Cassie Posted February 25, 2014 Share I'm out of the country, CassieDidn't watch. As you state it, they're better be more dynamic than what you describe to to avoid the relegation scene. Don't think it will ever come to that!! But they will just not be performing like they used to...it's all about building a new team at the moment...blooding the new youngsters...but it's a painful road ahead for us supporters!!

Shebeen Posted February 25, 2014 Share Dale, I am afraid they now go into a very rough tour after the Canes match. They have had to hit the ground running but they already started with a big faceplant. Unless they change their gameplan quick they will have a very rough year. Losing first game in a season is not normally the end of your season, BUT i think in this case the stormers are f@#$ed. They probably have the hardest tour in superrugby history, and will have to do something special there to ensure they are not out of the running so early. Last season they won 5 on the trot to finish, but it wasn't enough. back to the tour of hell:crusaders(4th - blues away)chiefs(1st - bye)brumbies(3rd - waratahs home)Reds(5th - lions away) in brackets is log position from the previous year, and the opponent's previous week's fixture. The only positive in that schedule is final game against the reds, where hopefully they get a bit of a pasting by the sharks and lions in the republic(yup they only do 2 week tours). You can probably add on another week to the tour, since they play the waratahs at newlands the first week back - who travel all the way from durban. As for the easy games, well the two teams they don't play this year the blues and the rebels finished 10th and 12th on last year's log. So I'm not holding much hope for my stormers this year, and it sounds like I didn't miss much by not watching the game. I caught a bit of the saders/chiefs on friday and that was a spectacle. Of course I'll still support them, even if they do play like total ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose this week they wont make the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted February 25, 2014 Share C'mon, Stormers fans...True loyalty to the jersey means to support them even if they have no game plan. Hehee Think it will be a Stormers team with a different attitude running onto the field this Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-Zulu Posted February 25, 2014 Share Maybe the Stormers pull off a comeback like the Proteas did?I was at JHB airport on Sunday <returned from a business trip>, Schalk Burger and Steven Kitshoff were loitering in domestic departures looking like death...I thought, good grief what happened last night, rushed to Exclusive Books... I hope you're right Fabes...they honestly looked dejected and best of all, all the hot chicks walked past them without even passing a look...

nickc Posted February 25, 2014 Share here's hoping, bud!!! But i'm I little fed up with the management/coaching staff... :cursing: Every season the Sharks have lost a whole bunch of games before finally getting going and they always ended up making it to at least the last four - with the exception of last year - 22 injured players. Yes this year they have won the first two but its a long, long season and anything can and will happen so I would not be too worried about the Stormers yet. Most of the teams are just finding their feet at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
