[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 339927, member: 64443"] This rumour came up a few months ago, but just seemed a little to sudden and strange to be considered truthful in the slightest, but the rumour has re-surfaced more regurlarly now to make it worthwhile John Smit to join Lions for 2011. Smit's contract with the Sharks ends this year, and it is becoming more believable that he might join a team with less competition (not that it is likely he will miss out on the WRC next year anyways), allowing him to work on his own game and form, without the risk of being dropped. The Sharks have offered him a contract though, but negotiations will only continue most likely after the Bok training camp/rest period. JP to the Lions, Bulls JP's contract also runs out at the end of this year, and he has been linked with the teams mentioned above. However, he would want to score as many tries as possible leading up to the WC, and needless to say the Sharks would provide more than the Lions. Where-as a move to the Bulls looks even less likely, with wings Gerhard van de Heever and Houggard sure to provide stiff competition, where-as at the Sharks he only faces the not-so-mighty Odwa Ndungane More Lions news... The Lions have also been linked with Butch James, BJ Botha, Ryan Kankowski and one or two other over-seas based players [/QUOTE]
