Jake has turned Montpellier into the latest Rugby destination for South Africans and Australians. He fired 19 players - including Meisiekind (Wynantjie), but refrained from doing a Sharks a favour by taking over his pal - Fransie.
He also took Paul Willemse is going over from Grenoble.
Who is Paul Williams?
I take it you mean Paul Willemse?
I know young Sharks number 9, Wright has joined and the du Plessis brothers are meant to be going, even though they don't like Jake......but for them its the end of the careers and the money no doubt negates their feelings towards Jake the snake
Waaahahahahahahahahaha.....the same tired old Sharks story. Daniels was right, it's Jake's fault Esterhuizen is slower than a bus with a flat tyre.....Paul Williams is a former Bools lock.
The fact is Jake took the Sharks much further than their talent should have taken them.....and since he left, starting with the CC, they imploded.
Actually Jake had all the players at his disposal unlike the average Gold who's squad has been running at 60% all season.
Big difference, Jake would have done no better with Gold's squad right now.
As for Esterhuizen being so slow, I somehow doubt that is the case given he started on the wing last week.
Moz get your eyes tested man.
As for Jake, he plays boring kicking rugby......look no further than the thrashing the Saders handed out to the Sharks in last years semi......modern rugby my arse
If Esterhuizen was that slow, would he have started on the wing a week ago?
Case closed as they say......unless slow is a prerequisite for wing play these days????????????
Well Seb given his average Bok record and the fact that leading up to the WC, his record was so poor that he was on the verge of the boot, I fail to see what the fuss is about when it comes to Jake as a coach.
Lets face it, he needed Eddie Jones to save him in the WC, coupled with a talented group of players and an easy ride to the final.
Jake was never a great coach, average at best......marginally better than PDV but not as good as Mallett, McIntosh and Kitch.....not even close.
That club is likely to be French club Montpellier, where former Springbok and Sharks coach Jake White is at the helm.
The brothers’ agent, Gerrie Swart, told The Mercury newspaper that their move will be “out of South Africa”.
Swart said playing for another South African franchise was never a consideration. He said their likely destination would be Montpellier as that is the only club he’s been in contact with. Swart, though, admitted that “paperwork has not been fully attended to”.
It is well-documented that the brothers’ relationship with White was not the best and according to The Mercury, they wanted to get out of their commitment with Montpellier (a deposit of €150 000 per player had reportedly been paid to them) once they heard White had become coach of the French club."
Another proof of Jake White's poor relationship with the majority of players in the Sharks squad - so everything I wrote is rubbish and the BS fairy tales of the sleaziest liars are true. White ostracized most players and allowed Steyn to cuddle up to him. Major problem and that is a fact.
White has contracted a number of players from SA - but he did not contract Steyn. The reason is plain and simple - the players would not sign up with Steyn in the same club and no French Club would have Steyn - because of his past history with Racing Metro.
Your hero is unwelcome and not a team player - end of story.
