Yes, nice possible signings but #1 priority for WP is a flyhalf. Goosen has about as much grit as a seals backside.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Boshoff or Potgieter there next year.

Matey, there are some nice young 10's coming through the ranks. We need a stop gap for a year or 2. If Goosen can stay fit, he might just do the trick. I won't mind Boshoff, but what Potgieter are you talking about?
11 Jun 2015, 21:27#4
Jacques-Louie.
Both he and Boshoff are clear second fiddle's but have flashed enough ability that WP may be interested in them as those stop gap solutions.
Just a hunch, but I don't see Goosen as a Smal type.

JLP...solid enough, but I'd rather play JLdP. Seriously, Affies boys don't fit in in CT most of the time. I know WP laaities has made Pretoria their home with success in recent times, but thoroughbred BB's just detest WP too much to play here with passion. ...I'd give it a pass.

We will need a fit Elstadt and Marcell will be a big boost. Maybe Smal can teach him to off load etc.Kebble, Bongi or perhaps a better hooker, Malherbe, Etzebeth, Du Toit, Marcell, Vermuelen and Elstadt. Whew that would be some pack.We desparately need a backline coach who understands the fundamentals. Perhaps Fleckie freed of Coetzee's selctions and intereference will show us what he can do? Otherwise we need a top class backline coach.
Goosen you are most welcome here. T hompson will be a nice addition.

Marcel Coetzee is not my choice for the Boks, in my view he lacks a top gear.....but he is a hell of a franchize player in the S15. I can't see why you would risk your funds on an injury prone player like Stephanie.....nor Hendricks, whose defence last week was pathetic.

H endricks is in a weak defensive set up. Perhaps playing here that deficiency wont be as pronounced.

Hendricks defense is a problem. Folau left him flat footed last week. But for that aspect (and his inability under the high ball) , he would be a shoo-in for the Boks, regardless of quota requirements, as he is probably the best finisher we have and can beat a defender one-up a good percentage of the time.

I agree Hendricks has major strengths & that he has major short-comings. He needs good coaching to realize his potential.

Ja, and both De Jongh and DeA are weak on defence. Throw in our miget back 3 and you have a desaster on defence...oh, wait, Stormers have the best defensive record in the last 4 years odd. WTF? Can't be!! Call the Police! Corruption! !! Fraud! !! WTF!!!
