They still have Sims but they flipped him to the 6 game IR so he can get in shape.

Ti-Cats are Castillo's best bet for a starting job, they just cut Mandell, so that leaves them with Maher and maybe Hugh O'Neill who I couldn't locate on their roster, neither is known for their FG prowess. Pretty sure Ott. is set with Milo and the promising Ronnie Pfeffer.

My all-time favourite. Thank you!!!

I agree if they can trade Castillo great, if not offer him PR, if he doesn't accept PR then sayonara. It's not like they didn't cut other very good players who could have made an impact, it's just the nature of the roster limits. It comes down to Castillo taking up a space on the roster where another player would be of real value in rotation or backup. Bombers are paper thin at RB and having another back dressed for the game makes all kinds of sense for a multitude of reasons. Establishing and maintaining a good running attack should be a priority if the team wants to improve all aspects of it's offence. Harris is great, but even the great John Cornish always had someone waiting on the sidelines to help him out when needed. Ego be damned, it's a team game.

I think Mr. "Somewhere in Canada" is perfectly aware of what goes on in Riderfans and is probably an enthusiastic participant.

That's two import kickers, I'm wracking my brain but I can't recall that being done before.

Yes, so he officially "made the club from the tub."

I agree, I think it's a mistake not to have Flanders on the roster as he outperformed all other backs on the ground in both pre-season games and that includes Harris. They gave the backup job to Lochard without a single carry in either pre-season game, meanwhile Flanders will sit on the PR until Harris is injured or he rots.

First pro snaps, what do you expect?

I can't recall Castillo ever punting, when they brought him in last year it was to take over FG's.

So the D-line looks to be Westerman, Cummings, Shologan and Shayon Green as starters with Jake Thomas and Corney in rotation. Only other DL player on the roster is Sam Scott and I have no idea which position he plays.

Yah, not sure how Kris Adams makes the club when he never made it out of the tub. Also who the hell is Sam Scott penciled in for DL?

I don't know, it seems like overkill to keep a backup for Medlock on the roster, especially since Castillo is an import. Not only do they have 2 import kickers on the roster, neither is known as an elite punter.

Whaaaa??? I'd think. he should have been tradeable,

Link don't work.

Hopefully Butcher going back to school has been discussed and the two parties agree. I've read no reports confirming or denying that this is the plan. If I was finished with U and an employer told me to go back for one more year I would be none too pleased. In a case like this it depends largely on where Butcher stands in his academic achievements, I suppose he may be short on his degree and is anxious to finish it off which would be smart, or it could be that a cut, is just a cut. Hopefully O'Shea touches on this in his next presser. If it is a flat out cut cause "you're just not good enough for us and never will be", I'm shaking my head in disbelief at their utter blindness. Butcher is a rare physical specimen and a Natl., not something that comes along very often.

The answer is "what is Saskatchewan math" for 5 points Alex.

Would love to hear Wylie on the Coach's Show dealing with the call in crowd. They bite back.

Can that be done seamlessly so that no sticky fingers nab him?

Sorry, I should have specified Sask. farmers. Their wheat's no good and their women are dirty.

FB should see plenty of playing time this year helping out with the pass protection, Cronk seems to more noticeable than Normand.

Apparently opponent was Louie Richardson.

96+ years of failure should be bulldozed and paved over toot sweet. Edit: Bonus if the stands are full of weeping Rider fans when they do so.

Funny, over on the Riders forum, delusion is running wild, there is some consternation whether the last game ever played at Taylor Field will be their last regular season home game or whether it will be their "home playoff date". Apparently it's important that they say goodbye to the structure in some personal way. I can't purge the image of thousands of farmers in ball-caps waving "bye-bye" to a dilapidated structure as they slowly walk back to their cars burbling with tears in their eyes. You just can't make this **** up.
