[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 869947, member: 39190"] This should be a bigger test. I was surprised by the scoreline at PE. I really didn't expect a win by more than 10 or less. There is still a lot of room for improvement as well. Everything considered I am happy enough for the team to go ahead as is and have players join the squad piecemeal rather than en masse. I'm still calling for Rhule to get cut in favor of Lleyds or Combrinck, Lleyds being my preference. He is just not interested in making any sort of tackle actually bac tracking as opposition run at him. In chasing down Landajo he should've backed his pace for the ball rather than a weak attempt at body blocking Landajo himself. Had his weak challenge on Landajo been successful we'd probably have seen yellow and a penalty try and rightly so. He has pace and is a decent finisher but its just frustrating that we have to accept his glaring weaknesses whilst there are more complete players playing Currie Cup. OnCronje being injured I see Vermaak has been called up. That begs the question who will get into the match day squad. If you take the assumed status quo ITO call up and game time for the Bokke it reads Hougaard > Paige > Vermaak. My own feeling is it should read Vermaak > Hougaard > Paige. My Stormers bias? [/QUOTE]
