The Sharks coaching team face an interesting challenge as they look to finalise the squad for the 2010 Currie Cup; with John Smit away on Springbok duty and Johann Muller on his way to Ireland, they will need to look elsewhere for a team captain. [...]

Sharks captaincy conundrum
Sharks not getting ahead of themselves
The general consensus from within the Sharks squad seems to be that Friday night’s romp against the Valke went about as well as could be expected, but that the quality of the opposition left a lot to be desired. [...]
Sharks stuff Valke by 77 points
The Sharks romped to an 80-3, 12-try to nothing victory against the Valke in Nigel last night. Jacques Botes was the hero as he scored a hat trick of tries. [...]
Sharks coaches spring a few surprises
The Sharks team named to take on the Valke in Nigel on friday night is an interesting one all right, as it differs a fair bit from the one we were expecting. A number of fringe players, most notably Justin Downey and Jean Stemmet, will have reason to feel somewhat aggrieved at the selections made. [...]
Ready to make his mark: Sharksworld chats to Steve Meyer
After something of a false start to his Sharks comeback earlier this year, flyhalf Steve Meyer is very much committed to making a huge impact on this year’s Currie Cup campaign for the Sharks. Sharksworld caught up with him for a quick chat. [...]
Steve Meyer back in training
Having been slapped over the wrists once or twice by irate readers for giving free reign to speculation and rumour when it comes to the subject of Steve Meyer, I’m going to make this piece completely, 100% factual. [...]
The official Sharksworld 2010 Super 14 awards
Well, the 2010 Super 14 has come and gone for our beloved Sharks and we decided it was time to hold our very own awards ceremony. Without further ado, here are the official Sharksworld 2010 Super 14 awards… all of which need to be taken with a major pinch of salt, it has to be said! [...]
In defence of Plum
From the outset, let me state this, I am a Plum fan BUT I believe he has made some mistakes as coach. But, I also don’t think all these calls for his head are justifiable and I think panic is setting in which is the very last thing you need. [...]
Monty got a raw deal
I wrote an article before the Super 14 season got under way – in fact, before all the nonsense with Steve Meyer, Ish Dollie, Andy Goode and whoever else even started – to the extent that the Sharks needed to back Monty Dumond to deliver the goods in the Super 14. Ruan Pienaar’s display in Christchurch has made me realise just how right I was. [...]
Goode makes sense, Steenkamp does not
Having taken a little time to get over the initial shock, I reckon it’s time to look at the Sharks most recent signings calmly and rationally. There’s been a fair bit of emotion expressed here and I think it’s safe to say that, as fans, we’re all a little stunned and confused at this point. [...]
Steve Meyer to rethink retirement?
There are rumours that Steve Meyer may rethink his retirement and re-sign with the Sharks. If it seemed that Meyer’s retirement may have been a little rash and sudden, that may be because it is thought to have been an emotional decision. [...]
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. [...]
Knee injury forced Meyer to quit
A crisis of confidence surrounding the state of his knees is apparently what prompted Sharks flyhalf Steve Meyer to quite the game this week. [...]
Supporting Steve
The news of Steve Meyer’s retirement was a shock to pretty much everyone and there has been much negative press surrounding it. I don’t pretend to know what the reason for it is but I do believe the negative press has been unfair on the man. [...]
Dumond starts for Sharks
The sudden (and unexplained) retirement from all rugby by Steve Meyer has opened the door for Monty Dumond to start at flyhalf for the Sharks against the Chiefs on Saturday. Willem Alberts has been named on the bench. [...]
