[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 868067, member: 39190"] Kings will be hitting a down turn. Cronje, Cloete and Mapimpi aren't just exactly their three best players but two of them in critical positions and Mapimpi is just electric. I expect the Cheetahs to be one up from their SR form however; Rhule is overrated IMO. Mapimpi is more electric and despite Rhule's greater experience I don't rate his basics as having developed. Typical of us Stormers to sign over the hill wings from other unions rather than backing our own rising star who move off (we've signed Bjorn Basson at the end of his career FFS). Add to Mapimpi coming in the inclusion of Cecil Africa to the Cheetahs to offset a potential move from Petersen. Those are like for like replacements and IMO would rather lean towards an upgrade than a downgrade. Mohoje is also overrated IMO. Shouldn't have gotten a sniff for the Bokke. Their captain and VC have been retained. The Cheetahs were hamstrug with injuries during SR. Expect them to in at around that 3rd Conference A spot if I am any judge. They are at max points in Currie Cup at played 2, 2 bonus point wins against Sharks and WP. WP is a lot poorer side than SR (Stormers I mean) ATM but the Sharks aren't too far off their SR side.
