[QUOTE="Sparty, post: 380225, member: 43218"] What in the world is happening at the Stormers ???? For the second week running I found myself bored and frustrated to death watching the Stormers !! At least this time the game was NOT the last game of the weekend !! I said it then on FB and I will repeat it again now , I would rather we lose positively than win playing such utter crap. We have no direction and our gameplan seems to be hoping that the other team loses instead of us trying to win ! Once again we got our selections wrong ! Where is JJ Engelbreght and Lionel Cronje ? Why are they not starting ahead of Janjies and Poolman ? Janjies is not the same player and his injury seemed to have done greater mental harm than physical harm , he offers nothing in the counter and he shies from physical contact , all he has is a good boot which Lionel Cronje has more of anyway. Poolman I don’t know , he is young and inexperienced , why not play JJ ? He has been groomed the last 2 years and has a taste of Super rugby already. Then the question has to be asked , WHY RICKY ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? He was never your typical scrummie but unlike previous times we only see his weakness , gone are the sniping and aggressive runs around the fringes , age caught up. He is too slow , period. Devenhague , not necessary the long term solution is far better than Januarie and adequate at Super level.Anyways , here is my view on the team 15 - Janjies , weak game , positional play ok but that’s about the best one can say about him , he should go and play Vodacom cup to get some form and maybe see if he is still hungry and willing to risk his body. I would play Lionel Cronje or Aplon at 15. Cronje has the better boot anyways. 14 - Poolman , cannot really find much fault on his behalf except he is very green , saw little to convince me in 2 games that he is ready.
