Will wait to see full extent of Nichols injury before making any moves. #wfp If Nichols is out for the season and they know it, this is not a game of musical chairs the Bombers can afford to show up late for.

True enough. The west will be hard to climb back into the mix if any team falls too far behind early. Is there word on when his condition will be known?

I would too except it's Kavis running the show over there so anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thing is, if Nichols is out for any length of time, do they not need something anyway? If your back-up gets hurt, are we going in with our 3rd stinger? Getting Glenn in here would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely exploring all angles....Maybe the injury isn't season ending and we just need a 'gap guy' for now...Best not let another club know how desperate we are (if we are) and set something up this weekend...If it's only a stop gap measure then deal accordingly But wouldn't it be great to find out we have another star in this league...namely Streveler...I always try to look at the bright side during adversity...and wouldn't it be great if we find out we have another Riley under our nose Edited June 7, 2018 by Stickem Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but a lot of that has to do with opportunity. Most teams don’t give young QBs a chance unless they have no choice. I’m not saying that Steveler will be a star and instantly succeed but he’s easily the most talented QB prospect we’ve had in years and this is arguably the best offence this team has seen since the early 00s.

Don't remember it being 5 years...He came up the leos ranks quite rapidly as I recall and then was deemed too good to sit as a back-up and dealt to the schmoes..In any case Nichols isn't going anywhere soon and the next guy will rise....Let's hope we have him in our midst now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a meniscus injury - a tear severe enough that it requires surgery. At this point, we're not going to know anything more than it's a knee injury but all things considered .. we dodged a bit of a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 The nice thing is we only play Edmonton once and zero games against Sask and Calgary during his absence. We gotta win against Montreal, Hamilton once, and BC once and we will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2L Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Really wish we had a bye in there. As it stand now, if he misses six weeks from today, that’s a full six games including two against the lions which could give them a tiebreaker. Luckily, three of the other games are eastern opponents, and no other doubles. If we’re going with who we have in-house, I say let the young kid with the upside run with it and don’t yank him. Give him immense game reps and regardless of our record when Nichols returns, Streveler will be in a good position to back him up down the line.

Yeah i agree.. I was just commenting on how the poster had said at least 4-6 weeks. I'm not sure who had said "at least"., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
