[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 413092, member: 39190"] Mostly agree: [B]1 Dean Greyling [/B]- started noticing him around the 1/2 way mark and its almost good Steenkamp got injured for him to come through as a great option. He murdered us in our last outing against the Bulls. [B]2 'Bus'marck [/B]- Lots of hookers had good seasons, Strauss and Botha in particular; Cheetahs really missed Strauss and while Fourie had a few memorable games he still needs some work on the basics. Bismarck at 3/4 form still takes it I agree. [B]3 Werner Kruger[/B] - I'm 50/50 here but feel that Kruger edges it with his work at the breakdown [B]4 Rynhardt Elstadt[/B] - Looked promising at the start of the season with Van Zyl injured and didn't look back. Beat out some tough competition for the no. 4 jersey. [B]5 Andries Bekker [/B]- Wilhelm Steenkamp had limited time and Matfield only started playing towards the end of the tournament. [B]6 Keegan Daniel [/B]- The pick of the fetchers with Brussow out. [B]7 Schalk Burger[/B] - He was just too consistantly bustling not to include here. Ashley Johson slipped too many tackles for me. [B]8 Duane Vermeulen[/B] - Such a pity he is all but out of RWC running. Josh Strauss the other contender IMO. [B]9 Sarel Pretorius[/B] - Joint top scorrer and he created almost tries and line-breaks as he took himself. I don't agree with his teammates making up for his defensive frailties though; 4 Cheetahs players are in the top 10 for missed tackles; him, the Ebersohn twins and Ashley Johnson. That leaves BIG holes all over the place. [B]10 Patrick Lambie[/B] - May the Gods be kind and have this kid play as a starter for SA. If not at 10 then at least at 15. [B]11 Gio Aplon[/B] - Consistantly dangerous. Probably I'm biased because Basson also had a good season. [B]12 Doppies LaGrange [/B]- Has had great seasons for a while now but never seems to come into the reckoning. [B]13 Jaque Fourie[/B] - Has been his hard tackling, line busting self consistently. [B]14 JP Pietersen[/B] - the form wing in SA. Keep it up! [B]15 Riaan Viljoen[/B] - the big miss ITO of Sringbok selection; he has it all. I just hope he'll stick around and get his calling after this RWC. I wouldn't say so; my picks for the 3N/RWC would look markedly different than who I felt were on form. Du Preez will drag us to another ***le all on his own. If he's not fit, the other reasons are Pienaar and Hougaard. Debatable I guess but these guys make pretty good arguments and have the experience over Pretorius. [/QUOTE]
