why is this place so quiet??


Even Saffolk has gone quiet.

Is there not enough rugby action?

Feb 27, 2025, 11:16

Been like that for a while

How about another Erasmus or PSDT fight? It seems to pep things up and cause more traffic :)


As always you have a lot of viewers but only the few of us that actually take the time to post ??


Either it’s not exciting enough or people just don’t have the time with everyday life going on.

It will perk up again come test season. Not much going on at the moment.

I was hoping to be raving about Ruan Venter but he's had two relatively quite games and not living up to the hype. I maintain that the lions aren't using hi correctly. He barely ever gets front foot ball to smash onwards, while that's actually his strength. Over the last two games there were countless opportunities where the Lions were on the oppo try line with rucks set up, but the ball to Venter just never comes.


And I miss Hannekom.


Jordan Hendrikse is proving to be superior to Manie. I think we'll see a lot of him this season for the Boks.


Ethan Hooker is looking like the form back at the moment, but I like him for 12. What I do know is that the combination of Henco/Hooker for the Boks is currently the highest rugby IQ combo the Boks could choose in midfield for the future. Both are 23 now and could be primed for the next WC. It's time for DDA and Am to start warming the bench for the younger guys. I still like Moodie for 13, but he's only been a touch above average this season.


I also think that the captaincy should just go straight to Hannekom, if not Marx. With Willemse taking on responsibilities in the backline.


Yes, I do think that Hannekom has been absolutely sensational this season, and we'll be talking about him a lot over the next decade. He might be the overall best payer in SA at the moment. If he plays half as well he's still twice as good as any of the other 8s.


Not everybody watches all the games, and highlights packages only show so much, but you can take it from myself and Pakie, Hannas in demon.

The Bulls look like half a team without Hanekom.

He gives me Captain America vibes...
