[QUOTE="saulan, post: 933431, member: 60236"] Highlanders Waratahs Crusaders Chiefs Sharks Lions Bulls Really disappointed to see how the Stormers started their season. Was hoping that the off-field stuff would not have an impact on the field, but clearly it has. You simply should not have that amount of talent on the field and have 37 points put on you. I saw News 24 reported that they haven't even confirmed their coaching staff for the season, it's insane. Really believe it's a case of the politics and backroom staff/union letting the players down. If this continues, I expect a mass exodus of experienced players after the season. To those not in the loop, the clubs in the union want to push for Pieter De Villiers and Paul Treu to take the key coaching and management roles in the team. This is a purely political move and has nothing to do with skill and experience. Nothing that PDV has done since he left the Springboks warrants him taking up such a role. Turning to this weekend, I cannot see them turning around the Bulls loss against the Lions. Yes the Lions are travelling back from Argentina, but none of the backroom Stormers issues have been resolved. Lions are also coming off a morale boosting win. [/QUOTE]
