@CS (Comment 30) : would take a better salesman than Plumtree to sell that one to the squad

Maybe they should be playing ALL the returning Boks to give our 2nd stringers a rest… it’s going to be a long CC season affterall

@rhineshark (Comment 28) : well, see the latest article. A right old conundrum on our hands. Fact is, I reckon the team that beat the Bulls will lose to the Cheetahs. Our full-strength team should take them, though, but at what cost?

@robdylan (Comment 25) : It's early days in the CC, our squad is fine and we are 2nd on the log. I think we have a tendency to rush players back too soon after injury and specifically guys like Bissie should not play before we know for certain that their injuries have healed 110%. Besides our Currie Cup campaign we have next year's S15 and the RWC 2011 to think about, so I won't mind if all our currently crocked stars only play from Round 8 onwards. Not that I wouldn't want to see a full strength side take the field, mind you. Once everyone's fit we're going to have an awesome squad of quality players to pick from.

@Louis (Comment 23) : I know that Bismarck is running, but hasn't been cleared to take contact yet. Pretorius probably isn't more than a few weeks away from fitness (or whatever his version of that is). Mapoe is also running with the squad, but the last I heard was that he was going to miss the entire first half of the competition, hence a return against Griquas is Round 8 is probably the earliest we might see him. No idea at all about Janneman.

@robdylan (Comment 22) : True. And sometimes he does make sense. Sometimes.

@rhineshark (Comment 21) : only sometimes... only sometimes. The man has built something successful - whether you admire his methods or not.

@Letgo (Comment 18) : JIP, the injury list in SA is horrendous at the moment. Luckily our Sharkies are coming off them one by one

@robdylan (Comment 20) : You take Keo’s advice? Bad idea!

@rhineshark (Comment 17) : remember it’s all theatre

(that’s the advice I got from Keo on Twitter)

@rhineshark (Comment 17) : I think maybe these three are more injuries, added to the many we already have.

@rhineshark (Comment 17) : Well Injuries(Bekker), injuries (Dean Greyling) and more injuries (Stegman)…seems pretty accurate to me.

By: rhineshark

rhineshark — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 08:48:54 +0000

Injuries, injuries and more injuries? Jeez, by the headline I thought there was a team bus accident or something. So only Bekker and two Bulls players?

For a while there I thought I was on Keo
