With the World Cup around the corner and our current genius coaches attitude towards our flyhalfs, one wonders who should have been in the mix?
Here are the fly halves they picked for the squad.
Pollard - Out of form and Injured
Jantjies - Abysmal form, injured and doesn't show the team values that the boks ask of players
Willemse - Been moonlighting as a full back come centre, originally a flyhallf but very similar to Jantjies in that his players don't know what he is thinking
Goosen - Been out for most of the season and haven't played for nine months due to ACL injury
Frans Steyn - Never was a flyhallf even though he has been tried there several times. His best position was probably 15 or 12. 36, not sure what he will add
Willie Le Roux - Often the 2nd flyhallf and the most creative bok player, but not sure who will own the kicking duties.
Looking further down the pecking order, I don't see any other players who can fill the void.
Manie Libbok, best 10 this year in the URC, but also have a very poor and telling stat against him. Ball lost in contact. Hightest in the comp, so for the all the good he does, not sure if this cancels him out
Morne Steyn has retired and probably only good for URC at best and now more of a backup flyhallf
Curwin Bosh, for all of his talent, he simply haven't set the world alight. Was forced to move to full back when Robert Du Preez was at the sharks, came good in one season but last season the sharks were a complete mess in the backline.
Christ Smit, doesn't set the world alight, kicks well but bulls backline got a back stagnant once Goosen got injured, that said, did improve over the season and the bulls reached the finals.
Hendrikse, still not convince about the older brother of Jaden, has a great boot, can run a bit but it is a very poos lions side.
The only other player that is coming back up is
Robert Du Preez. Put in a good shift for Sale this weekend. However, been playing at 13 last season. So can be versatile, but not my favourite backline player. Comes accross very slow, kicking is okay and distribution is there about.
What do you guys think should be done with our flyhavles?
