Hopefully they spend a part of that money on a few players that will get them the cup that has eluded them for years. They are the ONLY team in SA that are worth turning the TV on for. If you want dour boring rugby then watch the Bulls. If you want running rugby without any defence thence watch the Lions. If you want to feel sorry for a team then watch the Cheetahs. If you want to enjoy a proper match where there is 80 minutes of action then watch the Stormers and finally if you want to watch comedy and want to spend an afternoon laughing then watch the Sharks

I think WP were smart in getting him and had every intention of letting him go for a price...they scratched each others backs...WP and EJ...
made him more appealing to the English... :whistle:

WP need every cent, as with most provinces in SA they are financially in the kak.

Jones faces a baptimism of fire when he plays Scotland at Murrayfield in his first match

I hope they use that 21mil, and sign over John Smit, and Gary Gould LOL. Will be massive signings............................For the Sharks that is lol...

WP have a history of buying over the hill Bulls players....lets hope that doesnt happen again....i wouldnt like to see signings like Derrick Hougaard, morne steyn or zane kirchner to name a few hahaha

This is great news for the Stormers now once HM is released from his SA contract, he can go coach the Stormers
Its like Christmas in November for the Stormers most loyal fan Chicken N Chips

Newlands will be empty if he takes over. Maybe Hm can join up with that brilliant partnership you have at the Sharks namely Smit and Gold. Now imagine that. All pulling in different directions which will be a joy to see as the Sharks will spiral to the bottom of the Super 18,(who would have thought that rugby would place finance above quality) ladder.
