I get what you're saying but we are told ad nauseum that professional sport is business and in the business world the literature, the major thought leaders stress to stop running your organizations like you're family with one another because that's not how high performing organizations effectively run.

If you're a good football player or a good athlete with potential and you live in LRSD, it seems you end up at Dakota. Whether they blatantly recruit, don't know.

And I just checked, lost on the finals to the other league super team! Dakota!

Everyone has a shelf life for sure. Wolitarsky's salary was not bad though. Our depth of Canadians on O is pretty bleak so even if we got 9-10 games out of him would have been worth it IMO. We're Nic Demski waking up with a stiff neck away from starting a 2025 5th round pick at slot.

That news about Ted sucks.

Like it or not Canadian players form the nucleus of most teams, they are the continuous thread that passes on knowledge of the game and team culture to new arrivals year after year. The good ones are hard to find, but once a team signs them they tend to hold onto them as long as possible, even if they only play ST. Americans players come and go as they're a more common commodity, most last 2-3 years before being replaced or moving on to other teams. There are exceptions like Willie, Stan and Biggie who recognize the benefit of staying in one place and take advantage of the opportunity to bond with the community, but most Imports don't ever achieve that status. O'Shea is a fan of stability, so he tends to hold onto all of his players longer than most and create a family atmosphere that actually includes families, it's difficult to view that practice as being a negative.

Same as any other sport in that age range up.

You'd be surprised by the ego of youth football coaches/parents.

That's not good, what's the point?

Cause as much as many don't wanna agree or believe it....Osh favors the Canadian player....and a lot of time it's not for the better of the team...but it butter's his own bun just fine tho

and dark socks halfway up the calves with shorts....I see someone doing that I wanna kick em in the face....there's a lot of people I wanna kick in the face....particularly in the gym

Oak Park scored 346 points in 7 games in the 2024 regular season and had zero points scored against them 😭

How many high schools did you o to that you can't remember where he subbed at? lol I actually think Suitor is perfectly fine... as long as it's not a Riders game I agree... but that mullet has to go... mullets "coming back" is officially the worst trend that has ever happened.... socks and sandals being a close second

So Dakota, Oak Park, St Paul's and Grant Park?

Bombers don't have an ability to just hide every Manitoba player. Sask has way more participation. Their high school leagues are better at ensuring more schools can compete. Our Winnipeg league is built on what the top 4-6 programs want and they don't really care if that means 24 programs can exist in those conditions or if doing something a bit different means 36 schools could run programs. Midget league was killed by WHSFL so better make sure everyone who wants to can play ball.

give it 5 years

It isn't, kid has tremendous upside.

Spotted today on a toilet at Kilter.

Terrible news just as he gets a GM job

I was really surprised we pulled the trigger on that one. When I heard Wolitarsky wasn't coming back, I assumed he was done with football. Clercius looked really good last year... Hoping that continues into this year. I see him developing into that really clutch second down type receiver who you can count on to make the play.

So for me moving from woogie to clercius is just identifying a young guy who is quickly surpassing the vet and moving on... which is what good teams do.... so what the **** is the excuse on defense at a couple positions?

I don't know, sound to me like mostly lip service, O'Shea brings in local players, praises them highly then usually kicks them out the door after TC never to be heard from again. Heck of a lot more young Sask. players developing throughout the league than there are coming out of Manitoba. Kornelson is the only young Manitoba player on the team right now that might develop into a CFL player, the Bombers are putting money into local football, but the end results don't seem to be materializing.
