    They helped us win trophies

    These are the very same players who helped us win silverware, and they can still help us win more because of experience - Tuna Modisakeng

    Ndah will win his spot back

    Tapelo Xoki is injured, Shandu has never fully recovered from his last injury, Ndah will win his spot back, Mabasa and Radiopane must fight - Khayalami Legitian Hlophe

    Loan Radiopane to Stellies or Gallants

    Radiopane is still young; he needs to go to a club where he will get more minutes. We can loan him for another season to a team like Stellies or Marumo Gallants -  Farell Mushaphi

    Mabasa is a finisher, he can't press

    Mabasa is truly a finisher, but something people have to know now is that our coach is using a different philosophy and formation. When playing with a low block team, it's minus one player when playing Mabasa. He can't drop and mark, he can't press - Anavo Darla 

  • Boitumelo Radiopane, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    Radiopane didn't use the chances he got

    Radio was given a chance earlier this season, but I guess he couldn’t bring his DDC and NFD spark with him. Mabasa needs to be more clinical. Out of 20 chances, he can score nine, but for Shandu, competition is tough. Ndah needs a few minutes so that we can test him - Siyanda Mthetwa

  • Tapelo Xoki, Orlando Pirates, August 2025Orlando Pirates

    Xoki must remain at Bucs until the end of the season

    Radiopane needs to be loaned to Siwelele. Ndah will have a game time now. Xoki must remain a Buccaneer until the end of the season, and then, he will see what is good for him. Mabasa must also remain a Pirates striker -Sikhosana Linda 

  • Olisa Ndah, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    Let Ndah leave if he gets injured again

    Boitumelo Radiopane needs one more loan spell to a team where he will play and prove himself. Tapelo Xoki can go. As for Olisa Ndah if he has recovered, then he needs minutes. If he gets injured again, then they should let him leave at the end of the season, not now. Cover is needed to replace Mbekezeli Mbokazi -  Oscar Divhani Ndou

    Big mistake if Pirates release Mabasa

    It will be a big mistake if Pirates release Mabasa. You can't let the goalscoring machine leave your team. As for pressing claims by the coach, there is no need to do that as his team has running players the whole pitch - Monde Manyamalala

  • Abdeslam Ouaddou, Orlando Pirates, December 2025Backpage

    Wadu out, Mokwena in?

    They don't need to move. Abdeslam Ouaddou needs to move. Rhulani Mokwena in! - Masixole Phoenix 

  • Tshegofatso Mabasa, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    Mabasa's job is to score goals

    Mabasa's job is to score goals, he does that better than any striker we have at Pirates, but now we have a coach who tells us that a striker's job is to press and not to score - Shado Thabiso
