Sharks coach Hugh Reece-Edwards has confirmed that the Sharks will have much the same group of players available for this weekend’s Bulls match as they did last week.
There’s of course, good and bad news. The good is that there are no new injuries to report after the Blues game, probably for the first time this season. Each of the 22 players who played on Saturday is again available this week – although as we have seen, these “Tuesday reports” of the injury situation are subject to substantial change before the team is announced on Thursday.
The bad news is that no other players have returned this week, meaning that the likes of Meyer Bosman, Tim Whitehead and JP Pietersen remain sidelined.

I’m worried about Whitehead..
Some reports mentioned that his break as pretty bad and that even rehab won’t get him back on the field..
This is slowly but surely looking more and more true..
any news on Frans Steyn?
@The Hobbit (Comment 2) : Steyn’s gone from having “compartment syndrome” and being available for the Blues game… to having “knee surgery” with no anticipated return date.
Go figure.
That’s bad news Sharks need atleast one of their centres back for the Bulls. 😥
Why is it so difficult to get any news from the Sharks? One practically has to beg for bits and pieces! And nothing is ever fully confirmed. Very cloak and dagger. Quite fitting for black & white I presume.
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 1) :
Did his arm break off or something?
@robdylan (Comment 3) :
They run out of euphemisms for being bloody fat?
@bokbok (Comment 5) : this is the single biggest change I hope john makes.
@JD (Comment 4) : nothing has been said about Heimar Williams. He might hopefully be fit.
@Big Fish 😆
@robdylan (Comment 8) : Really would have liked to have Tim back. Do I get my 4th star only on 10 000 points?

@robdylan (Comment 11) : I still think you should make it compulsory for someone to complete Ice’s Meet the Bloggers questionnaire before they can be awarded five stars…
@robdylan (Comment 11) : Ag hell no I’m never going to get one of those nice stars that you have!!! 😯
@Culling Song (Comment 12) : @robdylan (Comment 11) : where can I find the “Meet the Bloggers questionnaire” as I don’t recall completing it.
@JD (Comment 14) : send an email to [email protected] and she’ll send you one
