[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 334205, member: 39190"] Personally I would love to see the Kings in a super series. The Eastern Province has been without a franchise for too long and their players always leave looking to get contracts with the bigger unions. They have the stadiums, the people love their rugby but it will take a lot of work. I'm not sure about a lopsided conference system but then again I'm not overly keen on the whole idea of conferences to begin with so, meh. If it needs to be at the expense of the Lions then so be it as that union looks unable to deal with core problems. They can't even beat the bloody Griquas in the Currie cup. Bulls are there to represent that part of the country anyway although it would feel strange not to have representation for the largest SA city.. well PE i the 3rd biggest in SA so that doesn't seem to be an issue. A for player depth, they would probably have to make big gestures towards overseas based players and start investing in some young blood asap. 2012/2013 is still a way off but if I had to put together a team now to prepare with some invitationals etc. it would probably look like this: 1 Daan Human (france) or Tendai Mtawarira (seeing limited gametime at the Sharks) 2 Schalk Brits (england) or Chiliboy Ralepelle (no gametime at the Bulls but a talented player) 3 Brian Mujati (england) 4 Wayne van Heerden (japan) or Marco Wentzel (england) 5 Shaun Sowerby (france) 6 Mpho Mbiyozo (SA 7s but had a good game against the B&I lions) 7 Joe van Niekerk (france) 8 Ernst Joubert (england) 9 Niel de Kock, Francois Hougaard, Conrad Hoffman, Jano Vermaak, Heini Adams (erm) 10 Ruan Pienaar (ireland) 11 Anyone of a million talented black wingers 12 Frans Steyn (france) 13 Juan de Jongh (WP just has too many talented centres) 14 Mzwandile Stick (SA 7s) 15 Tiger Mangweni (signed) 16 Wian du Preez (Ireland) 17 Siya Kolisi 18 Lungelo Payi 19 Sam Mabombo 20 Loui Schreuder 21 Johan Goosen 22 Craig Barry .. to develop young blood looking at 2013 [/QUOTE]
