Our Forwards are better at scoring trie, but that is because our head coach is a specialist forward coach so he understands forwards, we need an attacking minded backline coach! One that does can give our backs some bite! Frankly I don't fancy waiting another 12 years for a trophy and we have the players to beat any team, I think we are just short on the Coach side. #27 ICE: Exactly!

We need someone like Slapchips (look what he has done for the heretofore backless Bulls)or like Campese. I don't care what people say about him but when he was training our backline the Sharks' backline was potent. Virtually the same players and they have forgotten what to do with the ball once they see the try line That is if they haven't kicked possession away! :evil: I am starting to sound like try time am I not :( #25 ICE: Sick and tired of watching these backs run around like headless chickens!

I think that the sharks missed out here and should have looked at developing him rather than the cronje boy - I dont want to say ross or guy because i have no idea how to tell them apart! He should have been played ahead of monty as well, Monty is good but he'll only ever be a solid CC player, wheras olivier i think had the potential for so much more. pity i really thought the guy had potential – anyone remember the game where he almost single handedly won the game for the valke against wp last year? he was that young blonde flyhalf that was like a hot knife through butter and an accurate goal kicker.

Him or the dude that thought they needed him. The more I see of the recruitment decisions made, the more I think that central contracts are necessary. The Sharks have far too many front rowers (particularly as they scrum so badly!) and backs. The Bulls have far too many locks, losies and backs. And WP dont seem to be able to do anything, regardless of the talent they possess.
