Hou in gedagte dat die onderhandelings venster tans oop is, en dat daar tans baie beweging in die mark is met unies en klubs wat tans kwaai agter ons senior sowel as junior spelers aan is. EK weet ook nie of dit enigsins erens in die kompetisie se reelboek staan dat n squad n sekere tyd moet aangekondig word nie.

Die leeus gaan altyd met die ekstra challenge sit van dat baie spelers eerder by die see wil gaan bly, al kry hulle minder geld.

Huh? Langtermyn onderhandeling vir super rugby ja, maar sekerlik 3 dae voor jou 'n curriebeker wedstryd speel behoort jy te weet wie is beskikbaar en wie nie??

The Currie cup starts in 3 days and our squad hasn't even been announced, shocking.

I know the competition is not what it used to be, but good grief.

Sylvian Mahuza- het altyd sy beste gegee, maar het tans te veel kompetisie in sy posisies. Sou kon doen met hom in diepte. Groot verlies.

Nic Groom- het sy bes gelewer, maar sy spelstyl het net nooit ingepas nie. Geen verlies.

Danie Mienie- het min tot geen impak gehad omdat hy amper nooit gespeel het. Geen verlies.

Robert Kruger- het hard gespeel en te min speelkans gekry. Was beslis belangrik vir diepte. Groot verlies.

Harold Vorster- puik speler, op en af in vorm soos alle spelers. Groot verlies.

Lionel Mapoe- een van ons beste spelers die afgelope paar jaar, maar raak ongelukkig nou lank in die tand. Groot verlies.

Stephan Lewies- het goed uitgehelp in ñ tyd waar Leeus ñ groot krisis op slot het, maar was net op kort termyn kontrak. Geen verlies.

Franco Naude- het hard probeer, maar nie genoeg gespeel om impak te maak. Eintlik sinneloos gewees nou dat ons kan terugkyk. Geen verlies

The loss of experienced talent is a big problem. But I think the lack of quality coaching is a much bigger issue. A competent coaching staff can get the best out of a average team. The Lions under Johan Ackerman was an example. The Lions are now in the position where the majority of the coaching staff as well as the players come from junior ranks. Being once again demoted out of Super rugby in two or three years is not far fetched.

Die vloei van talent (spelers en afrigters) uit SA het nou volwaardig ñ vloed geword. Ons het dit al jare terug voorspel. Die standaard van die afrigters en spelers beskikbaar vir hierdie jaar se Currie Cup is nie net belaglik nie, dis super-hartseer. En dis van toepassing op al die spanne, nie net die Leeus nie.

The problem is that there arent too many players with experience in the market, hence the negotiations with players like Ulengo. That is also the reason we used players like Groom and Lewies.

We thought we had depth issues this year, things have gone from bad to worse .

My concern is that we had very few guys in the Bok u/20s squad and further to this UJ and Wits dont content for the varsity cup either.

is this a result of the new contracting system? Our rugby is under serious threat. 

And SARU thinks by paying the "BEST" Boks more , they will stay, well they wont. They will get greedy anyway and we will lose youngsters due to having limited contracts available

Ok, so ons weet nou hoe die afrigtings span lyk, en watter spelers definitief NIE daar gaan wees nie. Sal nou graag die groep spelers wil sien wat beskikbaar gaan wees..

How do we know how we will react in a pressure situation? We may handle different types of pressure differently, but we all have a breaking point and something gives. We never know how we will react until we are in those situations.
Yet the Lions only had one side of the story to go on... The Victim and the witnesses were not available for the "internal hearing". I highly doubt that an Australian court would have found him guilty if it was not, as you call it, a clear cut case...
Fact of the matter is, that he is a married man, representing his employer in a foreign country that made sexual advances to another woman... Solicited or not (court found that it was unsolicited), no professional person should make himself guilty of such behavior.
In my books, merely going to church on a Sunday and asking for forgiveness does not cut it. He should have been punished for his actions and not rewarded with a head coaching position...

Again, Joey was a decent coach at age group level, winning the U19 CC in his first year, becoming assistant coach at the Junior Bokke. Can't be that bad as a coach. And his case is still on appeal. The Lions would not have kept him on if they felt he did not have a chance on his appeal. 
Have you ever coached rugby at SR level? Have you experienced that kind of pressure, irrespective of the final straw that broke the camel's back? These issue are not something to make fun of. 
The only thing I can agree with you on this post is that Niel has not been up to scratch as an attack coach.

We may be rugby fans, but certainly not fanatics that would cut corners on a moral issue such as this. 
Don't think someone like Louis Luyt would have been intimidated by any political pressure in similar situation. If memory serves me right, the Lions sacked someone a few years back for minor office sexual harassment.

Regarding coaching, who is responsible for selecting junior and school coaches into high pressure professional coaching positions?

Nope, never coached at all and I can promise u, I don't think any of this is funny...
Case being on appeal still means he was found GUILTY by a court based on the evidence available... So if I shot someone in cold blood and was found guilty and I appeal the verdict, does it all of a sudden mean I am innocent?  I honestly don't care whether he is the best coach the world has ever seen, he should not be coaching at the Lions... Fact is he was found guilty of a crime in a foreign country while representing his employer...



I agree he was supposed to be suspended untill the appeal is done.......but ,ons Mors ons asems,dit gaan nie verander en ons praat Al maande daaroor.....

I wonder if the union would be comfortable putting him in charge of one of our womens teams? If they believe he is innocent then they should have no problem putting a known, guilty sexual offender in charge of women.
