From what I have read here on Sharksworld, and from watching the trials last Friday evening, it is clear that the Sharks have an abundance of talent within the second row, with up to six players in competition for what can at most be only four spots in the Super Squad. [...]

How much is too much?
Sharks named for Boland clash

Could this be it?
Coach John Plumtree has come out and said that he will select his strongest possible squad to face the Kings in Port Elizabeth in two weeks time, meaning that his fringe players will get a run in the game on Friday night against Boland. [...]
Sharks selection picture becomes a little clearer
John Plumtree has revealed that he sees the final warm up game, against the Kings in PE, as a “dress rehearsal” for the season opener against the Bulls the following week. That’s a pretty clear indication that he will field his strongest side in that game with this weekend’s outing against Boland earmarked for a little more experimentation. [...]

Sharks player ratings v Pumas
It’s safe to say opinion is divided when it comes to the Sharks’ 33-20 victory over the Pumas this weekend. Some fans are quite happy to have picked up the five points despite never really playing well, while others are furious that the Sharks didn’t prevail by 80 points, like the Cheetahs managed to a few weeks back. Herewith, our completely subjective ratings of the individuals concerned, with justifications. We don’t expect you to agree with them! [...]
Sharks capitulate, but still score 5
The Sharks managed to again disappoint the few supporters that went to Mr. Price Kings Park on Saturday afternoon, proving that any match played at home is a battle even if it is against a team that has not won a match so far this season. The Sharks won, yes, outscoring their opponents 33 – 20, but it took them a while to get going and alarm bells must now be ringing that the Sharks just cannot get themselves to bury a minnow team. [...]
Sharks bulk up for Bulls
The Sharks team to face the Bulls at Loftus this weekend has been announced, and sees a few changes to the forward pack, as our psychic Rob Otto predicted. [...]
Marais in line for start?
It’s always somewhat dodgy to draw conclusions from a photograph, but if one or two of the snaps I’ve seen of the Sharks training session yesterday have any relevance, then John Plumtree might be looking to freshen up his second row ahead of Saturday’s must-win clash against the Blue Bulls. [...]
Sharks player ratings vs Lions
