    Would love to have Henoc back. All players are mercenaries, no use in pretending otherwise.

    I know nothing about agenting or managing a football team, but I wonder if he's waiting to be a midseason desperation signing.

    Well he'd only get paid half a season's worth of that contract- or whatever reduced percentage of games he actually plays so I don't think that's his plan at all.

    Why is it that there is a belief that players can just automatically transition from playing and become pro coaches? 

    I don't necessarily disagree but I think any good employee in any job should be able to train others to do so as well. By the time a guy reaches pro he has many years and many coaching styles to make use of to teach the next generation, besides DB coach isn't exactly the top of the coaching tree. Going coordinator or HC is a whole different story I think.

    ... if a third of the top picks leave for the NFL then why bother having one? All they become are wasted picks. Mulamba was a wasted pick. Four years & he may never come here. I still say open the draft to all players regardless of nationality. The ratio can stay the same but can the Neg Lists.

    So you believe that opening the Canadian draft to include American's will mean less draft picks lost to the NFL?

    The fact that an Etcheverry scheme couldn't fit a player like Bass in says a lot about Etch.

     

    Then again ... how did Ottawa, Saskatchewan and Edmonton all pass on this guy too?

    Some guys play great but practice average (Bass), some practice great but play poorly (Dropsome Collins)

    Jones is discarding what he believes are overpriced players and has confidence in his abilities and Murphy's abilities to actually go out and find players. Popp, Barker, Murhpy, Tillman and Paul Jones have all demonstrated the ability to find players the key to any team's success.

    Perhaps you need to be reminded that Tillman traded the best deep passer in the league for the worst then for good measure traded a first round pick for Brody McKnight among other brilliant moves. You're reading way too much Riderfan propaganda if you believe Tillman has any usable  skills.

    Well you can't force a guy to sign, but this is becoming all too common place for the Bombers. If Dressler goes elsewhere it's time for Wade to address what the F the problem is and why they can't land upper echelon players.

    So do you think Taman did it right when he signed Dressler at $240K and should therefore be considered a logical replacement for Walters if he fails to land each/every free agent deemed upper echelon? I can't agree with that.

    What can you point to to say the Eskimos bought that team?  When did the SMS start? I've seen people say they bought Grey Cups but no one every seems to provide evidence.

     

     

    The 80's were a while ago,has anyone ever given an example to support this or is it the usual jealousy turning fiction into fact?

    The irony of a Regina fan saying any team "bought cups" is so much larger than the word irony was ever meant to contain.

    This, for me is the most troubling aspect of O'Shea's tenure here- his inability to pick talent in both subordinates and players, It seems to even his in/ability to turf or bench people when it it clear that they are not good enough or a poor fit. I fear that we are in for of the same in 2016.

     

     

    Has he released anyone that turned out to be a star when another team picked them up?

    Who should be benched in favour of whom?

    Is the poor quality of player's and coach's (your assessment) O'shea's fault?
