Riders 8-2  Bombers 6-4

Bombers need a win if they hope to catch the Riders in the standings.

Will the Riders replace Lauther?

Trevor Harris took a beating in the Calgary game.  

Riders' secondary is also banged up.

Who will play receiver for the Bombers?

Will Schoen play?  Demski? Will Ontaria Wilson come back up North this week?

Is Houston getting into the line-up?

Wait until they see the morning big blue pick em poll! A bunch of die hard biased Bomber fans and 2/3’s of them are picking a Rider victory. 

I picked Riders mostly based on our injury situation. Having said that, I can absolutely see a world where Brady and the OL go off again. And Collaros always carries a giant bag of **** You's to hand out when he plays the Gappers...

I picked the Riders just because it's the LDC.  Even though we've turned things around lately at The Pas West (did Princess Auto acquire the naming rights out there too or is it still IGF West?), I still expect a loss and hope to be surprised with a win.

I always pick the Bombers regardless....save my doubts so forum yakking

Just crazy to think... If we sweep these two games we'll be 8-4 , tied with the gappers and we'll have the tie breaker.

I'm cautiously optimistic

Oddly enough we’ve taken 3/4 against the Riders, and we’re 4-4 since 2016 in the Labour Day classic after going over a decade without winning one. It feels more winnable then it used to in the mid 2000’s atleast. I’m never very worried about the banjobowl because we’ve almost always steam rolled the riders during those games.

Uh oh. Not all rainbows and cousin snugglin' in Riderville these days.....

Can we make the joke that Lauthers baby is going to be delivered to his neighbours driveway or would that be in poor taste?

Anybody else worried that Schoen is going to come back but he's been rushed and isn't quite right physically which is just going to cause more issues?

Is Kramdi out, if so whos replacing him?

Griffin could but I'd guess Makonzo comes off the 6 game IR after missing 10 games this season. He could be listed as the starter but fall into more of a rotational SAM initially.

This will always be the case, but I'm more worried about them doing it to Demski this week...

Guy who already did...Griffin....on roster tho possibly Makonzo

We don't need SAM as a Canadian spot to meet ratio...never have really

No we don't need a Canadian @ SAM but Makonzo when healthy could be a very good addition. It also allows Griffin to play multiple rotational roles that he is currently doing very well.  If it's up to me I'm sending Weitz back to the PR in order to add a Canadian to the AR. However we added Cobb already but that may have been a paper shuffle to keep PR roster within limits. I won't be surprised either way. If either of Kramdi or Demski don't play then there is room for those 2 changes on the AR regarding Canadians added.

I believe Cobb was added just on the premise that Demski was a possible GTD but I expect him to play.

Oh I agree...Makonzo is legit..and a better SAM than Kramdi

Griffin tho is our best and is doing great there

Weitz i agree is a pointless add...offers nothing but ST play and isnt exceptional at that either

I think Weitz will come off for Cobb.

Schoen, Cobb, Houston ON

Sterns, Weitz, Mitchell OFF

So a healthy Wheatfall and Clercius...Iffy Demski....Just back from an injury he shouldn't have been playing with already Schoen and Corcoran and Cobb?...good good what a flop and failure that group is if that the case

Id say hopefully since we basically are  relegated to it see Schoen for Mitchell....Echols for Sterns, Bailey for Weitz, Cobb for Thomas, Makonzo for Kramdi...Woods for Ayers..Houston for Lawson
