Lions vs Bulls

Krappie het weereens baie energie gebring. Tiaan lyk of hy dalk eerder die antwoord op 10 is as Fred, terwyl Jordan uit is. EW was redelik solid die laaste paar games. Ek wens daar was meer positiewe. Die mees ooglopende negatiewe: Ek het ook opgelet dat ons lynspoed op defence baie stadig was vandag. Die verdedigers het ook nie in n lyn opgegaan nie. Ek dink ons het die game al voor die afskop verloor.

We have players that have talent, but lacks cohesion. Management is squarely to blame and needs an overall.  Altmann is a lions guy , imagine we had Rupert and Motsepe , or the American and super sport money of the sharks.  We don’t and as long as that is the case we won’t be able to compete.  Yes , we did well with “no names” from 2015 - 2018, but the world has changed since then and it’s adapt or die time

That’s not a strategy.  For me it is difficult to judge Cash as a bad coach. I think he would have had a much better record if we had the resources of the bulls and the sharks. Money can make many problems dissapear. Jake White will only taje a coaching job if the union or club has enough money for him to buy the personnel he wants.

En Cash is definitief nie daai klas afrigter nie. Ons het ook nie 'n leier in die klas van WW om die spelers aan te moedig nie. So ek is bevrees dat met hierdie groep afrigters en spelers gaan ons nerens kom nie.

Daar was 'n paar belowende tekens met die oorsese toer sowel as die wegwedstryd teen die Stormers. Ek dink dat dit baie te doen gehad het met die nuwe hulpafrigters, sowel as die paar kwaliteitspelers in die groep. Hel, selfs een-dimensionele spelers soos Warner, Zeilinga en Viljoen het 'n begin goed lyk. Maar die afgelope weke se beserings het net weer gewys hoe min kwaliteitspelers daar in die groep is wat die span deur moeilike tye kan lig. Die grootste leemte by die unie is die swak bevoegdheid van top bestuur. Om dinge reg te ruk gaan wees soos om 'n vliegtuig in vlug reg te maak.

Niela, enough was enough two years ago already. The ship is not sinking, it is already a coral reef. Probably the reason why we do not have a big "business" pumping in the money. Was surprised to see all the comments, didn't know there are still so many people willing to mess up their Saturdays...
