B-F-F-C Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 This is playing out exactly as I thought. Henoc is very close to his family and I think the opportunity to play in front of his famy is hugely important to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBlink Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'm still hoping he comes back here but would not be surprised if he decided to play elsewhere. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoochylde Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 @garylawless: Expect Muamba to fetch a six-figure signing bonus and a 3-year deal north of 200 k per season #cfl #bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I just don't know if the payoff is worth the investment. Yes he's good but there are also Americans that are just as good who will play for half the price. We just have to go out and find one. The other $100,000 can be used elsewhere. bustamente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely understand where you are coming from (and agree to an extent) but the unfortunate reality, this is going to be the cost of acquiring a ratio breaking Canadian. We are a team that starts a NI at MLB, in that context it makes sense to spend and put the best possible NI in that position. Logan007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-F-F-C Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Sounds like his agent is on damage control. Don't want to make it look like its a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a meet and greet according to @garylawless. #CFL Puh-lease. He goes there, sees the new stadium and feels the love. Is he going anywhere else? He's serious about Hamilton and this will put it over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoochylde Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 In the end, it won't come down to money. I have every belief that Walters will match any offer .. it's going to be about where Henoc feels he has the best opportunity for success personally and professionally. DR.

Brandon Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 No worries capgeek said that the ticats only have 85 dollars left so they can't sign him! Mark F, bearpants, Atomic and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 You can bet Austin will be out there waving a big cheque for Henocs services...They look like Cup contender/winners while we drift in obscurity...I know Muamba loved the Peg and the fans here BUT like most professionals you go where the dough is...I think we are competitive in the likable destination ,so we definitely have to up the ante and make it too expensive for Austin and the cats...This will be a big blow here IF we don't ink him, and just make this league look more lopsided than ever, with all of the talent congregating on one team..Such is the way in professional sports...Guess we'll know shortly how this is all going to go down...Losing Labatte was one thing losing out on Henoc would be another high pic down the drain...Things just keep getting better and better..

TBURGESS Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Gotta see it from Muamba's standpoint. If the money's the same (Us Matching), then it's a no brainer to sign with the team that's got a real chance of being the GC winner this year. Closer to home too. I was actually thinking Toronto as Greenwood keeps going down to concussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Only thing might be his role there. Otherwise I fully believe that's where he'll end up. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 If Muamba wants to play in southern ontario then so be it, can't force him to play here. His agent could be playing games, don't think the bombers want to get into bidding war and i'm ok with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Should help our 2016 draft picks increase in value. The 6 game injured list can help, but gotta believe a lot of those guys have hefty bonuses paid out before a game is even played, unless they somehow structure contracts differently in Hamilton.

Dr. Blue Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Kind of thought that's where he'd end up. Makes me kind of sick to read that this morning. I think it will make me even sicker to read he finally signs there. My question is how does Hamilton fit all these playmakers under the cap?

Mr Dee Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 1) location 2) winning org. 3) money We can only match 1 of those three. Huge disappointment...but understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
