Waiting List
1. Sam
2. pullthestrings
3. Bathite

Great home page sje. Can we make sure that someone with the name bathite never plays in our league. They are unbearable as fans !!

Someone is showing off with their computer skills with this homepage! Mat agree with you, got to keep people called bathite out of this league, they are almost as bad as Gloucester fans...

Remember watching Wasps v Gloucester a fair few years ago and sat next to this 20+ stone, bald headed cherry and white and for 80 minutes all I heard was 'Gllllaaaaaaaaaaaawwsteer, Gllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwsteer' - the only time he stopped for breath was to shout at Dallagio 'You whine more that a boeing 747' - he then laughed for a good couple of minutes before the chanting started again.

Them cidre drinkers are very simple folk...

Looks like im going to have to change my name! Worrying to hear that Bath fans have such a bad rep!

Chris you are right, that glos 'chant' is dreadful, but what do you expect from the shed heads!

Its called usng the quote button and finding a few pics Chris
That is the worst chant in rugby. The Munster boys have the same one for themselves! You get a cracking head ache from listening to that in the Limerick accent but great laughs!

Bathite dont worry about Matt hes a big cuddly teady bear at heart! He loves all things Bath!

Did anyone watch the ITM Cup games today?

Am just watching the Northland vs. Tasman game. Ranger playing at outside centre and a great kick through from him for a try for Northland.

Lions vs. Pumas Currie Cup game was dross, ITM Cup is always much better entertainment and standard IMO.

Nope saw the highlights on SSN

Watching the province game now

Province game is better than last night.

The CC game I watched last night was some of the worst rugby I think I've ever seen

I didn't watch it to the end it was that bad bad Steve.

Sloppy 3 points to concede early doors though from province , van Aswegen seems to be one for the future bossing the game really well.

big charge from Brok Harris!

I didn't give it long. Some good players playing for Lions in Grobblaar and Vermakk but it was just garbage.

I fancy the winner of Sharks - Bulls later to win the Currie cup. Going with my gut feeling of Sharks though.

The Sharks are the Champions and will want to get off to a good start at home.

Northland play some fantastic flowing rugby. Ranger so dangerous at 13 for them.

I'd forgotten that he can play there, might have a look at him or Toeava there next week.

The likes of Treblance , Daniel , Marius Joubert and Micilak should see them take it by 12 points.

Van Der Heever needs to have a big game or he might as well start looking for a french division 2 club along with Ndungane on the other side. Kruger also has a big point to prove at the set piece.

Am just sorting out the Heino/Amlin cup page and there are two ways of doing the pools to work out who will be in each.

Now I know how the two ways will make the pools look, so in the interests of fairness somebody please pick number 1 or 2 and I will go with whichever is the first that is picked.

Ta.

2 it is. Update to follow.

European homepage is half done...

(Amlin bit to follow tomorrow)

Anybody watching the Sharks? Great game going on , Freddie looks a class above every one else.

Keegan Daniel is fantastic at 8.

I am impressed by marshall Coetzee at 7

Sharks pack has completely smashed the Bulls in the contact. Bulls like the commentary said making a lot of tackles can see the last 20 minutes being a points fest for sharks.

Keegan Daniel having a blinder.

So tempting to bid for him. Will be turning into Matt with Centres and Wing's soon just cant resist signing a good backrower

Coatezee is only 20 years old! Such soft hands from Daniel in the loose.

Good game, Daniel playing well, good to see Kruger getting a good game under his belt too.

Looks like Donald's move to Bath has fallen through:

http://www.superxv.com/news/super15_rugby_news.asp?id=31187

Big blow for them , Wonder who they'll sign on such short notice.

Dare i say Henson......

They're leaving it late, guess they're going to have to pay serious wedge out either way....Michelak?

Could sign him from September to March on loan from the Sharks as i can't imagine there willing to part with there star signing.

I think Barkley will return to fill the 10 jersey if they don't find someone soon wouldn't be surprised if Twelvetrees Flip Falcons off next week and headed to the rec.

Contepomi would of been great for them if his Stade move fell through.

If they go with Barkley at 10 they'll struggle, he's much more suited to midfield. Similar with 36 really...I bet there's some serious work going on at Bath

Is 36 definatley goin upto the Falcons then? Surprised Leicester would let hi go.

Bath have the money to tempt someone over. If not will have to be Barkley. Wont be complaining myself if it is handy bench option covering 10/12 for me

I'm moving to 10 full time this year away from that wretched back row yuk!

So i should be invited down to Bath anytime soon lol , mind you with my gammy right foot i should have no problem fitting in with the 10 can't kick goals ethos at Bath lol


SJE ,

One of the coachs at Seaton Carew is involved with the Falcons recruitment so that's how i hear about the deals and apparently it's more of a loan than for 2 years to give him some game time at 12/10. Mind you Tom Catterick should finally nail down the 15 shirt this season with any luck with Tait shifting over to the wing.

Reckon the team next year will be

1.Golding
2.Thompson
3.Murrey
4.Van Der
5.Hudson
6.Mark wilson
7.Pennycook
8.Hogg
9.Pasqualin
10.Jimmy
11.Alex Tait
12.36
13.Shortland
14.Fielden
15.Manning

Catterick , Welch , Helleur and Joe Graham breaking in as the season goes on.

That certainly hinders Sale's chances of getting a decent 10. Bath will sniff around for any 10 like the desperate bloke looking for the pull at last call

Fair enough mate. Could do him wonders if he gets the game time at 12. Should really be kept away from 10 now unless absolutly needed.

Not a fan of that backrow at all. Falcons could well struggle this year with the likes of Sale, Wasps really improving. Worcester although not great have some decent operators at premiership level. Will be a fairly close battle between the two of them

Will Sale get a 10 though? Diamond has said he was in for a 10, then he wasnt now he is. McLeod did an alright job there when needed last year, Lavea is a decent standard and should do alright while Rob Miller really needs to satrt getting some gametime. Wasnt so long ago he was being seen as a future international but not done alot since going to Sale

He says theres a fly half, a centre and a full back to come.

Whether they come or not is another matter

Hes been a very busy man hasnt he during the offseason!

Have you seen the link up between Leeds and Sale? Part of the Fourie deal. Most of the Sale academy boys are being dual registered with Leeds for next season. Thornley the 1st to go with Mark Jennings looking like going wih a few more of the Jets boys. The A league is shortened next year so a great link up for the Sale boys but very short sighted by Leeds for me

Suggests they are set for yoyoing between the leagues

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw it to be honest Steve mate. If the likes of Thornley and Jennings have a good year in the championship dont see Sale wanted to let them go the following year. Be great for Jennings who is a real talent. Had a great year for the Jets very versatile but looks a great 13 in the make

I could see the benefit of Leeds making that deal with Leicester, who have real depth and could benefit from having there players playing in the prem if Leeds are there

But any Sale player who is good enough to play prem rugby will be at Sale for the foreseeable future

Definately mate very short term thinking on Leeds part. Seems they have accepted that they will yoyo between the two leagues and are fairly happy to accept that for now. Its a shame that not every club has the drive of say Exeter. Look at the work they have put in over the last few years. Have come up now and stayed there dont expect them going down next year

Amlin part of the Euro homepage is now updated.

Just watching the Sharks vs. Bulls game from earlier, 15 minutes in and Botha is having a shocker throwing in at the lineout so far.

I'v only seen the first 40 Pete and the Bulls looked poor , Sky+ the second half and hoping to watch it later on.

Sharks back row was on fire , Kruger was solid probably would have looked better if Botha wasn't having a nightmare at the set piece.

Botha is normally mr reliable, just shows that anyone can have an off day.

Am still watching it Driver, 10 minutes to go, not been over impressed with Kruger to be honest, but at least he is getting some time out on the pitch now, sure his performances will improve as the competition goes on.

Sharks back row have been very good.

The young lad Coetzee making his debut looks a very promising player indeed.

Coetzee really impressed me. One on my radar.

Although SA arent losing many backrowers to Europe next season

Probably helped him having 2 Super XV players alongside him in the back row though. Will see how he gets on as the season progresses.

Watching Wellington vs. Taranaki in the ITM now, and Andrew Hore has started of with some poor darts. What is going on with these hookers today?!?!?

I may have asked this before but will we receiving the full batch of injuries during the World Cup or will there be none or just a few.

Ordered Rugby League Live the other day. Pining for a rugby game to play on my xbox. Any League fans amongst us?? Follow St.Helens and the National side quite keenly

I think from conversation with driver that there will be no injuries during the world Cup period, as it could absolutely kill a couple of teams if there was.

I watch League Steve. Don't particularly follow any team as such, but watch it when there is no Union on.

Coetzee left a good impression on me , seems to be in the same mold as Matt Todd pops up in the loose and links play up very well.

Think he won't make the S15 squad for a while yet especially with Deysel and Alberts both in front of him for the Blindside jersey.
