	Agree, hooker looking thin.... we need to either play our youngsters or find another bkc up to Jaco V, I saw Kerron Van Vuuren extended his contract at the sharks, i always thought he would be a good fit for Us.

	Wouldn't mind if we could sign someone like Joseph Dweba. I think he has a lot of potential.
	Go LIONS!!!!!

	Dweba would be phenomenal! he was schooled at Jeppe too, and born in Carletonville. so he is actually a born and bred lion.. think he might be too expensvie by now though.
