For those of us absolutely desperate for even the slightest hint of action, I have a (rather unsatisfying) alternative.
Gallo Images have posted teaser images of the head-shots taken of the Sharks Super Rugby squad on their site. You can find the gallery here, but remember these images are copyrighted, so you can’t steal them for your own nefarious purposes.
A good way to while away a few hours, perhaps, while we wait for some actual rugby…

I see the jerseys look slightly different.
@JarsonX (Comment 1) : really?
Hmm looks like a new jersey design to me
you guys are right….. collar is a bit different
@robdylan (Comment 4) : As are the shoulders and the side panels. It’s nothing huge and it’s no more than any of the other BLK redesigns (baring the Rebels). It’s no more than anyone should expect from a new jersey, but it counts in my mind.
Man, I hope nobody check my browser history and sees this thread title…
Was watching a game last year with some mates who didn’t follow rugby, and one was curious why the Sharks had “Cello” on the front. Thought they were sponsored by an orchestra!
Hey, three stars! 🙂
@Here be dragons (Comment 6) : woohoo!
Am I the only person who read this hoping for something completely different? 😀
Guys look lean. Can see that preseason was tough and that the guys are going to play a high tempo game.
Where is Tyler Fisher?
@Seth101 (Comment 8) : no. That was intentional. Have to get you guys to click somehow…. been a slow month 🙂
@Saffex (Comment 10) : Grey Squad, I believe.
@robdylan (Comment 11) : You’ll probably have us clicking even if your headline read “Most boring thread ever” (not implying this one is…just as an example) 😉
@FireTheLooser (Comment 13) : call me Walter White
@robdylan (Comment 12) : Very sad to hear – wake up Venter and co is all I can say
@robdylan (Comment 11) : The slow month Thing is not my fault: I was on leave and actually had time to post some thoughts! Alas, today is my last day of leave!! Oh well, it was nice…
@pastorshark (Comment 16) : that shiny platinum star is proof that you are definitely not part of the problem!
@Seth101 (Comment 8) : what photos of the flasher girls? 😀
What is the Gray Squad? Extended team or Vodacom Cup? Noticed Alcino Isaacs in the pics, I take it he is a full member? Is he just a wing or also FB?
OK, no more 30 questions!
@Here be dragons (Comment 19) : Grey squad is “Vodacom cup team”.
@Saffex (Comment 15) : Venter and co are paid the big bucks to do their thing, so no need to fret.
@JD (Comment 18) : This is an idea! I think Rob needs to run an in depth article into the current squad and training of this years flasher team! Are there any new signings? I would love to know 😀
Thanks Rob! I can’t even open the page at work as our firewall blocks it as it contains the word “porn” LOL.
Guess that’s what proxy sites are for huh..
@Saffex (Comment 15) : Based on his club performances last year after his injury he is lucky to make the Grey Squad…give him time to get back into things slowly
@robdylan (Comment 4) : Yeah; my client is CELL C marketing and confirm new trim changes to the jersey and shorts – the carbon fiber element remains, but slight tweaks to collar and trim.
@DarkDestroyer (Comment 25) : I don’t believe the replica jerseys will be updated to match, though.
@robdylan (Comment 26) : Yep; don’t think so, unless we win the tournament… Felt so bleak keeping that information to myself.
So where will the Huawei logo be placed?
@DarkDestroyer (Comment 27) :
unlessuntil@Salmonoid the Subtle (Comment 28) : we’re not getting one. Only the Lions, since Huawei is an associate sponsor for them.
@robdylan (Comment 29) : I’ll take that! 😉
@robdylan (Comment 30) : Thats a nice sponsorship then, lots of free goodies with no commitment / jersey clutter.
@robdylan (Comment 26) : got mine in white and black!!!! Must say it’s stunning jerseys so I’m glad they stayed mostly the same (and now I have both jerseys for 2015 season)!!!!!!!
@Another Nick (Comment 23) : hahaha im laughing untill my wife sees porn in my browser history then it will be “but angel darling liefie………. it’s just the Sharks”
@JD (Comment 34) : Kakaka!!
@robdylan (Comment 29) : I like the way you think!!
Jerseys look fine, am I blind, but I thought Frans Steyn was joining back up with the Sharks for the Super 15?
@Francois Kokot (Comment 37) : He is…but he’s only joining the squad once his season in Japan is finished…so we’ll have to do without him for the first couple of weeks…
