[QUOTE="Sparty, post: 378582, member: 43218"] Hi Guys , Been a long sabbatical for me the last few months but I am happy to be back in the swing of things , my 2 cents or maybe 200 cents re the Stormers game After much waiting the Stormers finally got their campaign going with the very last game of week 2 !!!! First off who at WP union agreed to this crap schedule ?? OMG why why could we not have played the game earlier first ? I am sure the guys wanted to get going after our Bye last week. Now to the game , boy was I bitterly dissapointed , not the result but the manner how we played. We had firstly too many greenies for a debut game and one in a very importatnt position !! Here is a rundown of how I saw it. 15 - Janjies seems to have lost a yard and it seems as if the horrific injury suffered left just as much mental scars as physical. He offers little to nothing currently. 14 - Poolman ?? Just Who is this kid ? Talented in some games for club maybe but found wanting very wanting at S15. Cant hardly blame him though , he was thrown to the wolves , Why coul d they not play De Jongh as well on the wing ?? Or where is JJ ? 13 - The self proclaimed worlds greatest centre was okay , nothing great but he did some ok things 12 - Like Fourie he was okay , thought De Jongh looked much better when he came on though for Fourie 11 - Honestly seriously Habana can gerus eff off now , he offers niks , nothing. I am gatvol of him playing on rep , just like last year he seems to hold back and someone needs to tell hom that he is here to do a job , not loaf !!!!! 10 - Why why why not Edgar Watts ?
