@Son Of Mayhem (Comment 5) : ag well there’s always next year to win Superbru!!!
Can not stand the bias of SuperSport, Sharks winning the league never get a compliment, other 4 teams bottom of the table, not a foot wrong.
Cheetahs almost did the Sharks a huge favour. Pity Benjamin could not hold on to the ball.
Well done Bulls. Showed a lot of heart to beat a game Cheetahs side.
I have to say Pollard is starting to look better every week. I still cannot believe the Bulls selected the limited Fouche ahead of him at the start of the competition. Hougaard is also looking a lot better now.
Yeah hougaard is looking better, but still got some way to go. Pollard also looking better. Bulls still need that opensider……cause brussow was a handful
