They seriously couldn't find anyone to release?

Injured olineman Kendall Randolph had be re-added to the roster. The Bombers transferred Castillo to the suspended list to make room for him.

344 is definitely on the high end for the CFL. I think he'll end up playing at 335 but he sure looks like a pro to me already. He started in both guard and both tackle spots at University of Buffalo. That says to me that he can pick things up pretty quickly. With his size and strength and the fact that he is in camp with the Bombers in year one, I'm baffled as to how he dropped to 17th overall. He started almost 40 games at a Div 1 FBS school. I don't want to get too excited but this is looking like a total steal of a pick.

He was 344 at the combine. it is for the cfl. Neufeld is 310 and 6’6.

Is pigrome even playing football? Didn’t Ottawa release him a long time ago? That ship has obviously sailed.

I think what @Booch may be trying to argue is that MOS is slow/reluctant to allow younger americans to get on the roster/get a shot over american vets who have been here for awhile or who may need to be replaced. Yes, some 1st years have started but its been in cases of open competition to replace guys. Schoen when we had an open receiving spot and he won the competition Alford and Nichols when we had two open spots because Sayles and Rose had both left for the NFL. Strevy because Matty was hurt.

I think you're talking in circles here, man. Of course they earned their spots. There are always circumstances which dictate when guys are given their first opportunities.

Watching the rest of the game. I'd like to see Barriere get one quarter... not sure if it's going to happen though. Late in the 2nd half he looked "better" and overall it was a bad showing but he didn't look completely useless like a Boltus or a Brink from back in the day. I think it was a lot of just bad nerves. Wilson looked far more ready after he settled down and from what I saw we need not Pigromes or someone else air lifted to the city asap. Lots of fast moving guys on D, I'm very anxious/excited to see who they keep and if any of these guys can be the next all star to play for the team for a few seasons.

The Americans you're using would've been on the roster and starting regardless.

It was hard to tell, both defensive halfbacks looked to be in the area. I think Bane lined up as the closet slot on the boundary side.

I held back.

I don't think Wallace was 344, when drafted. You also have to remember he's 6'5, so 330lbs isn't a bad weight.

A clown of ass

Tell us how you really feel about Mullinder? 🙂

pretty bang on assesment....that was putrid all around back to the game....has to be less than encouraging watching that as a Rider Coach/Management and realizing....wow...we have a ton of work to do

Mullinder adds absolutely nothing to the broadcast... literally only there to verbally fellate the rider players. There's no insight just so and so having a great camp, a player that I actually really like, great call by coach!

Mullinder is an absolute assclown, always has been. He is nothing but a loudmouth Rider shill jagoff. The guy makes Ballsy seem rational and level headed. Cannot stand the sight/sound of him.

Mid-season form. Impressive.

Riders took something like 9 penalties for 110+ yards. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Watched most of the game but maybe not fully paying attention at times. 3 stars 1. Streveler. 7 of 8 for 65 yards. Trucked a few guys. Looked just fine. 2. Tie. I liked all of garbut rivers and even schmekel. They were all solid and noticeable. 3. Moses. Gemmel. Petrichien??? Whatever his name was. Those guys were flying out there. I’ll add one more for pre season. 4. Wilson. Once he settled down (didn’t take that long for a pure rookie) he looked like he has some legit cfl staring potential down the line. You could almost see the game slowing down for him as he got more reps. as for the ones who sucked. really just Barry eh.

They actually have a thread on RF.com praising the 2…… I had to turn on CJOB mid way through the second. Just couldn’t listen to them mumble about, call out incorrect penalties, incorrect names and the shrieking every time a Rider made a play. I get that they are Rider Broadcasters but at least show a bit if non bias. That’s the biggest thing I miss about Knuckles.

Just an awful showing by their almost starting lineups for the first quarter and a half. Embarrassing really given that we were playing our scrubs.

Fixed it for ya … 😁

I would tend to agree. But the thing is without Barry ehs picks… they just kicked fg against our rookies. You gotta think they wouldn’t be as happy as Mullinder was. Riders O did eff all really.

Riders played that one to win. Bombers played to get a look at some guys.
