Was never really impressed by him in the games I saw him playing, The Cheetahs were looking for a 12 - but is he really good enough?

Jean beating him had nothing to do with a one on one miss, it was a good line run by Jean that had Venter off balance. Venter is a quality 12 and we will see that at the Cheetahs. I rate him highly

I read the article and must say that from a carer perspective Venter did the right thing. The Bulls are notoriously bad in center development. They ruined Sadie and Venter was given virtually no chances to play - partly due to injury
I think Serfontein would benefit from moving to another franchise as well - he would be allowed to play his natural game and not turned into a battering ram - like the Bulls tried with him in a few games he played in..
Maybe the problem is playing next to Morne Steyn can be a severe handicap. Steyn played a shocker against the Stormers for instance. It is very hard to perform adequately under such circumstances.
I think Saffex always had a good opinion of Venter and under proper management and coaching he could become a top player - something he would never achieve at he Bulls.

To complete the Cheetahs side, they need to find a No 5 lock, a 6 and a wing. Move Willie to 15 and find a wing. Well they do have one in Senatla, the Baby Bok and 7's flyer. Sadly they have lost Brussouw at 6.
This is an impressive Cheetahs side:
15. Willie 14. Senatla 13. Sadie 12. F.Venter 11. Rhule 10. Goosen 9. v/Zyl 1. Nkanyane 2. Strauss 3. Coenie 4. de Jager 5. AN Other 6. AN Other 7. Labascagne 8. v/d Walt......they have some depth in Sarel, Smit, Lindeque, Adriaanse, Rossouw de Klerk and Prinsloo

Saffex
I wrote something similar a few days ago. They need a few players to back up the squad. I would say they need another wing/full back, they have obtained Lindeque and Venter so that would help. another two locks, and at least one loosie.
If they strengthen up those positions - they would be awesome next year when Goosen is back.
