Now,now gents lets play nicely!!!lol, 2015 promises to be a huge year, for WP lots of talent at school and under 19 level. Hosting CW next year also!! WP can pick a Super Team just from there Elite Squad, so exciting times i think
@kwartlyn: Jy kan rustig slaap, nie ‘n rugby-pappie nie en ook nie ‘n afrigter nie. Andersins is Jy reg, bitter min tussen die ore en ‘n groot bek. Kyk wel redelik baie skolerugby die afgelope paar dekades, maar leer graag van die regte pappies, ooms, boeties, kwasi-afrigters, kenners en keurders, Poepsak.
@maroon8: Stem met jou ou ploegie het defnitief niks tussen die ore, maar wel n mond vol. Ek hoop van harte hy is slegs n ouer want as hy iets met afrigting te doen het kry ek werklik die jong seuns jammer.
@Scrum5: I don’t have an issue with this player or any player for that matter moving from WP and certainly did not indicate that in my reply to Muzi. Players choose to stay or move, for whatever reason, and if players move it’s not the end of the world. WP have a few good props in the system for 2015 anyway, so if they can keep them, they will be ok. But if I get my way, they won’t stay.
@Ploegskaar.WP went out of their way to keep Gavin van den Berg.A big contract was offered to him as well as ample time for him to make his decision.Gavin also had a scholar contract since Gr 10 and received pocket money from WP up to Matric.WP’s Director of Rugby even had a discussion with him and his family personally.Why don’t we shift the focus to why 2 Bulls SA Schools players left the Bulls for WP.
@maroon8: Ek bepaal my by wat ek wil, soos dit my geval en beslis nie waneer dit jou pas nie. Die ander faktore wat jy noem is ek van bewus en is nie eens nodig om na te verwys nie. As jy spelers van jongs af gereeld sien speel het jy ‘n redelike profiel van hul vermoee. Die speler is gewis talentvol, maar geen speler stap volmaak uit skool uit nie, daar’s werk op en van die veld vir almal, en dit kos hope harde werk en deursettingsvermoee om dit te maak. Indien dit met hom die geval is, sal hy dit maak.
@Ploegskaar: Bepaal jou by goed waarvan jy kennis dra. Die seun het nie jou twakpratery nodig in sy vakansie nie. Dit is ‘n feit dat hy gaan studeer en rugby speel en WP kon hom nie dieselfde of beter aanbied nie. En dan is daar ander faktore waarvan jy gladnie bewus is of weet nie. Dil lyk my dis eerder jy wat bietjie breinkrag tekort skiet tussen die ore “more importantly between the ears”..hou vakansie ou
Add to this, the players that are going to the WP Rugby Academy in Tokai, and they have a big pool of players to choose from.
There are a couple of KZN players going there. Wayne Smith, Nathan Meilon and Jordan Martin from Westville. I heard that the St Charles hooker and a prop from Northwood are also going.
@Muzi: You are of course aware of his history down here and that WP did not make a serious effort to keep him? All the best to him though, he certainly has the attributes/attitude of a Bulls player, but lot’s of hard work ahead with conditioning, technique and more importantly between the ears.
@Muzi: Not all are on contract.
Looking forward to watching Keyter progress through the ranks – really great young full back.
Once again, too many tight five forwards recruited, most of them are going to be let down by not getting any game time – talent should be spread out more
Michael Kumbirai for Gavin Van Den Berg ..and they said WP is keeping all their talented players after Pollard signed for the Bulls smh.
44 players ..good riddance if they were all going to PTA everyone would be bitching nonstop hell half of them will not even smell the green grass at newlands rugby stadium.
Some seriously talented players in this squad !
Unfortunately not everyone will get playing time, but the 30 odd that will play, will be very competitive.
Interesting to see how many players from abroad are in the squad.
