John Smit compared the Sharks to a sports car without a gearbox while sternly assessing their struggling Vodacom URC campaign.Smit, who served the Sharks as player, captain and chief executive officer, was talking during a Vodacom URC media round table discussion as the tournament enters the last six rounds.
“As much as it pains me to say, the Sharks are on the bottom end of it,” Smit said. “They have a magnificent-looking team. It’s like walking through a parking lot and seeing a Ferrari, but as you peer through the window, it has no gearbox. That’s the reality. “Bottom of the log with that squad does beg for answers that all of us desperately want and I wish I had them. That’s a big part of my life and the Sharks badge is ingrained into my soul.
“The only way to address it is to accept that this URC campaign has been an absolute disaster. We have some great players coming in next season. Plum will have a full year of understanding what he’s got, who he’s going to let go, who he’s adding and will hope there’s some kind of realignment next year.”
