Three stars extend Vodacom Bulls contracts
Three Vodacom Bulls stars extended their contracts with the Vodacom Bulls for another two years, the Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd confirmed on Wednesday. Rugby World Cup bronze medallist and Springbok scrumhalf Rudy Paige, Junior Springbok and utility back Warrick Gelant and upcoming midfield star Burger Odendaal all committed to the Vodacom Bulls till October 2018.
This was confirmed by BBC High Performance Manager, Xander Janse van Rensburg.
"There can be no doubt that these players are sought after and we are grateful that they committed to remain part of the #BullsFamily," Janse van Rensburg said.
"We are busy building something special with a new generation of players and I am very pleased to have these guys staying on to help us with that process. It is comforting to know that world class players like Rudy, Warrick and Burger see a future with us and is committed to help us achieve in our goals to become a special team."
Janse van Rensburg also confirmed two short term signings.
•Prop Hencus van Wyk will be part of the Vodacom Bulls till May. He is contracted in Japan, but a call will then be made if the contract will be extend or whether Van Wyk will return to his Japanese club duties. Van Wyk played in his second Vodacom Super Rugby match on the weekend, when he came on as a replacement in the season opener against DHL Stormers in Cape Town.
•Former Southern Kings and Cell C Sharks outside back SP Marais and the BBC also agreed to a two month contract pending a medical.
Marais opted out of an EP Kings contract recently and has just recovered from a knee injury. Should he be cleared, he will join the Vodacom Bulls player roster for at least the next two months. The fullback wing has 35 Vodacom Super Rugby caps to his name.
Paide sal moet sokkies optrek.
Nie so goeie nuus Hencus en SP Marais
Jy is reg Nitronic, standaarde het BAIE gedaal!
As ek BBRu was ek eerder my tyd en aandag spandeer om iemand soos Johan Goosen/Jeandre Kruger/Paul Willemse te kontrakteer!
Ek sien hier is alweer 'n paar lastige brommers op die blog wat beslis nie ondersteuners is nie. Kan ek vra, dat julle manne sal pastei vat en waai asseblief.
Indien jy nie positiewe opbouende kommentaar kan lewer nie, is jy net hier om moeilikheid te maak.
Die Bulle lyk vir my of hulle gaan sukkel die jaar. Al die ouens wat geloop het en uitgetree het, het 'n verskil gemaak. Maar ek glo Nollis moet 'n regverdige kans gegee word.
Groete, en sterkte vir die week vorentoe.

Net n vragie wat kan positief gese word dat ons nie lyk of ons n drie kan druk nie?
Wat van Thomas du Toit wat nou deur Sharks agter in die ry gesit is deur Coenie.
Marx van Leeus
Willemse en De Jager
Marnus Schoeman
Kry vir Hougies terug en nog 'n goeie losskakel.
Verder hou ek regtig waar duimvas vir SP Marais. Hy het 'n redelike kans gehad by die Sharks maar was nooit te waffers nie. Miskien kan die Bulle het met hom maak na die KINGS SALARIS debakel.
Die manne wat hier hier rondhang en kwaadstook van ander provinsies af: Voertsek hierso!!!!
I think he is way better than that Bulls...
