I don’t know how far some of the released players will get before the injured lists are composed..

SBTP - stay by the phone.

On their play.   ...and anyways does this move by Gaitor open a spot for the next man ?....who is gonna get an opportunity to play more because of this .....an maybe earn a spot next year ?

Neither Gaitor or Rios played last game, they have already been replaced by Maston and Nick Taylor on the roster.

What difference does it make why Gaitor is no longer here?  The back and forth on this is really pointless... He didn't want to be here, so piss off.

Anthony Gaitor went home to the U.S. during the #Bombers bye week, got engaged, and never returned to Winnipeg. https://twitter.com/DarrinBauming/status/1192532074520969216 …

Mike O’Shea says Anthony Gaitor is no longer with the team. The coach says he changed Gaitor’s “role,” and Gaitor turned it down. Peculiar situation. #Bombers

Gaitor is in the final year of a three-year contract with the #Bombers. For a high-end veteran, his base salary was a bargain at under 60k in 2019.

One of @PentonKirk's anonymous insiders in @TheAthletic recently said Gaitor was the best strongside linebacker in the CFL.

You wouldn’t have any affiliation with Harper’s Bizarre by any chance would you?

Hmm, wasn't this only the second year Gaitor has been here? I'm pretty sure it's not the "third".

Yeah, Bauming is messed up. 

The Bombers extended him last off-season, adding two years. He still had another year left.

I heard a radio interview with Penton a few months back and I could not believe how out of touch he was with the current CFL.  I'm guessing his insiders are somewhere between Knute Rockne and Jackie Parker.

Darring Bauming is such an idiot. And apparently can't research jack ****.

Has he been officially released?  I don't think he has, so the Bombers still have control.....  Maybe he can be moved for something in the off season.

According to the CFL transactions, he's still on the IR.

Bottom line is, O'Shea is the boss and it's his team. My only concern is that, in my view, Gaitor is a much better player than Rios, and we can't afford to not be playing our best players in the playoffs. If Rios plays in Gaitor's spot and gets lit up again by Bo, well.

No, O'Shea changed his position. I don't get it. I hope we don't get a dose of Rios and his terrible play. O'Shea's the boss. He must have his reasons.

Why do you keep mentioning Rios... this has nothing to do with Rios, who was benched after his poor game in Calgary.... Mercy Maston is the guy who has taken over the SAM position... and he played really well in the season finale...

Where's @Booch? Did he not like the role he was assigned?

Okay, I get it. Rios won't be playing. Thank goodness for that. He was really awful.

I'm not really sure what you're saying... According to the CFL transactions, nothing has been done to Gaitor yet. I assume they will suspend him prior to the WSF. They likely haven't had to do anything so far, since he was one-gamed for game 18.

But if you won't change your role when asked, I consider that "quiting". 

Maybe those wedding bells were just too much for Gaitor,,, honeymooning here or in Cal. just wasn't on so he called in sick

You would have cut our starting long snapper in order to keep Lalama on the roster? Okay.... 

Not to argue but apparently not.

Well, if her first name is Ali, she might have a bigger effect on him than anything O’Shea could muster up.

I'm not sure what you're saying. I asked who would you cut in order to keep Lalama and your response was Chad Rempel. What am I not understanding about you cutting our starting long snapper in order to keep a backup LB?
