Another exciting season of Super 14 rugby has come to a predictable end, with the Bulls yet again walking off with the trophy. Perhaps more importantly, though, is that we are (finally) in a position to announce our winners in the JustRugby.net Super 14 Fantasy League and Last Man Standing competitions!
Looking at our Fantasy League competition, kindly sponsored by Marshall’s World of Sport, it has been neck-and-neck between the two front-runners right up until the final round. We are please to announce that sexkitten, who so narrowly lost out on a win in our inaugural Currie Cup Fantasy League back in 2008, has managed to squeak first place with an impressive points total of 6378. Sexkitten takes home a betting voucher to the value of R4000. Let’s hope she doesn’t blow it all on backing the Sharks to win the Currie Cup. Just a few points behind in second place was our old friend Ellie, who won the Currie Cup Fantasy League in 2009. The good new for her, though, is that our other prize, a R2000 betting voucher, goes home with her, since she posted the highest individual round score (668.75) back in round 5.
If there’s one thing we’re learning here, it’s that the girls kick ass at Fantasy League. There’s also a bit of a stranglehold developing here, with the same few players proving dominant competition after competition. Time for some new blood to rise to the challenge in the Currie Cup Fantasy League in 2010?
Moving over the the Weber Last Man Standing competition, as you know, we’ve been in tie-break territory since the knock-out rounds started. No fewere than 9 players managed to get through the round robin without losing their life, but there were two clear stand-out performers when we took Sharksworld participation over the course of the Super 14 into account. Our over-all winner is somewhat of a new face, in Hertford Highlander, who has certainly made up for lost time. Hertford has posted a staggering 1493 comments since the Super 14 started and we are very pleased to award him the first-place prize of a pair of his-and-hers Super 14 jerseys. No prizes for guessing which ones he’ll choose! Will Mrs Highlander be seen dead in a Highlanders jersey, though? That is the question!
As per the rules announced at the start of the competition, the prize of a Weber braai goes to our highest-placed South African entrant and I’m pleased to announce that one of our oldest and most loyal posters, wpw has emerged as the winner of this prize. Congrats, Wes – and you’re going to have to make the circle a lot bigger when inviting all of us over to your place for a braai. Wes posted 1389 comments over the course of the Super 14.
Congratulations to all the winners and we’ll be in touch shortly to confirm delivery of your prizes. Be sure to play in the next instalments of the JustRugby.net competitions in the 2010 Currie Cup.

Nice one! Well done ladies and HH.
Well done to Sexkitten and Ellie….girls kick butt..
Well done to HH and WPW for hours of entertainment….half the reason I commented so little is that I spend all my time reading through their comments first.

@wpw (Comment 4) : I may have a “beer-up-the-bottie” chicken cooker thing that would work beautifully with that Weber… btw is it a WEBER or a Chinese knock-off kinda WEBBER thing?
Anywhooo just need to find the chicken cooker thingy – we moved and things are in boxes…
@SandTiger (Comment 12) : You new to the blog so won’t get the “pun” in my [email protected]Me2 aka Mama Shark (Comment 11) : ..and unfortunately I cannot explain it…something to do with the Confdentially Clause π
@SandTiger (Comment 12) :
Would you believe me if I told you my surname is Weber?? π―
And no, it wasn’t rigged!! π
@Me2 aka Mama Shark (Comment 13) : I figured your spelling couldn’t be THAT bad… but my little Chinese knock off jokey crashed and burned quite badly… π³
@wpw (Comment 14) : I’m keeping my beer-up-the-bottie chicken cooker thingy if I can find it… maybe you should be cooking stuff that smells a bit more FISHY…
Well done everyone. You guys had more LUCK than the rest of us π π
@wpw (Comment 14) : Geluk ou maat. Ek kom nie veel in die Kaap nie so moet nou nie die Weber opgebruik voor ek kom kuier nie. π

@wpw (Comment 5) :
Do you get a cup for ending 2nd but being the 1st SA based player?
I hope not. π
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 27) :
HEY!! I was hoping I do!! πΏ
Who do I have to brown-nose around here in order to get that Cup??
@BoerSeun (Comment 21) :
Dude Seriously!!!!!!! Check you post before you post it?
Spelling is not an issue but the CAPITALS. π
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 27) : What about a bronse cup for ending third in Superbru?
Damn so close yet so far… maybe next time
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 27) : no, you don’t π
Reminds me… I need to hand out the cups
@robdylan (Comment 31) :
Wes is gonna be PIIIIIIIISSED. π
@Farlington (Comment 30) :
Well in that case can I have a beige one for ending 7th in the Fantasy league? π
@robdylan (Comment 31) :
Rob
I agree. I am 100% behind your decision!! π π
@wpw (Comment 34) :
GATKRUIP must be a national sport in CT ‘coz you seem to be DAMN good at it. π
No worries Wes we will refer to you as Wes the SA FL champ. π π
FL stands for Fantasy league for any who MAY have been wondering. π
Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to Rob for organising the prizes and of course, thank to the sponsors of the prizes.
And now an extra, very special, well done to WPW for finally winning something for the Western Province folk.
@robdylan (Comment 31) :
If ever I saw someone who is a Leader of Men, Rob is that person!! π
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 35) :

Do you remember WHERE it is you’re going on holiday of moet Sharkette vir jou reminders los oppie yskas??
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 33) : I just checked and I suddenly moved from third (Tuesday) to fourth (Thursday) π . Was there a game played on Wednesday? π
@wpw (Comment 38) :
Ag I just hold her hand and follow her. Hopefully we’ll end up in the right place. π
@Salmonoid (Comment 36) :
Hey, don’t let me vloek at you.
Oh what the heck… Jou Earl man!! πΏ
@Farlington (Comment 39) :
No but the updates for the Final were only done on Wednesday morning. If you had looked more in depth on Tuesday you would have noticed that your score from last week hadn’t changed. π
@Salmonoid (Comment 36) :
BUT true to form the representative from WP/Stormers was in fact the bridesmaid. π
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 43) :
At least we got to get married.
You guys were stuck at the loser table!! π
@wpw (Comment 44) :
DUDE the Bridesmaid doesn’t get married the BRIDE does. π

Well at least I got a Weber, OK!! π
*embarrassed face*
@wpw (Comment 41) :
And thats the thanks I get for saying well done. π
@Salmonoid (Comment 47) :
Sorry dude!! π
@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 43) :
And they actually believe that they were cheated out of top spot. Some things never change.
@Salmonoid (Comment 49) :

@KSA Shark Β© (Comment 42) : Aaahh!! Bollocks
@wpw (Comment 48) :
You can make up for it by arranging a Sharksworld Weber braai up.
@Salmonoid (Comment 52) :
I was waiting for that…
We should definitely have a Sharksworld CT get together!! π
@wpw (Comment 53) : :cool:,
Well it’s a proud day ! I’ve dreamed of a Cup for years now and finally it has arrived.
Finally the ‘King of Predictions’ has brought home the bacon.
I would like to thank all the well wishes (i think there were two).
Congratulations as well to my other 8 LMS Finalists.
Mrs Highlander may take some convincing to slip into her new Jersey.
To my good virtual friend Wes …. it was a fight to the end and the prize was equally distributed. I may dust off my Weber tonight to celebrate your success!
Finally a big thanks to Rob and KSA for organising the comp’s, I love them. I’m hoping something can be organised for the Tri Series.
Yours in Rugby
