Agree with you Beast regarding Heyneke. But not regarding Erasmus.

@Beast: And now why bring in the Sharks? and what Bull "has been" have the Sharks bought recently? Actually it was the Bulls trying to get two of our players namely Bissie and Waylon! And just by the way, I loved your answer to Poppa about being proudly South African well done mate!

@Valkyrie: Boet, you guys need to buy a team, we have one! Enjoy Habs, everyone knows that you make the WP trip for a year or two just befor you retire. The mouths are big now, but I invite all of to have this discussion a year from now. Heyneke is the best developer of tallent in SA and probably the world. His got the record as proof, unlike Mr. Sideshow Erasmus. Bulls rugby along with FS will dominate local rugby for years to come because we have a steady stream of tallent. WP and Sharks will always go after our has-beens and achieve little success.

It is very good to know Marius Delport has left, he was a walking hazard and very over rated, Jacque Louis will play at centre I guess and will lift Jaco Pretorius out of the starting 15

Bulls will be very good next season, stormers will be also but not as consistent like the bulls, and sharks will be there about also, the other 2 will struggle like always, not enough depth, pity makes the job so much harder for the bulls to win the title and wave the sa flag.

@justrugby: I agree. Hard to hold a "conversation". Need to know what you are replying to as well as who.

@rossoneri:

Jaco is a bit of a wack job but he is ideal player for super rugby, always keen on running the ball.

he played a vital role in the bulls scoring that final try in the 2007 super 14 final, started the attack from deep when butch couldn’t find touch… sho sho

@Brigadier Van Zyl: agree with you, Ruan is not comfortable at 10 and he should make that clear to PDV. After the B&I Lions tests he had a serious discussion with Plum that he whanted to play at 9 which Plum did, and brought in Hernandez. Cokott did not have the best of seasons though this year, our backline looked much better with McLeod (admittedly at CC level). Apparently Plum, Rudi and Ruan are due for a discussion once Ruan returns from Europe, to see where he is going to play.

but you have kokott and the other bloke.

and surely it’s not plumtree that he needs to tell, it’s twakkie DeVilliers that hasn;t figured out that he is no 10.

@Brigadier Van Zyl: you have to admit Brigadier that the Sharks only brought in Hernandez when Ruan stated that it was No 9 or he would take off! And would you play Guy Cronje as your Fh? come just a question.

@Taahirah: No Deal!!! But I tell you what, since its the season of giving, I will suggest another deal, we will send you Odwa to join his brother at the Bulls in exchange for Meisiekind

@Transformation: The only "wooden spoon" team that really beat the Sharks last year were the Cheetahs! IRO the Reds the Sharks last that game, like against the Crusaders the Sharks last the game! The Stormers last just about every game away and were denied ending at No.1 CC log by the wooden spooners, the Lions! While I do not believe we will be champions in 2010, I do not see the situation as all doom and gloom! Besides I love this doom and gloom. In 2008 it was all doom and gloom for the Sharks, and they were the only SA team to make the semis, and won CC. In 2009 it was all doom and gloom for the Bulls they were not even to make mid table and the Sharks and Stormers were supposed to just rock up and collect their trophy and we know what actually happened.

Truth be told, all our franchises look pretty strong for 2010.

As a Bull my biggest worry will be that the Bulls chief decision makers would not have had enough rest and conditioning period following the end of year tour.

By: Brigadier Van Zyl

Brigadier Van Zyl — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:34:23 +0000

The Bulls have very rarely signed big name players anyway.

Habana was still pretty much a nobody when he joined.
It surely must send a nice message to the youth sides and fringe players that they are in fact good enough and are there and there abouts.

Imagine being Ruan Pienaar and finding out that your Union has just signed a foreign flyhalf?
Or a center finding out that your Union just signed jaque Fourie?

Must be truely inspirational for a youngster playing for WP or sharks……not?

@Sharksgirl: lol! But you guys wont be playing him as Odwa and JP are your first-choice wingers. Be nice. Share. We'll trade you Jaco Pretorius...
