Bulls boss Jake White has confirmed that Kurt-Lee Arendse won't feature for them again this season, while admitting that he's none too pleased about it.

Bulls-baas Jake White het bevestig dat Kurt-Lee Arendse nie weer hierdie seisoen vir hulle sal speel nie, maar erken dat hy nie te tevrede daaroor is nie.

Umphathi weBulls, u-Jake White, uqinisekisile ukuba uKurt-Lee Arendse akazukuphinda adlale nabo kule sizini, ngelixa evuma ukuba akukho mntu uyithanda kakhulu loo nto.

Umqeqeshi wamaBulls, uJake White, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi uKurt-Lee Arendse ngeke aphinde abonakale kuzona kule sizini, kanti uvumile ukuthi akukho okumjabulisile.

The Bulls are mounting a strong finish to their URC campaign and look set to secure second place on the table, ensuring a home semi-final, but Arendse won't be joining the party.The Bok winger is currently plying his trade with Japanese club Mitsubishi Dynaboars, and while there were initial hopes that he would be able to return for the URC playoffs, that is no longer the case as the Dynoboars are set to be involved in a relegation battle at the end of the season.Arendse joined the Dynaboars on a short-term deal but is still contracted to the Bulls franchise.Asked about speedster's availability, White said: "I think the horse has bolted, there was a cut-off date and he won't be back to play for us."After being asked about the lack of Bulls backs featuring at the top of the statistics in the United Rugby Championship, which was not the case last season, White pointed to Arendse's absence and said that these kinds of deals were "very bad" for South African rugby."Those stats have changed because Kurt-Lee is overseas," White said."It's not good for South African rugby that the best players who make the line-breaks are playing all over the world and not for our franchises. It's a very bad thing."You build a guy and bring him to the club and make him who he is and then you don't have the luxury of having him when you need him the most and at the best time of his career."Unfortunately, that's going to happen more and more, and it's not something that I'm ever going to say 'ah well, let it be.'"It's very sad that we get to a stage where we talk about bringing players through, but our job is not about finding youngsters, paying their school fees by putting them in big games and then selling them or handing them over to other clubs to become rockstars. We are not in that industry."We are in coaching, we are in a country where winning and rugby are important. There is no good in that comment that the stats are different, the player that we had who used to do all those things isn't here and that's not through our design."

Die Bulle is besig om &#39;n sterk afsluiting van hul URC-veldtog te maak en lyk gereed om die tweede plek op die tabel te verseker, wat &#39;n tuishalfeindstryd verseker, maar Arendse sal nie by die partytjie aansluit nie. Die Bok-vleuel speel tans vir die Japannese klub Mitsubishi Dynaboars, en hoewel daar aanvanklike hoop was dat hy vir die URC-uitspeelwedstryde sou kon terugkeer, is dit nie meer die geval nie, aangesien die Dynoboars aan die einde van die seisoen in &#39;n relegasiestryd betrokke sal wees. Arendse het by die Dynaboars aangesluit op &#39;n korttermynkontrak, maar is steeds gekontrakteer met die Bulls-franchise. Toe hy gevra is oor die beskikbaarheid van die spoedperd, het White gesê: &quot;Ek dink die perd het weggehardloop, daar was &#39;n afsnydatum en hy sal nie terug wees om vir ons te speel nie.&quot; Nadat hy gevra is oor die gebrek aan Bulls-agterspelers wat bo-aan die statistieke in die United Rugby Championship verskyn het, wat nie die geval was verlede seisoen nie, het White na Arendse se afwesigheid gewys en gesê dat hierdie soort transaksies &quot;baie sleg&quot; vir Suid-Afrikaanse rugby is. “Daardie statistieke het verander omdat Kurt-Lee oorsee is,” het White gesê. &quot;Dit is nie goed vir Suid-Afrikaanse rugby dat die beste spelers wat die lynbreke maak, oor die hele wêreld speel en nie vir ons spanne nie. Dit is &#39;n baie slegte ding.&quot; “Jy bou ’n ou en bring hom na die klub en maak hom wie hy is, en dan het jy nie die luukse om hom te hê wanneer jy hom die nodigste het en op die beste tyd van sy loopbaan nie.” &quot;Ongelukkig gaan dit al hoe meer gebeur, en dis nie iets waaroor ek ooit gaan sê &#39;ag wel, laat dit so wees.&#39;&quot; &quot;Dis baie hartseer dat ons by &#39;n stadium kom waar ons praat oor die bevordering van spelers, maar ons werk gaan nie daaroor om jong spelers te vind, hul skoolgeld te betaal deur hulle in groot wedstryde te plaas en hulle dan te verkoop of aan ander klubs oor te gee om rocksterre te word nie. Ons is nie in daardie bedryf nie.&quot; &quot;Ons is in afrigting, ons is in &#39;n land waar wen en rugby belangrik is. Daar is geen nut in daardie opmerking dat die statistieke anders is nie, die speler wat ons gehad het wat al daardie dinge gedoen het, is nie hier nie en dit is nie deur ons ontwerp nie.&quot;

IiBulls zifikelela kumgca wokugqibela kwiphulo labo le-URC kwaye zijonge ukugcina indawo yesibini etafileni, ziqinisekisa umdlalo owandulela owamagqibela kankqoyi, kodwa u-Arendse akazukuzimanya neqela. I-winger yeBok okwangoku iqhuba urhwebo neklabhu yaseJapan iMitsubishi Dynaboars, kwaye ngelixa bekukho ithemba lokuqala lokuba izokwazi ukubuyela kumdlalo wokudlala we-URC, ayisenjalo njengoko iDynoboars izimisele ukubandakanyeka kumlo wokurhoxa ekupheleni kwesizini. U-Arendse ujoyine iDynaboars kwisivumelwano sexeshana kodwa usenekhontrakthi yeBulls. Ebuzwa ngokufumaneka kwe-speedster, uWhite uthe: “Ndicinga ukuba ihashe libolile, bekukho umhla wokunqunyanyiswa kwaye akazukuphinda adlalele thina.” Emva kokubuzwa ngokunqongophala kwabadlali basemva beBulls abadlala phezulu kukhuphiswano lwe-United Rugby Championship, nto leyo ebingenzeki kwisizini ephelileyo, uWhite ulathe ukungabikho kuka-Arendse wathi ezi zivumelwano zimbi kakhulu kumbhoxo waseMzantsi Afrika. “Ezo zibalo zitshintshile kuba uKurt-Lee uphesheya kweelwandle,” utshilo uWhite. “Ayilunganga kumdlalo wombhoxo waseMzantsi Afrika ukuba abona badlali badlala indima enkulu kumgca wokuphumla badlale kwihlabathi jikelele hayi kumaqela ethu, yinto embi kakhulu leyo. &quot;Uyakha umfana kwaye umzise kwiklabhu kwaye umenze ukuba anguye kwaye ke awunabo ubunewunewu bokuba naye xa umfuna kakhulu kwaye ngelona xesha lilungileyo lomsebenzi wakhe. &quot;Ngelishwa, oko kuya kwenzeka ngakumbi nangakumbi, kwaye akusiyo into endiya kuthi &#39;ah kakuhle, makube njalo.&#39; “Ibuhlungu kakhulu into yokuba sifikelele kwinqanaba lokuba sithethe ngokuzisa abadlali, kodwa umsebenzi wethu ayikokukhangela abantwana abatsha, sibabhatalele imali yesikolo ngokubafaka kwimidlalo emikhulu emva koko sibathengise okanye sibanikezele kwamanye amaqela ukuze babe yintshatsheli, asikho kweli shishini. &quot;Sisekuqeqesheni, sikwilizwe apho ukuphumelela kunye nombhoxo kubalulekile. Akukho nto intle kuloo ntetho yokuba izibalo zahlukile, umdlali ebesinaye ebesenza zonke ezo zinto akakho kwaye ayibanga ngoyilo lwethu.&quot;

AmaBulls afinyelela isiphetho esiqinile emkhankasweni wawo we-URC futhi abukeka ezokwazi ukuthola indawo yesibili etafuleni, aqinisekise owandulela owamanqamu ekhaya, kodwa u-Arendse ngeke ajoyine iqembu. Njengamanje lo mdlali wasesiswini weBok umatasatasa neqembu laseJapan iMitsubishi Dynaboars, kanti nakuba bekunamathemba okuqala okuthi angakwazi ukuphindela kuma-play-offs e-URC, lokho akusenjalo njengoba iDynoboars izoba yingxenye yempi yokudilikelwa yizembe ekupheleni kwesizini. U-Arendse ujoyine iDynaboars ngenkontileka yesikhashana kodwa usenenkontileka neBulls. Ebuzwa ngokutholakala kwe-speedster, uWhite uthe: “Ngicabanga ukuthi ihhashi selibhodlokile, bekunesikhathi esinqunyiwe futhi ngeke abuye azosidlalela. Ngemuva kokubuzwa ngokungabi bikho kwabadlali basemuva beBulls eqhwakele esicongweni se-United Rugby Championship, obekungenzeki ngesizini edlule, uWhite ukhombe ukungabi khona kuka-Arendse wathi lezi zivumelwano zimbi kakhulu ebholeni lombhoxo laseNingizimu Afrika. “Lezo zibalo sezishintshile ngoba uKurt-Lee uphesheya kwezilwandle,” kusho uWhite. “Akukuhle ebholeni lombhoxo laseNingizimu Afrika ukuthi abadlali abahamba phambili abafika ekhefini badlala umhlaba wonke hhayi ama-franchise ethu, yinto embi kakhulu. “Wakha umfana umlethe ekilabhini umenze abe yilokho ayikho bese ungenabo ubukhazikhazi bokuba naye ngesikhathi umdinga kakhulu nangesikhathi esihle kakhulu somsebenzi wakhe. &quot;Ngeshwa, lokho kuzokwenzeka kakhulu, futhi akuyona into engizoyisho ukuthi &#39;ah kahle, makube njalo.&#39; “Kuyadabukisa kakhulu ukuthi sifika esigabeni sokuthi sikhulume ngokuletha abadlali kodwa umsebenzi wethu akukhona ukuthi sithole abantu abasha, sibakhokhele imali yesikole ngokubafaka emidlalweni emikhulu bese sibadayisa noma sibanikeze amanye amakilabhu ukuze babe yizihlabani, asikho kulowo mkhakha. &quot;Siseqenjini lokuqeqesha, sisezweni lapho ukuwina kanye nebhola lombhoxo kubalulekile. Akukho okuhle kulokho kuphawula ukuthi izibalo zihlukile, umdlali ebesinaye obezenza zonke lezo zinto akekho futhi lokho akubangelwa wuhlelo lwethu.&quot;
