Pat Howard signs for Munster

 
Big loss.

Rated this guy from the moment I saw him.

 Snapster you are dead right. It is incredibly annoying!!!Both these very talented players were shabily treated by Coetzee. Sooner the guy goes the better. Backs we have lost who at one time played for us  would include:De Kock, Duvenage (scrummie), JJ, du Plessis, Van der heever, Habana, Howard, Pollard, Whitehaed. Jaque Fourie, blondie fullback. I am sure to be missing names.The forwards lost are too numerous to mention.The loss of Pollard is a disaster. Howard will probably play for Ireland if he has a mind to.another very bad loss.Worst still the kbbs gloat if they beat any of our badly depleted teams!!!!
Re Ross it works like this - the parasitic bulle sign up Labuschagne and also have Spies coming back. Having done that Ross, a very useful player, wonders how much game time he will get. He decides to go. Meanwhile the Cheetahs are left without a star player. 
Well done greedy bulle!!!! They buy up so many players, more than they need, who dont get game time, dont develope as they should and eventually leave their careers harmed. 
Down with the bloated bulle cheque book rugby!SA rugbyb players be warened going to the bulle is a perilous choice. 
Dispite all their purchases the bulle are sub par and need really some brains at the top. Get in Brendon Venter, Rassie or Mallet and with their fianncial reso urces to buy players the bulle would be hard to stop.

 I'ts only a few month's deal to catch up on game time. He will be back at WP for SR next year.

Most Bulls supporters seem quite happy with the departure of Ross.

 It's a huge loss for us, Howard is  obviously one of the best SA outside centres with a lot of potential. 

I think Damian De Allende at 12 with Howard at 13 would of been a great centre combination in super rugby and would have possibly been the best centre paring in the Currie Cup.

It's a damn pity the coach Coetzee rates De Jongh above Howard. De Jongh is 88KGs Howard is 100KGs

Jerome, it looks like Howard will be back for the S15, not that useless Coetzee will select him  

 He is like players like Swiel. etc - on loan to Munster - and will be abck for Super 15.

 Similar deal to Swiel and then the guys playing in Japan like Kanko, Frans, JP etc.

We can live with that
