Spent their wad on Williams.....and I don't think Harris would ever think of signing in the hated greenland in any event ....Dunk was drunk
I hope not, but I'm sure Rider fans never thought Dressler would sign here, either.

The most interesting fa receiver, imo, is Banks. Does he have anything left in the tank? Not sure I want it to be us who finds out, but I think it's interesting.

Ellingson is 33.
Meh, he was still good last season, and I'd bet he's got at least one more good season left in him.

Ha...they have to be...can't pay million bucks for 4 import receivers..especially with Cottoy prob making 100k too
And Rhymes is still on their roster...and not at league minimum
I think Rhymes signed for cheap last year. $85k or so, iirc. I remember being surprised when it was announced.
Ellingson, Walker, & Harris would all be >1k receivers in Winnipeg, imo.

Not sure about BCs strategy. They really need Rourke to be good, or this spending spree will be meaningless.
It seems crazy to me that Burnham will be their 3rd highest paid receiver.

Kito Poblah got mentioned in a thread, and it reminded me about this. He runs a winter travel team for jv and varsity age players. Don Burrell, another former Bomber, is the varsity team's head coach.
Just wondering if anybody has had a kid in this program, and if so what are your thoughts on it?

My low point as a Bomber fan came on the evening of September 27, 2013. As I sat alone in my section, watching some guy named Jason Boltus try to be a football player, I wondered if I was still able to do it. Could I still support what this once proud franchise had become? At that moment I never thought I'd live to see us win another Cup.
When we won last year, I didn't even know how to react. I celebrated way more this year. Last year was more like stunned silence. The nightmare was finally over.

Can anyone who has reservations/doubts about Augustine explain why?
I don't recall him being a great blocker, but that's about my only complaint so far. I thought he ran the ball well.
Imo, Harris' blocking and experience in knowing where to be as a safety outlet for the qb would be the two hardest things to replace if he got hurt.

I have never seen Schitt’s Creek and I am not a big binge watcher or streamer. The last episodic tv show I invested in on network TV was Big Bang Theory, and online it was Game of Thrones. So it got me wondering, what tv show (either network or online) have you never seen or barely watched that was seemingly very popular or that “everyone else” watched? I never had HBO so many of them I could only see later on Netflix and such and couldn’t be bothered to binge.
My short list would include Sopranos (seen snippets but never even a full episode), Breaking Bad (quit after one season on Netflix) and Arrested Development (not even one second of it), to name but 3 of many.
So what are others not watching that would surprise the general public?
I've only ever seen a handful of Big Bang Theory episodes. Way too sitcom-y for me. The laugh track is out of control.
I'd highly recommend you watch a few episodes of Arrested Development. That, along with Seinfeld & 30 Rock, are my three favourite sitcoms ever.

Hex was a no-brainer for that gig. He's awesome and should never have been let go in Phi. Major bonus for Pens fans is that Flyers fans will be CHAPPED that a legendary Flyer will now be with their most hated enemy.
Agreed. Too bad Tocchet isn't still coaching there.
-
Love it! If he's anything close to what he was his last season in Edmonton, he'll be one #1 receiver for sure.
-
Deleted. I just saw Mark H posted the same stat on the prior page.

His deal with Toronto was for $200k but he's classified as a rookie under the current CBA so he can only make the rookie max ($80k). He's not willing to play for that amount so it's doubtful we ever see him up here.
That's seems unfair. He would be ineligible to win ROTY, but they can still call him a rookie to keep his salary down.

Look at that centre group? Hahaha.
Texier is a good young player, but he shouldn't be a first line centre yet.

#Bombers announce the team has traded centre Cody Speller to Toronto, along with the 52nd overall selection in the 2021 CFL Draft, in exchange for the 48th overall pick. Speller was a pending free agent in a couple of weeks.

Gotta love our size and skill at centre now. PLD won't score like Laine, but it's not like we lack the talent to score without him.
PLD's all-around game is better than Laine's, and he plays a more important position. His fancy stats are very good too, for people who care about that.

so basically we are starting the season with Bryant, Desjarlais, Couture, Neufeld and Hardrick as starters, and have Gray, Eli, Kolankowski and possibly Speller (all who have starter experience) battling for the back up spots...how can you not be pleased with that?
I read somewhere that Speller is expected to go to Toronto. We still have very good depth, though.

I not get the Heinola love.
Not sure it's Heinola love as much as it's a desire to get Niku out of the lineup. Heinola looked much better last year, as an 18 year old, than Niku did this season. Small sample size for sure, but imo he deserves playing time more than Niku does.

Fajardo more than likely doesn't get a MOP nod based on his statistics if every Western teams' starting QBs don't all get hurt at some point during the 2019 season.
I 100% agree with this point. Plus Harris' drug test.

2017-Nichols 4472 passing ayrds, 28 TD passes, 8 Int
Just saying
Maybe I misunderstood the argument. I'm saying I'd rather have Fajardo now.
-
I would take Fajardo over Nichols. There's certainly no "Nichols derangement syndrome" for me. I liked him when he was here, and thought we could have won a Cup with him. He was never the beneficiary of defensive performances like Collaros got in the 2019 playoffs.
I know this is a Bomber board, but I'm surprised how many people don't just not like Fajardo, but think he's terrible. He had a very good season. Hopefully he's a one-hit wonder and doesn't do it again.
-
Move had to be made. Niku was terrible. He's so soft in our zone.

Lol, I loved watching him get smacked around in 2019.
