When the beautiful game turns ugly
20 Nov 15 11:40 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 139 Comments
While we’ve talked a fair bit – rather enthusiastically, for the most part – about an exciting squad that’s being assembled for Super Rugby by the Sharks, I don’t think it’s right or fair to gloss over the ugly reality that a number of players who have worn the black and white proudly in recent times have been shown the door at the same time.

The captaincy conundrum
23 Oct 15 10:55 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 85 Comments
A few eager souls have started discussing the thorny issue of captaincy for the 2016 season already, so I thought that a quiet Friday would be the perfect time to weigh in with my own opinion. Few would argue that the Sharks – particularly in Super Rugby – have battled in this area of late and it’s one where a genuine, long term solution needs to be found. […]

Rest for Marco as Bulls loom large
23 Sep 15 10:39 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 41 Comments
Sharks Director of Rugby Gary Gold has made a somewhat unusual selection call this week, resting captain Marco Wentzel for Friday night’s must-win Currie Cup clash against the Bulls. With the veteran lock having played 80 minutes every week so far, it’s not unexpected that he’d need a bit of a breather, but the timing can perhaps be questioned, given the critical nature of this match.

Two rounds in and where do we stand?
18 Aug 15 10:49 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 72 Comments
I’ve been to-ing and fro-ing regarding the publication of player ratings articles for this Currie Cup. They’re generally well received by readers as an easily-digestible snippet of opinion as to how individuals performed in a given game, but have also proved to be unpopular in certain quarters, since it is hard to accurately represent all the nuances of a particular performance in a simple (and often arbitrary) numerical score. […]

The Sharks picked up a vital bonus-point Currie Cup win against the EP Kings in Durban on Saturday afternoon, in a game that was at times even closer than the 33-25 scoreline would suggest. […]

Saluting some bold selections
6 Aug 15 10:58 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 31 Comments
I think I speak for just about everyone here when I say that the Sharks team selected for tomorrow night’s Currie Cup opener certainly has raised the excitement levels. With a decent mix of expected selections and a few genuine surprises, there’s a definite sense that we could see something rather special from the Sharks this campaign. […]
