 Although I have a lot of respect for Lambie, he is currently not showing attacking flair . Catrakillis appears more creative. He has a very good temprament winning the Currie Cup for WP.  There is nothing much lambie can do that the Cat doesnt do.  Great drop to win the game.

Lambie has tto lift his game and is under pressure from the CAT.

Great win from the Kings.

Hope ou Alistair realises his extreme folly!

Catrakillis is a quality player and deserves a Bok squad spot. But you are wrong about him showing more creativity than Lambie, for Cat is not being creative as it were.

 

He does all the basics well, has a great boot on him and the perfect temperament for a 10. He is not being more creative than Lambie though - neither have really shown creativity.

 

Great win for the Kings, plenty of guts and spirit in that side. I still struggle to see why they do not start with Engelbrecht at 8. I also thought it was a strange move replacing the prop and hooker at halftime, given the Kings scrum was dominating.......the scrum then struggled in the second half.

 

Young Sergal Petersen seems to have lost his mojo, he should be looking for more work

 snapster Petersen is a flawed player - plenty of pace but no clout. Yes some strange decisions re the kings. Kings at least have the ability to score tries but lets see how many the score against SA opposition.

Reds the kiwis are deathly silent. Worries me a bit as I know how hard they take it. Lets be as supportive as possible and remind them that they did win one match. Hahahahha

However the best win of the week has to have been the Force klapping the wee crusties. Expect Kaplan to get stick.

It all depend on the measure of what you consider progress, i wouldn't regard him as the best current flyhalf in SA yet. The drop kick was well executed although the majority of flyhalfs would easily slot it in from that range, he still has alot to accomplish as a player, its questionable whether he can mantain his good form. In comparison with Lambie i rate Catrakilis more creative and is also more consistent, to a extent both are average flyhalfs but have potential to be better. Lambie is certainly not the best, his strategic tactical kicking is not beneficial, he is now very hesitant to attack the gainline and fails to do so, however goal kicking is not a issue.
