Very very interesting. Happy to have acquired Banks, who can hopefully make a positive change on our defence..... I am assuming that there will be a new contract for Banks though? If he was unwilling to play out his option for BC, I would think we need a new contract to get him to play here?

I think the assumption is that Willy would be willing to come here. I get that you should want an opportunity to start, but if you make decent money, and are comfortable where you are, why would you leave? Bomber Fan perspective: Willy would be a fool to not want to come here and be the starter. Riders Fan perspective: Why would Willy want to leave the Riders... we just won the Cup, and he is a solid backup for Durant should anything happen. It sucks that we didn't sign Collaros, but everyone has the ability to choose where they go once they are a FA. Can't fault a guy for choosing a situation that he believes is best for him.

Sportsnet lists Pontbriand as having 6 carries for 61 yards last year.... is that right?

Be Competitive. Be Well Coached. Put forth a consistent effort every game. Hopefully Wins will follow.

"Hulking"..... ok. I don't really get why you would mention size in the tweet.... Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed tiny running back Charles Roberts..... I am sure that would have gone over great back in the day had Twitter existed.

Very intriguing hire. Happy to hear the Bombers making a hire.

This thread has spiralled out of control. Miles or Marshall. Not Jones, Mack, the Draft etc. I hate to be that guy, but I want to read opinions about Miles or Marshall in a thread titled as such.

Goodbye: - Blank stares by the head coach, acting stupid, like he shouldn't be the one responsible for this frigging mess. - Hopefully goodbye to penalties by our team on the very first play of the game. Welcome: - Coach O'Shea and the intensity, accountability, and passion that I hope he and his staff will bring.

Interesting read.

Go with Miles. We have started pretty much from scratch by giving a lot of guys their first cracks, so why not have a rookie DC who could turn some heads.

You think BC is set up for success? I sure don't. I'm not saying its going to be easy, but there is more to work with there in BC in terms of QB, and you need a good QB to be successful.

Go into a situation in flux (WPG), or a situation that is pretty setup for success (BC)? Which would you pick? Good luck Khari!

Perhaps a little from column A, a little from column B

YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would rather we let one of our prospect kickers give it a go for an entire season.

I will believe it when I am watching a Kyle Walters press conference announcing it. Until then it is just rumors, same as Khari for OC is a done deal.

Watson, Etienne, Poblah, Carter, Foster? Aprile and Alli possibly. Not awesome, but I wouldn't say the cupboard is bare at all.

Perhaps it was already talked about, ie. Kohlert not wanting/willing to resign here, and that would be why he was left open. Poblah better step it up. Etienne I want to see good things out of.

Figure Etienne is a sure re-sign now.

Kohlert.... I friggin knew it !

Wasn't Eppelle #1 or #2 overall a couple years ago?

Must really really speak to the level of our unprotected NI depth..... bleah.

So far, we are really unscathed in all this. Surprised at the logic of these picks though, as others have said, really all over the place.

Joe Eppelle? Really?

I guess Kohlert and Swiston. Not buying the whole "not selecting Free-Agents" thing. Volny to me isn't a must have. OL, and REC is where they need to stock up if there is anything there.
