...Lawless says Riders looking at Ottawa Asst GM and John Murphy as potential new GM. Have asked for permission to speak to both. Fwiw.

would have rather seen him go east, but nice pick up for BC, GL Bryant "Chuck Norris" Turner

I like Turner but, I think his better days are behind him now. And with that said, Good Luck in BC, Doug Browns last real contact on the team is now a Lion. 

Turner was a force....key word being 'was'...If it was turf toe, like some are saying, then I can see why he had a bad year in 15'...Guess we'll find out if he can turn up his game with the leos.. Looking at what has transpired with that club lately that might be a little tough...I'm picking them for the basement...Wally or no Wally  ...Turner is definitely a good addition for them along with Moore....the place where exBombers seem to be landing.

The question that will be answered is if Turner has a better supporting cast in B.C. might he be a better player there?

Austin Collie is retiring

I thought Wally never takes other teams aging cast offs and he's some kind of genius bla bla bla......

It's not like Doug knows the CEO or anything...

Yes, but the CEO won't be able to give you the current player's perspective, the current feeling in the 'room'.

Was he a free agent?

Signed a futures contract with Colts 

I know that he said not injury related but I think his knee injury had to play some role 

Too bad about Heenan but realistically hurts the Riders more than us.

He is moving back to the family farm

Bad news for the Riders is always good news for the Bombers.

That's code for the NFL is not working out and  the RIders look like they are going to suck this year so I will stick around home and farm instead.  Maybe next year....

Give the guy a break. It's his life, hie future and his health. He is free to do as he pleases for his own reasons and has to answer and justify to anyone. best of luck Ben

FYP.

The Heenan Saga so far...

Blue chip stud cant miss prospect signs with home town. Dream come true - he's gonna anchor the line for a million years.

Hearing NFL rumours but dont worry.

More rumours but don't worry.

Try out with colts but don't worry.

Signed a contract but don't worry he'll be back - he's from Regina and we're the Riders right ?

When he's released he's coming home

Retired but don't worry - when he comes back it'll be with us !

Stay tuned.

 

Tommy Condell resigns from TiCats

That's a big loss, at this time, for the Ticats 

They apparently only have 1 other coach on the O side of things not including Austin. That's crazy.
