There’ve been a few developments on the player front over the last week that we probably need to spend some more time discussing. Deon Carstens has confirmed that he will leave after the Super 14, but it’s yet another round of halfback developments that cause me the most concern. [...]

Why is Andy Goode a bad idea?

Not time to hit the panic stations
The recent warm-up game against the Western Force was a disappointing result, although it does need to be seen in the right context as well. While some reports and comments (not on this site) have suggested that the Sharks do not have a strong enough squad to compete in the Super 14 this year and that they are undergoing a “transitional phase”, I believe that there is more than enough potential for this squad to be competitive. [...]
Backing Monty
We’ve had further confirmation today that Juan Hernandez is very unlikely to feature for the Sharks in the 2010 Super 14. Monty Dumond has now emerged as the only real flyhalf contender in the squad. [...]
Everitt names his warriors
Sean Everitt has named a settled combination to contest the final of the ABSA Under 21 competition, at Loftus Versveldt on Saturday afternoon. The Baby Sharks will be facing the Free State Cheetahs in a game that kicks off at 14h30. [...]
Under 21s primed for Province showdown
Sharks under-21 coach Sean Everitt has the luxury of naming a full-strength side for Saturday’s semi-final against Western Province at Newlands. The juniors have enjoyed a pretty good season, ending third on the log, by virtue of a slightly inferior points difference to their hosts. [...]
Mixed news for Sharks

The Sharks in Phokeng: a fan’s perspective
The stadium looked really fantastic as we arrived during the half time break of the under 21 game between the Sharks and the Leopards. That was a game which was won 20-14 by the young Sharks, despite letting the young Leopards in for a score on full time which allowed them to get a bonus point. [...]

Cronjé suspended

El Mago only expected to arrive in time for Cheetahs match
The good news for Sharks fans is that Juan Martin Hernandez is en route to Durban from Argentina via Paris, where he will stop in to tie up his affairs at his now former club Stade Francais writes Mike Greenaway for The Mercury on 21 July 2009. The bad news, in the short term, is that he will arrive here too late in the week for consideration for the Sharks’ home Absa Currie Cup match against the Blue Bulls on Friday night (6pm kick-off).

Rory and Guy to miss Bullrun?
Well, it never rains without pouring, to paraphrase an old saying. Don’t be surprised to see John Plumtree enquiring at his local arc dealership as his already meagre backline resources look set to be thinned even further. [...]
