The schools of the Academy team are wrong in various respects. Letho Dlamini (3) and Morne vd Berg (15) are both in Linden, Vuyo Shongwe (22) is in Randburg and I think the 9 & 10 are both in Helpmekaar.
@Andre T: O, hy is seker 0’19. Sien hy is die losskakel by die 0’19s.
@Andre T: hoekom speel Jacques Joubert nie? Daai is ‘n baie begaafde scrummie!
Is Franco Tiedt nie Monnas se 3de keuse 9 nie?
@BrotherBear: Kan nie komentaar lewer op groot skole liga nie ( Helpies doen baie goed en Linden ook nie sleg nie ), maar moet se dat op Makro vlak lyk dit nie goed in die Leeu streek nie.
Ons het gedink die nuwe liga ( Valke ; Leeus ; Luiperds ) sal sterker wees.
Marais Viljoen al reeds teen EG Jansen ontrek en Florida kon ook Saterdag net 8 spanne bymekaar skraap ( Slegs 2 oop spanne ). Krag ook nie wat dit moet wees by die spanne nie.
@Valke: Ja, lyk of boonste twee lyste se skole gedupliseer is. Werklike syfer is eintlik 21, dus “helfte” van Monnas 2e span (of squad) ook in. Kan nie stry dat hulle ‘n goeie span het vanjaar, maar is die Leeus regtig so dun gesaai aan talent onder ander skole? Eerste toets van effektiwiteit (nie regverdigheid) sal Leeus resultate op CW wees. Volgende toets seker maar volgende jaar en 2017 wanneer baie sterk Helpies 1e span verwag word.
Paar Monnas manne staan tog uit – een is Len Massyn. Hy was baie effektief in Glenwood wedstryd.
@knowthegame: Moenie werk op die skole soos hiebo genoem nie.
Lyk soos ‘n “copy – paste’ foutjie tussen die skole by CW en AW spanne.
Beet, maybe you would want to correct this in order to avoid confusion. You will see that the school represented is the same by number for these teams.
@BrotherBear: ek so viinig getel -29 Monnas in drie leeu spanne-so basis die hele 2 de span ook in.Ongelooflik-ek kan nie glo dat die tipe NEPOTISME net voort rol nie ma sien is glo-Kan net se ek voel jammer vir kinders wat nie in die regte skool is nie-is dit die 1 April vandag?
Congratulations to all players that will be representing the Lions. Hard luck to players who have not been so lucky. Hopefully you will be inspired to work even harder. 4X4 published a beautiful perspective related to school sports in the “Affies – Menlo” thread. Worth reading.
On a different tack – Can someone explain why the GK team is so heavily loaded with PD players and very few feature (7 of 44) in the Academy and Academy XV (unfortunately not published). Surely there must be a more even distribution of PD players in all teams if the talent is out there. I see Helpmekaar and Jeppe each have 5 players in GK, but Helpies thumped Jeppe 51-7 this weekend. Also see that Helpies only have 3 players (of 44) in u18 first two teams. Jeppe have 8, but Helpies comprehensively beat them them this past weekend. Yes individuals talent count, but then it should come through in results as well.
