Sharks player ratings v Chiefs
29 Apr 13 09:51 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 48 Comments
While it is true that for a good hour of Saturday’s contest in Hamilton, the Sharks delivered a performance of power rugby that is the best we’ve seen in some while – and would easily warrant a collective score of 8 or even 9 out of 10 – the failure to pitch as a unit in the first 20 minutes of the game ultimately cost them any realistic chance of victory. The combined performance, thus, scrapes a 6/10 and we rate the individuals against that. [...]
Deysel back for Cheetahs clash
18 Apr 13 10:38 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 109 Comments
Sharks coach John Plumtree has rung the changes for his team to face the Cheetahs this weekend with the biggest surprise being the inclusion of Jean Deysel in the starting line-up. [...]
A change is gonna come
11 Apr 13 11:41 by (Big Fish) | 23 Comments
In the modern world dominated by businessmen and a focus on the bottom-line, the distinction between success (the accomplishment of an aim or purpose)and progress (forward or onward movement toward a destination) has largely been forgotten.

Sharks prevail in thrilling game
5 Apr 13 20:56 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 59 Comments
There were no tries, but it didn’t matter one bit as the Sharks shrugged off an indifferent first half to beat the Crusader 21-17 at Kings Park. [...]
Sharks player ratings v Rebels
25 Mar 13 08:00 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 58 Comments
The Sharks recorded a 64-7 drubbing of an horrendously weak Rebels team on Saturday. While the opposition wasn’t up to much, you can only play what’s in front of you and it was particularly pleasing to see the Sharks stick to their guns and fine-tune their own game. [...]
Jannie goes down
18 Mar 13 11:14 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 7 Comments
Sharks prop Jannie du Plessis appears to have joined brother Bismarck on the injury list, with a recurrence of an old knee injury limiting his involvement (and dare we say effectiveness) against the Brumbies on Saturday. [...]
Sharks player ratings v Brumbies
18 Mar 13 09:28 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 67 Comments
In a shocking team performance that barely got much above 3/10 (and was even lower in the first half), the Sharks succumbed to the Brumbies at Kings Park on Saturday. While not wanting to make matters seem worse than they are, we need to give accurate ratings to the players, knowing full well they can (and will) only improve this week. [...]
Single change for Sharks
27 Feb 13 13:22 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 37 Comments
The Sharks have made only one change to the team that beat the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein last week, bringing in Jean Deysel to start in place of Jacques Botes. [...]
Stronger Sharks for Pumas

Plum’s five (or so) big questions
8 Feb 13 12:22 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 24 Comments
Let’s play virtual coach here for a bit and try to work out what sort of things John Plumtree and his coaching team are likely to be looking to get out of tonight’s warm-up match against the Leopards. [...]
Hooking concerns for Sharks
1 Feb 13 14:07 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 37 Comments
Whilst the news that Bismarck du Plessis is still many months from full fitness after a horror knee injury is perhaps not the big news that some are making it out to be, the fact remains that the Sharks will be tested at hooker during this year’s Super Rugby tournament. [...]
We are young so let’s set the field on fire
28 Jan 13 09:35 by Gerhard van der Westhuizen (G West) | 8 Comments
Last year we all saw a lot of young players introduced to Super Rugby, either due to injury of other players or just because they are pure class. Some of them even went on to represent our nation’s pride by earning some Springbok caps. They have grown not just in size but also in stature, and this year they can really light up the Super Rugby stage! [...]

24 Jan 13 09:50 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 14 Comments
News from the Sharks camp this morning is not so positive, with reports that Dale Chadwick has broken his foot. The Sharks twitter feed reports that the prop will be out for 4 to 6 weeks with a stress fracture. [...]
