sorry Sharks fans…..damage done before you start with Smit at 3…..thats turbo reverse overdrive….Plum wont learn…..accomodation selections again. Should have flown Herbst over. Really believed Sharks would have seen the light after the 56 th minute of last week game…..but no one has the guts to drop Smit. Will he hoping for a Sharks win…..but in turbo reverse watch Ruan and Kanko come under enormous pressure…..hopes have faded now. Sorry….but thats how i feel.

Brumbies will be up for this one….can’t see the Sharks living with them…..they just play with more tempo….because of that …..more yellow cards may be on the way ! 😥 Comment 12, posted at 11.03.10 11:58:16 by Hertford Highlander

@grant10 (Comment 11) : Brumbles scrum is useless, they don’t have Walsh to protect them this weekend, the scrum will be relatively solid. I know you’ll argue to the death, but at least admit that it wasn’t such a bad call after we’ve beaten the Brumbels. Comment 16, posted at 11.03.10 12:07:40 by FireTheLooser

@Miguel (Comment 14) : as long as Sharks are prepared to concede at scrum time they will be beaten….essentially your platform to attack from between 8 to 15 phases of scrums is retarted…..not to mention the opposition, who will now gain the ascendancy iin the scrums and attack from front foot ball. It is so frustrating to see great attacking talents having to operate off a retreating platform. I would have played Kockitt as well….and instructed him to hound Giteau……with Ruan and Goode expect Giteau to have a field day behind a solid pack that will come under no pressure at scrum time. Sorry mate….but it will take a miracle now. Comment 17, posted at 11.03.10 12:08:10 by grant10

HI GUYS. Sorry, quiet week. Had one of those weeks! Cannot believe Plum has gone back to JS at 3. Not sure of the strength of Brumbies 1-3 but this is a fail. Sharks to take this one though, I think. Comment 26, posted at 11.03.10 12:25:45 by deanoelsch

@grant10 (Comment 11) : Sadly I agree and you cannot drop Bismarck on current form. The captain’s famed handeling of the referees has not worked out so well this year and Stefan has proven to be a good captain (as long as it isn’t Muller) A scrum going backwards will affect Kanko and the rest of the bankline. Comment 29, posted at 11.03.10 12:32:09 by Pokkel

@deanoelsch (Comment 26) : Brumbles had Walshie wiping their noses this past weekend, they won’t have it again, Smit will stand his ground, Brumbles will give away penalty after penalty at the scrum. Comment 30, posted at 11.03.10 12:33:59 by FireTheLooser

DAMN THat Headline is just BEGGING to come back and bite us on the arse on Saturday afternoon. Then PJLD can post a “sore” status update on FB again. 🙂 Comment 31, posted at 11.03.10 12:34:08 by KSA Shark ©

I’ll be the first to admit that the Sharks looked better last week with Smit off the field. I’m pretty convinced he’s still unfit cos when Bis came on suddenly it felt like 15 men on the field. Comment 39, posted at 11.03.10 12:38:31 by CapeShark

@KSA Shark © (Comment 38) : 😆 😆 😆 Comment 40, posted at 11.03.10 12:40:03 by sharks_lover

@CapeShark (Comment 39) : Fatty Smit has been unfit ever since he had a taste of the good life over in France with Clemont. The team’s not perfect but it’s still good enough to beat the Brumbies. I’ve a good feeling about this one. Comment 41, posted at 11.03.10 12:41:39 by Flashman

@sharks_lover (Comment 25) :yes like you and gbs 😉 @Charlie (Comment 23) : denialist! 😀 Comment 42, posted at 11.03.10 12:43:11 by Megatron

Smit was our starting hooker for the Boks in 2009 and did an admirable job, even destroying the highly rated Tony Woodcock!! How many tests did we win with Smit at 3?? Grant10?? Care to answer?? Comment 43, posted at 11.03.10 12:48:42 by wpw

@wpw (Comment 43) : You also have to look at who Smit had behind him and who the scrumhalf was. Bakkies was a lot of Smit’s handeling of the no 3 spot and Du Preez much better at handeling the pressure Comment 47, posted at 11.03.10 12:55:04 by Pokkel

@sharks_lover (Comment 51) : I just saw that as well while I’m busy doing the match threads for this weekend. So they remove Marks from the S14 panel because he cocked up in a Sharks match and because the Sharks coach asked for an official review of the Ref’s performance. So after removing him they appoint him to run touch for the Sharks the very next week???????????? 😯 😯 😯 The appointments for the 1st 5 weeks of the S14 were made before the start of the season. I can only hop that the change of TJ has not yet filtered down through the channels. 👿 Comment 61, posted at 11.03.10 13:09:14 by KSA Shark ©

@sharks_lover (Comment 51) : we truly are screwed with those 4 officating Comment 62, posted at 11.03.10 13:09:37 by justinwhufc

@Just a Fan (Comment 57) : The referees and Assistant referees panel are two different things and while he has been stood down as a referee, he may still be a Assistant referee. We have quite a few referees in SA who are ARs in the tournament but will not referee in it. I just HOPE that he HAS been stood down from both. Comment 63, posted at 11.03.10 13:11:39 by KSA Shark ©

boys all i can hope for is that the sharks pull together and forget about the officials and play out of their skin that is our only hope Comment 64, posted at 11.03.10 13:14:24 by sharks_lover

From what I understand Marks has been stood down as a Ref (perhaps not as an assistant referee). Oh shite! Comment 65, posted at 11.03.10 13:15:31 by Oubaas2009

I fear that with El Kapetaan at 3, Odwa still in the mix and the fact that we last beat the Brumbies at home way back when, we are on a hiding to nothing! I wish it wasn’t so but I would go for Brumbies by 15 on Superbru. But hell never write off the underdog, just ask the Reds! Comment 66, posted at 11.03.10 13:18:49 by Oubaas2009

@justinwhufc (Comment 62) : @KSA Shark © (Comment 63) : @sharks_lover (Comment 64) : If anything the referees might favour the Sharks out of fear for their jobs. They might over compensate and blow the other way (which isn’t really right either) Comment 67, posted at 11.03.10 13:19:00 by Pokkel

@Fattmann (Comment 79) : From the South African Rugby referees website. Two of SANZAR’s panel of referees for the Super 14 will not be getting appointments to Super 14 matches until they have made improvements to their performances. The two are Paul Marks of Australia and Pro Legoete of South Africa. In this year’s Super 14, Marks has refereed two matches – Hurricanes vs Lions and Waratahs vs Sharks. Legoete refereed the second half of Sharks vs Cheetahs, when he came on for Jonathan Kaplan who was unwell, and then Cheetahs vs Highlanders. The temptation is to say that Marks was being penalised for the Kurtley Beale incident when some (Sharks’ supporters) believed he should have awarded a penalty try. but Lyndon Bray of New Zealand, who is the manager of the referees in the Super 14, said of the Marks decision: “Paul has been ‘stood down’, to work on some management versus technical issues. It is not all about that one decision!” On the Legoete decision he says: ” In the same way Pro Legoete is not currently in the draw and is looking at working on his accuracy at scrum and tackle.” At the moment the two referees, like players out of form, will not be chosen as referees in Super 14 matches and their return is dependent on how well they eliminate their weaknesses – get back into form. They will be given help to improve. This is not new to refereeing but usually it has not been noised abroad. Bray said: “We are trying to be ‘transparent’ and open in the way we handle referees, as teams have to be with players.” Referees and assistant referees are different panels within the structure.

I’m all for optimism this week. The Brumbies have been blowing hot and cold despite their 3 wins and the Sharks showed a massive improvement last week. I think we could actually take this one. Comment 90, posted at 11.03.10 15:49:40 by CapeShark

Andy Goode continues at flyhalf, which means that Ruan Pienaar is getting another chance to get reacquainted with his old scrumhalf jersey. However the partnership may not last for long as it has been learned that Goode will not be available for the Sharks after they return to South Africa due to the procedure that would have to be followed to secure him a work permit. 😯 😯 😯 Comment 107, posted at 12.03.10 07:41:26 by Charlie
