[QUOTE="rugby rulz, post: 996151, member: 40546"] This actually makes a lot of sense. I guess I was "overly emotional" because he chose to go to our Southern Rivals. But in hindsight, he has been up and down, as you pointed out, after having a lengthy injury run and never performed well on a consistent basis. Perhaps then, it is better for him to try and establish himself in a new environment. The same with Libbok. He never made the 10 jersey his own. I get that he played behind Pollard for most of last year and thus had n dip in form, but playing every game in last year's Currie Cup and the matches where he started at 10 this year, he has failed to impress. He only produced a couple of glimpses of what he can do, but they were few and scattered between far too many errors. I hope that Chris Smith is at the Bulls on a long term agreement and not just for Super Rugby. That should provide us with a good back up option for Morné Steyn for the time being. Agreed. Last year's u21 Fly half, Theo Boshoff, is definitely one for the future and should be involved with Jake's plans early on. Ironically, he is from the same school as Handré Pollard and he is a similar type of player. He isn't scared to attack the line, he distributes well and he has a very solid and accurate boot on him. Hopefully Jake can nurture and involve our Juniors. They were an incredible side last year so it isn't necessary to recruit too many outside players. [/QUOTE]
