What they had to say: Sharks vs Pumas, Round 1
10 Aug 15 09:26 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 25 Comments
Hi Sharks (and Bok fans)…What a terrible way to enjoy a long weekend ‘holiday’ on the Coast. I battled traffic all the way from Secunda in time to make the 18:00 kick-off, only to be subjected to an abject, lack-lustre first half display from the Sharks. They looked disinterested and seemed more keen to get off the field and back to Durban. On Saturday I went to my first ever Bok game, more on that debacle later. […]

Sharks player ratings v Pumas
1 Sep 14 10:08 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 104 Comments
It’s sad to admit, but the Sharks appear to be getting worse with each outing this season, which is really the opposite of what we’re hoping to see.
Friday’s performance in Nelspruit was embarrassing and barely warrants much more than a 4/10 for the team. […]
