    Force captain Sharpe says side will prevail

    Captain Sharpe says side will prevail

    WESTERN Force captain Nathan Sharpe says the strength of the playing squad will pull the side through damaging internal fighting.


    As the John Mitchell coaching saga continues to unravel, the big second row said: "No one knows what's going to happen in the next few weeks. Mitch is there and we're there with him.''

    Speaking for the first time since the Mitchell affair surfaced, he said: "One thing about players at the Force is that we've always been very tight in hard situations - and we've had a few in the past few years.


    the rest from The Sunday Times....

    "Mitch is there and we're there with him."

    Sounds the goods to me.

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

    Well that seals it. Sharpie is the one player who wasn't on the list of 30 who can't work with Mitch.......as well as Drew, Gits and Shep.

    I wonder if anybody else will put their hand up for that position?

It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you!

    The captain has to stand by the coach and Sharpe is a good captain...

    A good Captain represents his players first, second and third before worrying about supporting his Coach or anyone else.

    Yeah, that happened at your mob when Nucifora was coach, ay Muddie? Now let me hazard a guess. You were just making a joke and I'm being obtuse.

    as a captain he represents the team first, a professional team which has sponsors and supporters. To come out and say something negative about your coach regardless of how you felt about him would damage the image of your side.

    IMHO that is by no means his primary concern but we'll have to agree to disagree on this one TOCC.
