[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1009315, member: 39190"] Makes it interesting at least LOL. I mean, its not like this means anything- not really. Had a look at the results and see the margin in the Bulls-Stormers match wa 39-6!! That's huge. If it was something a little more modest, say 19-11 that'd be 50 less points differential we would have had to make up. I for one am happy with the Stormers season though. I said the game vs the Cheetahs will be the one that makes or breaks it for me and it totally made it IMO. Sharks if we could manage it would be icing. We certainly have a lot of room for improvement still but Gelant has continued being excellent at 15 for us. Him and Willemse and Jantjies and Willemse look like they form a very dangerous set of key combinations. Willemse has settled more and more from game to game. With Gelant there it also takes pressure off of Willemse and he now has the confidence that yes, he is our 1st choice 10 and seen as an out-and-out 10. Our pack has always been solid. I still feel we are a tad light in the locks but with PSDT and kolisi set to return that will be offset a tad. Main issue long term for us looking ahead at the Pro series is our squad is not that deep. Injuries could hurt us big time. It is BS that the Stormers only have 2 games at home and 4 on the road and then the Bulls get 4 at home and only have to travel twice. In particular it was huge that the Bulls hosted us in our only match. Both teams look a lot better at home than on the road. If the Bulls do get a forced tie I will see that as levelling what is otherwise an unfair playing field ;P [/QUOTE]
