The Sharks may just be boosted by the availability of two players, in particular, who make a huge difference to their prospects. [...]

Miraculous recoveries on the cards
Got to keep Pienaar – simply have to
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. [...]
Taking a step up: Sharksworld chats to Al Hargreaves
Here at Sharksworld we pride ourselves on being able to get up close and personal with the lads who wear the black and white jersey with pride every weekend. Our latest victim is none other than big lock Alistair Hargreaves, who we managed to corner for 10 questions. [...]
Muller is back
The good news to emerge from Sharks training yesterday was the return to fitness of Johann Muller, just as we predicted. [...]
Time to turn the screws
Let’s not pull any punches here. The Lions are a team in crisis at the moment and the Sharks simply have to hand them a proper hiding at Coca-Cola Park this weekend. There is no excuse for anything other than a convincing bonus-point win. [...]
Searching for a new skipper
Something that occurred to me just a day or so ago. With Johann Muller already confirmed to leave after the Super 14 and both John Smit and Stefan Terblanche unlikely to play any Currie Cup, the Sharks are getting to the point where they need to appoint a new captain, not only for that competition but also to take them forward from here.

Sharks injury toll mounts
The bad news is that Johann Muller’s broken finger will definitely rule him out of this weekend’s game against the Hurricanes. The worse news is that no fewer than 9 other squad members were forced to sit out training on Monday owing to a variety of bumps and bruises. [...]
Muller in doubt

Sharks team for Cheetahs clash
The Sharks team for this Friday’s match against the Cheetahs has been announced with a few changes in both the backline and forward pack. [...]
Time to trust the structures
Gerhard Mostert will see a specialist in Pretoria tomorrow to find out exactly what the prognosis is on his injured shoulder. Sharks doctor Craig Roberts’ assessment is far from positive and we’re expecting the big lock to be ruled out for the entire 2010 Super 14, if not the whole season. [...]
Injury update
The news is not good when it comes to Gerhard Mostert’s shoulder. [...]
It only gets harder from here
To say that the Sharks really couldn’t afford a home loss to start off their campaign would certainly be a contender for “understatement of the month”. In a game that never reached any great heights, thanks in no small part to both the rain and the referee, the home side paid the price for shocking discipline and a worrying failure to create any scoring opportunities.
