"While the Sharks have confirmed the departure of a Springbok, the Bulls look to have landed the signature of one, with Curwin Bosch’s return to South Africa reportedly completed."


Eish, I don't know about this. He never really impressed me that much but I'm sure Akker has a plan.


You think they wanna get a snappy 10 to unlock the backs?


As much as people don't like him, I'd have tried to sign Jordan Hendrikse. Still think he's a bit underrated but I think he'd have slotted in well at the edit(Bulls) and he's also still pretty young.

I can't even remember him being a Bok. Haven't seen him play since he was in SA (and can't remember much of that) so I have no idea about his merits. I see he plays in the second division French competition. Akker die Rakker will know what's up I'm sure. I see he is only 28, thought the dude was close to retirement by now. Time has really become abstract or my mind just isn't keeping up anymore. They might be looking at a more runny 10 yes, Pollard won't be around much longer.


Jordan will probably be a better player in the Bulls structures than at the Sharks. He has potential but he's so erratic at the Sharks. Who isn't though, amirite?

Ja, I'll maar put my faith in Akker on this one.


Curwin was never more than a middle of the road chappie in my book. I have him down as a worse version of Manie but maybe he surprises us.

Poor man's Willemse... versatility without the size...good player, maybe he can mature nicely under Acker's eye...lots of miles to go on that clock.

I think the Bulls defos have a the bux and rep to have signed Jordan. The one thing he brings more than anything else is a huge boot. I think only Sacha has similar range.


So it's interesting that Akker has gone for a lightweight Manie type.


I suppose, when you think about it, Akker has Jooste, Seb, Moodie, Devon, Embrose, Arendse...so perhaps he's looking for a guy to unlock those chaps.


He needs a new 12 though. Poor old Stokke is on his last twigs.
