When they gonna announce the sharks team? Comment 2, posted at 15.12.08 10:27:10 by Bok-Clyde-Kiwi

Very strong front row and in the backs from 12 outwards but not to much depth. Comment 3, posted at 15.12.08 10:28:00 by MysticShark

I think we are going to see an even weaker bottom 3 or 4 in the Super 14 this coming season. Comment 4, posted at 15.12.08 10:30:15 by Dive Pass

this is a kak squad. Comment 5, posted at 15.12.08 10:32:17 by robdylan

Watch out for this lad though. Victor Vito 1.92m 110kg 27.03.87 Comment 7, posted at 15.12.08 10:52:52 by KSA Shark ©

@KSA Shark © (Comment 7) : oh ho! The 7s whizz has decided to try play with the big boys… Let’s see how clever he feels after getting Wolla’d a few times Comment 8, posted at 15.12.08 11:03:13 by robdylan

@robdylan (Comment 8) : I think he will get limited time off the bench in his 1st season. He is still a youngster, but give him a season or two. Comment 9, posted at 15.12.08 11:14:39 by KSA Shark ©

@KSA Shark © (Comment 9) : ok – so still only 21 or 22… he’s the next big thing, isn’t he? Comment 10, posted at 15.12.08 11:16:18 by robdylan

@KSA Shark © (Comment 7) : Yes him and also Willie Ripia. But they are desperately short on experience in the loosies (Collins’ name is a glaring ommission) and also at lock. You can attack their tight 5 I reckon. Comment 11, posted at 15.12.08 12:10:20 by MorneN

@MorneN (Comment 11) : Ripia is still very green, though… ever heard of the other flyhalf? Comment 12, posted at 15.12.08 12:16:37 by robdylan

@robdylan (Comment 12) : Cant say I have Rob, but then we hardly saw any NPC games this year. Comment 14, posted at 15.12.08 12:21:08 by MorneN

@robdylan (Comment 10) : That is what they say and was apparently very good in the NPC for Wellington. Comment 15, posted at 15.12.08 12:23:10 by KSA Shark ©

@KSA Shark © (Comment 15) : and Wellington had a very good NPC as well. And we’ve grabbed another of their coaches Comment 16, posted at 15.12.08 12:26:36 by robdylan

I suspect Weepu might get employed at flyhalf on more than just the odd occasion during the season. Comment 17, posted at 15.12.08 12:33:32 by KSA Shark ©

@robdylan (Comment 16) : we have? Comment 18, posted at 15.12.08 12:34:00 by KSA Shark ©

@KSA Shark © (Comment 18) : Chris Boyd? Comment 19, posted at 15.12.08 12:45:05 by robdylan

@robdylan (Comment 19) : Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.sharksworld.co.za/2008/09/23/sharks-bring-another-kiwi-coach-on-board/ Our search function works well. Comment 20, posted at 15.12.08 12:52:05 by KSA Shark ©

@KSA Shark © (Comment 20) : it does, doesn’t it? Comment 21, posted at 15.12.08 12:53:39 by robdylan

They appear to be missing a couple of guys from this year’s S14: Jerry Collins, Jimmy Gopperth, Chris Masoe, Shannon Paku, Jeremy Thrush, Tane Tuipiluto, Bernie Upton, Thomas Waldrom. Only 3 locks, and 8 guys gone from this year is a big change in personnel. I am going to call this team to finish out of the top 4. Comment 22, posted at 15.12.08 13:07:21 by Baldrick

@Baldrick (Comment 22) : well below the top 4 I think. Thrush is there but all the others are gone. Comment 23, posted at 15.12.08 13:10:52 by KSA Shark ©

@KSA Shark © (Comment 23) : yeah, but this is just a preliminary squad. It really means nothing much Comment 24, posted at 15.12.08 13:12:35 by robdylan

@KSA Shark © (Comment 23) : They finished 4th this year with a good squad, I don’t see them making the semis again. Certainly don’t expect them to finish in the bottom 3rd, but certainly around mid to upper table, 5th to 7th. I put Zim$ 100 000 000 000 000 000 (16c) on them to finish 6th.

@Baldrick (Comment 25) : Zim$ 100 000 000 000 000 000 (16c) Gee their currency has gotten stronger suddenly Comment 26, posted at 15.12.08 13:16:55 by KSA Shark ©

@KSA Shark © (Comment 26) : Yeah, apparently there is no more cholera. Comment 27, posted at 15.12.08 13:36:26 by Baldrick

@Baldrick (Comment 27) : hey now! Comment 28, posted at 15.12.08 13:47:30 by robdylan

@robdylan (Comment 28) : Sorry, was meant as a humorous dig rather than political. Comment 29, posted at 15.12.08 14:29:39 by Baldrick

@Baldrick (Comment 29) : no worries, Baldie… Comment 30, posted at 15.12.08 15:05:43 by robdylan
