Sharksworld has been informed that Sharks lock Alistair Hargreaves was rested from training this week as the result of a minor foot injury.
Hargreaves was the one glaring omission from the 28-man squad named to face Boland in a friendly at Kings Park on Friday night – the information that he has a niggle goes a long way towards explaining the non-selection.
Hope it comes right quickly, Al.

Oh, and here I thought it might be because he might be the nr 6 in queue for the locks… 😈 But that’s my opinion.
Anyway – wishing a speedy recovery.

Same here!
@Ice (Comment 1) : @Pokkel (Comment 2) : Regardless of position in the lock pecking order, he’s still a better centre option than MJ… 😈
@Pokkel (Comment 2) : @Ice (Comment 1) : and here 😳 quick recover Alistair.
@Culling Song (Comment 3) :
Your starting to develop a ‘grant10’ complex regarding MJ…although it’s a lot more justified. 😈 😉
@Culling Song (Comment 3) : I think I would also be a better centre option than MJ! 😈
@Pokkel (Comment 5) : The problem is that even when MJ was at the height of his playing abilities (which were undeniable; a hat-trick against the AB’s is pretty damn impressive), he just rubbed me up the wrong way. No rational reason, just one of those “moer my gesig” responses. So you can see how there’s really no way up from there…
@Pokkel (Comment 5) : I am also suffering from that complex I’m afreaid 🙁
Ali, get better soon. We will need you too.
@Pokkel (Comment 5) : What’s the equivalent of ‘Turbo Reverse’ in MJ’s case? 😀
@vanmartin (Comment 10) :
‘slo-mo’??
@Pokkel (Comment 11) : Well done sir, well done! You nailed it in one try 🙂
@Culling Song (Comment 3) : 😛
@vanmartin (Comment 12) :
I aim to please!
@Culling Song (Comment 3) :
Brilliant..
@Culling Song (Comment 3) : Do you write this down at night when insomnia hits? Classic!!!
Al doesn’t feature in my plans. Sell him. DHS pride sure. Also Kings Park show pony. Maybe Captain of VC, if you want to throw him a lifeline…
