How impotent is the Stormers front row

How arrogant were the Reds at the half

How lazy is JP Pietersen

How poor is the Sharks  kick chase

How invisible is JJ Engelbrecht

How injury prone is Goosen

How butter fingered is Lood near the line

How dumb is Liebenburg

How strong is de Jongh...how strong is Mapoe

How shrewd is Victor Matfield

How powerful is the Steyn boot

How brave is Faf de Klerk

How accurate is Boshoff

How impregnable is Willem Alberts

How ill advised is Quade Cooper

How elusive is Aplon


The answer to all these questions is "very"

 The answer to the above is really ridiculous - since the questions in most cases have  no substance at all and is in many ways seriously misleading.
Take a few of those.  The Stormers front row had the upper hand until they were subbed and while Liebenberg was present.   The question is consequently vague and seriously misleading.
How lazy is Pietersen?   Is that brought on by his reluctance to chase after aimless kicks that was way too far ahead to be effectively followed up and only resulted in even better return kicks?   
Kick chase - same as the above re Pietersen.  The kicks were either aimless and too far ahead to be effectively followed up - so what is wrong here bar a very questionable question?
Injury prone Goosen - you dramatically announced after the first four games that Goosen was injured.  He twisted his ankle while going after a ball and was replaced - but this was really the first injury he had this year - not all the others who you preached about this year.   same happened to Franco van der Merwe - so is he injury prone as well?  Bullshot really baffles brain in this case.
One incident and suddenly Lood - who had an excellent game otherwise - is condemned as being butter-fingered.   Find another appropriate reason to criticize a player - not a ridiculous question based on one incident in a game when defenders were all over the player.   
Victor Mattfield's shrewdness consists of calling line outs - any lock can do that if he knows the strengths of his own line out players and those of the opposition.   
The Steyn boot is powerful at kicking at goal - but the rest of his kicks are aimless and useless.  The question should have been "How powerful is the Steyn boot t kicking at goal over a long distance"
How impregnable is Alberts?   Again a seriously misleading question.  In a tight game the Bulls loosies made 28 tackles - missing one.  The Sharks made 14 tackles missing 4.   Alberts own role was making a very low tackle count of making 5 tackles - missing one.   He was not there to make the tackles - so how impregnable is his defense?
De Jongh and Mapoe came on and each did one good thing of consequence - now the answer is "very".   One-incident jerk raising his head again?

LMAO,
funny thread, :oP

@mikey,
stormers front row have been kak against the hurricanes, crusaders, chiefs and now brumbies.
against the reds next week, i doubt it will be any different.

i was against vermeulen at lock when that idea was floating around, but now im starting to think its not such a bad idea after all, locks provide the bulk of the power at scrum time.

obviously they need lady elizabeth back ASAP, cos if stormers get owned by NZ and OZ teams, what kind of massacre are the saffa teams going to unleash????
