of the few players who captained the U/19 and U/21 SA teams in the SAME YR
its just so sad
November 4th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Chiliboy is probably the most overrated player in South Africa at the moment!
November 4th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
#53 Papoose:
You do know that Brussouw is not a tight forward right?
November 4th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
#51 Tacitus: I think Chilli is eager to get some regular game time in the starting XV which he wasn’t getting at the bulls and when they signed Gary Botha; the writing was on the wall.
There are decent players coming through the system in SA at the moment and if Chilli doesn’t act soon he’ll “miss the boat.” Admit it Tac you and many other Bulletjies are actually relieved he wants to leave.
#53 Papoose: Don’t let Katman see your “SMS style” lingo….he reckons it’s the literary equivalent of wearing the waist band of your trousers underneath your arse….ala 50 cent. LOL
November 4th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
November 4th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Won’t be long before we see Chilliboy presenting with Owen on Supersport
November 4th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
#56 Jozi:
Personally, I think we should sell him to the Lions, yes.
And then buy Adriaan Strauss back, as our no.2 hooker.
November 4th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
#56 Jozi:
I must admit, I have an instant feeling of superiority when dealing with a sms-style contributor in such a forum.

November 4th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
#61 SpringbokSarah: I’m very happy for Luke and wish him all the best in England. He displayed a tremendous amount of character and strong leadership this season. He deserves his accolades.
November 4th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
If Chili is not first choice hooker for Bulls and wants to go to Lions. Lions should fight for him. Contract or no contract with Bulls. Buy him out. Contracts don’t seem to be much in SA these days.
Other unions seemed to fight and get their man. Lions should do the same.
November 4th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
If the bulls don’t intend using chilli boy then they might as well sell him.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
#51 Tacitus: Chiliboy is impatient but so are the selctors in selecting him purely based on the colour of his skin…
He should have been kept back and eased into the top flight instead of being pushed into it and subsequently getting injured every time he runs out onto the field.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
#63 Jozi: he plays a much better game when he shuts his gob and just gets on with rugby.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
#53 Papoose: WTF dawg, u think u fity cent or wot? Pull up ur jeans & get a job.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
The real problem here lies with the Bulls. They buy or contract as many black players as they can, because they must. But they don’t trust them to do the job. It’s the Pretoria way.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
#69 katman: eish … that’s a low blow…
November 4th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
I’ll take Chilli or Maku at the Lions. Both are good hookers. Hope we get Lombaard from Griquas. And Waylon would be welcome too.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
#70 Staal: Well, it’s true. And they won’t give up their AA window dressing for any price.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
#68 katman: Listen to Katman. You sound like an idiot.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
#69 katman: I don’t see much proof for that. The Bulls have never done anything like buying a player like Shimangi and sticking him on the bench. A guy like Adams has won many games for the Bulls-he just happens to be behind the best 9 in the world. Burton Francis would have played the whole Currie cup season at 10 if he wasn’t injured and would have played at ten in the Super 14 if Morne Steyn was to pick up an injury.
Habana, Kirchner and Akona have all been trusted, as was Dlulane (spelling?) before breaking his neck. Guthro is trusted and Chiliboy would have played a lot more if he didn’t keep breaking down. Julies also regularly started for the Bulls.
Please give me some examples.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
#71 katman: Waylon can stay at the Sharks. Take Adi instead.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Those of you saying that Chilli is impatient, i wouldnt agree fully. Hes been no.2 at the bulls for awile now behind kuhn, now they sign back botha, i mean what does that say of what they think of Chilli, they clearly dont have faith in him as their no1, well they implying it by signing botha. I think Chilli is doing the right thing looking elsewhere for game time, otherwise his springbok selection is never going to be justified if hes not starting, and forget critics, we wouldnt want a player starting to doubt hes own abilities, then he can kiss his bok career goodbye
November 4th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
#76 Mustard: The big problem with Chilli is that he is injured so often. The Bulls haven’t been able to play him regularly because he is either injured or he is away with the Boks. It would be interesting to see for how many games he has been available for the last 2 or 3 or 4 years. It won’t be many, and I imagine that he has been part of most games he has been available for.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Denial is proof!
November 4th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
#76 Mustard: Chili should really go to the Lions. Think he will be their first choice hooker and probably who knows their Captain too. If Botha is back he will be Bulls First choice hooker and they have Kuun too but then think Kuun not going to player hooker next year.
Lions should fight to get Chili just like other unions fought for their players. They should do the same. What comes around goes around so to speak.
Chili was a very good captain in the U19’s and 21’s. He needs to play on a more regular basis.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
#59 Tacitus: Let me see if I understand you correctly – you’d pick Gary Botha ahead of Adriaan Strauss?
Now I know you’ve been klapping the moer-jou-vrou-en-coke during working hours.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Weet nie wat die probleem is nie. Chilli is no 1 by die Bulls en Gary no 2…..of dink almal Chilli is slegter as Gary.
Wat is verkeerd om nog n haker te kry. Jy moet backup he in die S14. Hoekom het die Wp jaarliks sy gat gesien in die S14? Backup!
Nou koop Rassie en nou gaan hul heelwat beter doen met quality backup….imo.
Hierdee hele threat het begin met reportedly…. onthou dit…..
Soos ek vir Chilli ken gaan hy nie weg hardloop v n uitdaging nie.
Onthou Strauss het gewaai omdat Chilli en Gary bo hom gekies was…terwyl hy witwarm was……die ding kan v 2 kante gesien word.
Nee wat – laat hulle maar uitspeel teen mekaar….. kompitiesie is n goeie ding.
Die Bulle rate vir Chilli…. los hom uit.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
#79 Puma: He would if he wasn’t always injured!
November 4th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
wolfie, yes he has been injured alot, but when he was fit the bulls never started him as far as i can recall, he always came on with 10 or 15min left, and you cant realy prove yourself with the amount of game time
November 4th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
#83 Mustard: I would have to have a look over all his games to see how much he played. From memory, he was injured so often, came back, playing off the bench, and then got injured again or went touring with the Boks. This year in the Super 14 for example he was coming on after 50 minutes towards the end, playing himself into form, and then went touring with Boks playing 8 minutes over all the test matches or something ridiculous, when he would have been getting game time in the Currie Cup.
The Bulls haven’t been treating him badly, the Boks have been by selecting him before he was physically ready, selecting him as captain against the Barbarians (which was clearly a political move) and then never playing him whenever he has been in the Bok group.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Wolfie i think players should be contracted under saru, a single contract, no two or three contracts with their provinces aswel. That way saru could easily allow players to move between unions so they could get adequate game time and improve their bok cause, its the alternative to the mess we have right now
November 4th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
#82 WOLFMAN21: Maybe 2010 is Chili’s injury free year. I think if he could get plenty game time we will see the player we all expected he would be when watching him in the U19’s.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
#43 grant10: Yes, Marco Wentzel would be a very good lineout addition, and I rate Michael Claassens too
November 4th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
#85 Mustard: SARU can’t afford that.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
#51 Tacitus: Except WP Nel, Wian du Preez, and Coenie Oosthuizen lol… They seem to be hitting their straps early…
I know you will be loath to admit as much, so ask John, Beast, Gurthro, and Werner Kruger lol
November 4th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
#85 Mustard: now u’re talkin as this makes sense
even Naas has been punting this idea
especially with JLP moving to Bulls
does any1 know what it would take to get such an idea through or is it just a pipe dream?
November 4th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
#86 Puma: I agree completely, and if injury free, he has the potential to be a very good player but I think him constantly being selected for Bok squads without form or game time under his belt is not good for him, SA rugby or the Bulls.
It is the same with Maku. No-one knows how good Maku is, yet he gets selected for the Boks and now every-one thinks he should be at another union because he is being wasted at the Bulls. The reality is neither Maku nor Chiliboy would start at any other Union in South Africa apart from possibly the Lions. They aren’t better than Strauss, Liebenberg or Bismarck, leaving only the Lions, with Hans van Dyk having had a pretty good season.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
#89 Cheetah 4 Eva: thx
i missed the tight five labeling in naming Brussouw but i knew his argument was false non the less
November 4th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
#85 Mustard: My one worry of this might be that Unions might be reluctant to develop their own players when Saru can control where they play. Players like Kuun, Maku and Chiliboy have been developed by the Bulls. Lots of money, time and effort goes into developing them, and then having them contracted to Saru might make some clubs reluctant to develop players.
One idea I do like is a more open loan system which could see a player like Maku for example play at the Lions if Chiliboy and Kuun are fit, and then be allowed to return to the Bulls if they need him.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Please go to the Lions Chilli – and let us keep Bandise. I’ve got nothing against Chilli, a talented level-headed bloke who’s finding things difficult and realise his potential due to constant injuries.
At scrumtime, I’d rather have Bandise or Chilli fronting up then Kuun, sheesh but that boy is found wanting when we pack down.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
@ 88, they can, but they would need a different funding structures to the unions that currently exist

#91 WOLFMAN21: Yip agree. Chili must go to the Lions there he will get plenty game time. I feel he will be their first choice hooker and that means starting every game. Lions should fight for him. If he is only going to sit on the bench for Bulls that wont be good for his rugby career. Eventually he will fall off the pace like he has done a bit now already.
Lions must have more talks with Bulls to buy him out the contract he signed. They have Botha and Kuun they don’t need another hooker.
Okay out of here now. Cheers Wolfman and all. Catch up later.

#96 Puma: Later Puma.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
@93 wolfie, i hear your point, but if unions were reluctant to develop players on that basis then theres certainly no goal congruence at all, developing a player to play for the springboks should be the ultimate goal, but i hear your point…..maybe in a perfect world

#87 Cheetah 4 Eva:
Very good idea. Then all the unions can tender vs one another for the players and pay SA Rugby for them. Nothing wrong with that if you place a cap on the total a union can spend on player acquisitions. Senior players won’t like that though, unless SA Rugby pays the total bid salary over to the player, and then you’re back to square one, apart from SARugby maybe having a veto right by meeting the higest price and placing the player where SA Rugby sees fit.
But then that opens up a different can of worms alltogether, and we’d better not go there.

#99 catleya:
SARU currently pay the unions for the use of their players in the S14.
November 4th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
He should go, I think it will do his career the world of good. He needs an opportunity to get into the rhythm of starting every game. I feel the reason he is injury prone is due to lack of game time. Good Luck Mr. Ralepelle!
November 4th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
#94 Pot Blou Gevaar: He is a flanker – in fairness to Kuun, the Bulls asked him to change and he did. You can’t fault him for that. He obviously did a good enough job to be the number one hooker at the union.
It doesn’t say too much about Chili or Maku that they are behind a retreaded flanker in the pecking order.
November 4th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Well aware that Kuun used to pack down at the side. In my opinion Bandise should have been given an extended run at some stage. One however get the feeling that there is a bit of a tradeoff between scrums and lineouts both at the Bulls and the Boks. Kuun’s saving grace is his abality in the loose, Maku however gives you the edge in the tighter contests. Another example could Heinke vs. Beast.
November 4th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
#102 fish out of water:
Og shame, such a great two talented hookers are maltreated by bias and prejudice.
Shame on the Bulls for winning the Super14 and the CC without participating Chiliboy and Maku
hehe
November 4th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Why do these poor fools go bind themselves hand and foot to these pretentious fake transformation models like the Blue Bulls. Don’t they know the cookie always gonna crumble on tant sannies side of the koffie tafel. Chili, Maku, Adams, Francis, Mametsa etc should have f’d off long ago they might have realized something from their careers instead of playing second fiddle to a bunch of broedertjies pretending to be verlig.
November 4th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
#103 Pot Blou Gevaar:
Lets talk facts
Chiliboy was injured against the Cheetahs 5 weeks ago, he was tackled by Fabian Jurie, the smallest player on the fiels (73kg) and hasn’t played since, so much for an ‘elite’ pro player in a brutal contact sport of rugby!
Watch the opening scrum of the 3rd Test against the BIL: the Lions 3rd choice front row’s popped ‘up pupu first’ Chiliboy (plus his Captain Smit as a bonus).
I am sure Chili’s bank manager wasn’t embaressed though
November 4th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Minki is single again! Anybody got her number?
November 4th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Hiyas Skop, and agree with you. Then again i dont give a flying f!?@ for what happens in gauteng rugby. The bulls are window dressers and the lions are utterly useless.
November 4th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
#105 skopskiet:
They are mostly poor, lousy rugby players too, on a comparison basis:
Adams compared to FdP
Burton compared to M Styen, D. Hougaard
Mametsa compared to Habana or to F Hougaard
Chili compared to Maku
Maku compared to Kuun
Easy
November 4th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Minki sweetheart just gotta give her one call and we be off to cloud 9
She shouldn’t fall back on Graeme’s lap if she knows whats good for her
November 4th, 2009 at 8:51 pm

November 4th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Grant can shove his speedo-gyrating moves. This blonde is mine.
November 4th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
yeah these oke’s should never have hung around propping up these punki boy bulletjies fancy pants
Adams should never have carried the can for Fdp to act like he’s gods gift to scrum halves.
Maku and Chili shouldn’t have been propping up Kuun while he learns the trade to get shunted and kicked in the teeth soon as overrated Gary Botha comes crying back cap in hand.
Mametsa shouldn’t have held the fort while Habana was off dancing his merry jigs across the continents while raising his name in lights.
Burton Francis should have f’d off long before so that he could develop his game instead of just another MS Nasty Booter clone.
None these guys done themselves any favors whatsoever hanging around those fake hallowed halls of verkrampt Bulletjie Rugby propping up the fake transformation model. They been sold a fat dummy all along and should have bust out for greener pastures long ago. Poor sucker dumb deluded transformation guinea pig fools.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I find it interresting that the Lions has a player (J. Lombaard) who IS STILL CONTRACTED with another province practicing with them already. Now, NO LION can ever complain about other unions poaching their plyers ever again!
November 4th, 2009 at 9:06 pm

these people calling rugby players the best in the world, like since when. In 2008 Fdp was halfway to nowhere, was between him and best fh in the world Butchie boy James that practically cost us our tri nations tournament single handed. Little Heinie Adams would have been a far better call in 2008 under new Elv’s, after all it was Heinie that got the Bulls off their asses when they needed it to get through the Reds and Crusaders to their first S14 title in 2007. If it were left to Fdp they’d never have made it to the final.

now come 2010 and that contract expires , then yes maybe he will still be interested
but the youngster coming to us wessel is very good, obviously not in brussow’s class yet , but i saw him in under 21 game and he stole many balls off us\
so a bright prospect

Just read that Brussow not going to the Sharks. It is on News24. Then they also said he was coming at first so really don’t know but I don’t think he is coming said it all along. He has a contract with Cheetahs until 2010. Think G10 said this friend said that Sharks were going to buy him out that contract for 2million. Not going to happen it seems.

You get to be told

Middle-aged teenagers
Their combs in their socks
Their heads in a box
When I was a little boy
I never believed
I would be
A safari suit

Maybe G10’s friend was right and Sharks just cant get him out that contract. Who knows. But he is not coming.
After 2010 maybe we have someone there so may not need him then.
Wessel’s is good but he is on loan. Then who knows maybe he stays on at the Sharks. Will have to see as Monty is off to the Cheetahs.

November 4th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
#219 sharks_lover: We do. Maybe move Hernandez to centre and move Ruan back to FH, seeing that he has to be back up to M. Steyn at FH for the Boks. At least he will get game time playing there. Play Kockott back at scrumie then.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
#219 sharks_lover: Both those Lions players would be great to get. Rate Alberts and Ludick. Stefan getting on now and if we do get Ludick he can play FB.
Jeepers say this all the time but we will miss Fransie next year.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Okay out of here now. Cheers Sharky.
Night all.

206 Gunther,
he looked way out his league. Poor bliksem got klapped in his own diner too, while Minki watched. Lots of safari suit-denialists here I see.

I certainly have no ax to grind with open minded people with open minded views about how this game should progress beyond the straight jacket it has been confined under since pa fell off the bus. Its on its way to that redemption thanks to perhaps some driven commitment by some in the driving seat to get free of the shackles of window dressed evolution from its dark age heritage.
Its a fine balancing act required between blooding diverse potential, breaking stuck in the mud molds of conservative traditions, and maintaining quality and heritages of winning cultures. One either gets motivated to persue excellence as well as encompassing far wider frames of passion and patriotism, or you remain fixed and fettered in the staid old traditions and straight jackets of the past.
I believe this coach is going to go about the business of setting new paradigms and in perhaps not too far down the line some you ancient die hards might even thank him for doing so.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
#194 Hondo: fourie du preez was k@k from the beginning of the year last year, him & habana were the 1st players to moan about the elvs, remember du preez saying “i don’t like playing the elvs and i don’t even like watching them”. He was the captain when the bulls were pomped by 55 points by the Saders @ Moftus.
At one of the after match interviews fdp said after a loss “i’m running out of excuses”. Is the injury you’re referring to the hand injury? Come up with another story boet fdp as much as i admire him couldn’t adapt to the new rules. it was glaringly evident when he kicked out balls on the full @ newlands against the all blacks.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Gunther, most of the okes here. Just go check all their old sunday school photos. Posing nogal next to the family dog Farkin disgusting.

#216 Puma: Do you ever wear a Mr. Price Sharks shirt?
#218 Robzim: That Jinxie is so cool…Hey a mate of mine met Liam Gallagher from Oasis on Monday, she said he was ’short’!!
Sharke, Soda, Skop, Gunther, Slappes – Thanks for some good old fashioned ‘Night Owling’ tonight….makes me quite nostalgic…
Good Night Boys

Charlize apologises for auctioning Tutu cuddle, Malema dry-hump
Just days after she apologised for auctioning off a meeting with Nelson Mandela without asking his permission, actress Charlize Theron has admitted that she also tried to sell a cuddle with Desmond Tutu and a dry-hump with Julius Malema. Sources confirmed that the highest bid for Malema had been $1.30, from Malema himself.
Breaking news from Hayibo.

#231 SodaJoe: hey now now young man lol you got a good young 8thman from us
warren whitely
November 4th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
as for Gary Botha they can have him at Bulls with cherries on top. Hasn’t been a much more overrated hooker anywhere lately in my estimation than that poor replica of a James Dalton wannabee. If I were Chili or Maku I’d also want to get the hell away from a hypocritical franchise that talks in circles and forked tongues.
Get outa there Chili boy and Maku you doing yourselves no favor hanging about propping up these ou doos nobody’s, even if it costs you some tom get out and play for a franchise that truly values your input or your patent potential instead of singing you songs of pious brotherly love yet delivering sweet fanny f’all.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Robzim, the safari suit king. Dont think the surfers will ever speak to him again.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
#235 sorry SL I been bad mannered here you offered me a greeting some way back. I’m confined to a lousy cell phone to keep track of proceedings, so please accept apologies for slow reaction time in greeting you back.

November 4th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
I thought Coca-Cola Park kind of sucked for th new name of Ellis Park. But this one takes the biscuit – the new name for the home of the Magpies – Newcastle United – a club steeped in history and a fantastic support base.
sportsdirect.com@St James’ Park.
No ****. I am not joking. This is not from Hayibo.
Which kind of meanders to another thought – are the Lions teh Newcastle United of rugby?
November 4th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
#243 sharks_lover: Well I hope he is good. We need a few. Across the park.

I am so happy the Bulls won everything for us this year.

Grow up, will you. Stop coming here and go back to Orania.

November 5th, 2009 at 2:38 am
#260 Grant10: I wish I was there with you.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:39 am
#262 Grant10: Well deserved currie cup victory indeed. We make this place. They should only allow WP supporters here.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:40 am
#259 Robzim:
Luke deserves anything that comes his way. He will take Bath to the top of the super 14 table. I can’t remember, the Bath team is from Wellington or Auckland?
November 5th, 2009 at 2:42 am
#265 Grant10: Is he going to Bath? Didn’t know that. Thought he was more of a shower person. Just joking with you gorgeous. Bath is a Japanese club, he won’t be playing in the S14.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:42 am
I hope Western Province buy Juanre Kruger soon. He should play with Andries.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:44 am
#267 Grant10: That would be awesome. I hope Herkie Kruger also comes to Western Province. Rassie will make us proud.

Not sure what that has to do with the fact that a front rower was totaled for 6 weeks by a 73 kg whiff tackle?
The liberation rhetoric certainly has its place but not in a rugby blog, we are little bit technical here as you noticed lol
November 5th, 2009 at 3:25 am
#227 Transformation:
You are right of course, but that was in 2008, both carried injuries and were grossly ineffective, Ricky got his chances and I am still his admirer.
But there were FdP and Habana of 2007 & 2009, world class with no match at their positions!

#252 Robzim: #267 Grant10: So the sick obsession by fat man from the east continues……shame….little man cant cut it anymore with the big boys….bored because he chose to run off like a little beaten dog…..chased away by a couple of ladies who said no to his bullying……shame lille p man…..it must be difficult for you….a couple of ‘liberals’ and activists chased the KKK mannetjie all the way to Orania….
Now has to slink back under cover of stolen nicks to get some attention….all the while simply reinforcing the fact that a little bitter racist cannot cut it without having to slander and put on masks….
Pathetic you little racist ******….the days of tolerating little wallys like you are over….run to your friends where you a big man….here you a twat and a joke….senior blogger.

November 5th, 2009 at 7:34 am
#282 Transformation: Hi Transie.
In life i am sure of very few things….but that it is the little sick fat man from the East is a definite!!!
Scourge of the earth , coward….a stain on the planet…disgusting little supremist that ran like the dog he is…hides like a common criminal because he cant front up…..
Felt sad and pity for him…now just think he is a closet *** with strange fantasies….shame on him.
November 5th, 2009 at 8:02 am
Hey Grant…
You’re a popular guy… Think it tells us something aout your fans…!
Ironic thing is that on the verkrampte RT site GBS pounces like a cat on a catnip-stuffed toy on people who change their nicks without his permission…! It’s a police state over there… That’s why the poor guys come and blog here… for some intellectual freedom…
Much like the straight laces who used to pop over the border to Swaziland in the old days to watch real rock stars and porn… They would act real cool and grown up of course…
Much like they do here…
But they’d never admit to it… of course…
November 5th, 2009 at 8:08 am
how can you include a player if you haven’t signed him yet?
