Its pretty sweet when only 6 players aren't internationals...and the likes of Kockott, Deysel and Daniel all future springboks...and Brad Barritt would be too if he wasn't pissing of to Saracens at the end of the season...gonna be A HUGE LOSS

Earl Rose was presented with a Sharks jersey and a behind the scenes man of the match award...

He may be a dumb ass but still works.

:smiley36: Methinks thou doth talketh much crap. :smiley36:

The log I'm looking at tells me that the Sharks are on top, and will finish on top if they win their remaining game.

Top of the Currie Cup log with most wins in 2008, Top of the S14 log 2007, with home final, and 3rd in the S14 2008 log, losing in a semi doesn't spell under-achievement to me.

A few stumbling blocks on the way, I'll give you that, but underachieving, nah.

Rose snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory on saturday.

Eddy, buddy, for the number of times the Sharks have made it to the final albeit a super 14 or a Currie Cup you guys are like the All Blacks - you cant finish your seasons off even with massive sides like the one that played this weekend with 16 men! Agreed?
