Lo nyaka iPirates ibibheke ukuthi ibhiyozele ukuhlanganisa iminyaka engu-80 yasungulwa ngokunqoba izindebe. Nokho ayikwazanga ukunqoba ezimbili ezikhona kuPSL, iMTN 8 neTelkom njengoba isisele kweyeNedbank. Izinto azihamba nakahle kuligi njengoba iqembu liqede ngaphandle kweTop 8, okusho ukuthi ngeke idlale kuMTN 8 ngesizini ezayo.
