Finally the Sharks have a real fetcher in their ranks. However, Nikolai Blignaut should also have been part of the deal, add him to Rudi Mathee, Dawid De Villiers and Nico Breedt all of a sudden the Cheetahs’ lock cupboard does not seem that bare.

#44 puff: I am the first to admit that everyone has an opinion – but in my very very humble opinion, i dont think Botes, Daniel are even close to real fetchers. They spend way too much time on the wing / center to fall in that category.

ndlovu is still young. He can prove me wrong. Sharks need a real on the deck, fighter – not another flank standing in the backline.

Shark goes to Cheetahs… that’s not something you see everyday… maybe he’s dyslexic?

Sharks will fail yet again until they get there backline sorted out. They have the players just need a no nonsense coach like Ferguson to lay the law down. With the draw they have for the Super 14 I don’t believe that they will even make the quarter finals so ain’t going to buy a season ticket for 2010, rather watch soccer

Jean Deyzel, Michael Rhodes, Justin Downey
on the blindside
Ryan Kankowski, Keegan Daniel (again)
eighth man

and Blignaut (lock or flank or eight?)

Seems the Sharks need more cover at 8.

Willem Alberts?

Jacques Botes, Keegan Daniel, Skoliwe Ndlovu
All fetchers.
Why the need for Wessels?

#41 Cheetah 4 Eva: Repeat of CC semi '09 perhaps? If the Stormers maintain the sort of form they've shown this year it's gonna be epic. Add the cool heads of Habanero and the "Self Proclaimed" greatest one and it all boils down to a pending monster.

#37 Transformation: TRANS – point taken. It is however a sad state of affairs that SA is really thin on quality FH’s. This is my pecking order at the moment;
1. Morné
2. Ruan (all the attributes needed, the Sharks however owes him an extended run at FH).
3. Grant
4. Burton (no surprises here, a really gifted footballer)
5. De Waal (if only for consistency – he sticks to a gameplan like flies at a rotting carcass and his defence on the inside channel is not all that bad).
6. Croy (needs exposure at S14 and CC soon, talented player).
7. Brummer (only a blind man can’t see the obvious class he possess)

Olivier / Monty, put it this way… in all their years of being around, I’m yet to be convinced.

I don’t rate Dumond at all. He just seems to come across as average in every facet of play.?

I see Keo has a vote on a possible backrow combination now that Spies is out of the equation. How about;
6. Brussow
7. Burger
8. Potgieter

or is that a bit “too” much out of the box thinking, Kanko on the bench.

I’m afraid both Dumond and Olivier may be found wanting during the S14, or close to that. They’re decent footballers at CC level, does however not inspire a lot of confidence for my part… The Cheetahs would have been better served by securing Brummer’s signature who’s going to see very little 1st class games (bar Vodacom Cup) maybe.

Add to that Bosman at 12, and a possible return of Ebersohn at 13 and things is starting to look up again..

why players like chiliboy, maku, heini adams don’t negotiate loan deals like this is beyond me. good on you monty, if plum is not seeing the value in you, go where you’re needed boet!

Jip, I agree, that is not a cool draw at all!! Hope Cheetahs use this opportunity to actually achieve something in the S14, at least a top 6 finish
