Simply put Rourke IS NOT worth the contract he has today.......... Time will tell if he is what we saw this year or what we saw two years ago I also agree with Booch, Betts was virtually a non factor.....and one step further I would also consider Covington mostly a miss..... Taking emotion out of the equation, BC got a terrible return on investment with both Rourke and Betts for this season, and it would appear it is compounded by fines and potential draft pick losses.........very poor financial choices were made out on the West coast.......

MOS saying they're healthy just means their arms and legs are still attached.

just like when they paid Reilly and couldnt afford to pay to protect him....or give him much more than Burnham and he got beat to a bloody pulp

Update looks like KSB, Cox, Reavis all practiced today. Reid DNP https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/05/cfl-injury-reports-division-finals/ All the Bombers practiced in full.

I'm assuming one is Shaffer-Baker who got absolutely blown up with a head shot last week. Shots like this remind me how I'm glad my son hung up his football cleats last year. Regardless of the gross color he wears, I hope Shaffer-Baker is okay.

Blue Flu.

And it worked out well for them too I see...Betts....i couldnt even tell if he was playing...and Rourke...well we saw what that did to them......and imagine if he is what he is which we saw this yr after teams knew his game....being attached to well over 700k for 2025 and over 800k the next yr...have fun with that assbags!

The community on this site pre-dates the team-run forum. Most of us have been talking football on this board (and ourbombers.com before that) for close to 20 years (just guessing) so why would we stop? RF is not an official team site but if the Riders decided to create a message board tomorrow, do you think RF would just cease to exist? I don't know how that other forum is these days but for me, when it started, I found it was overly-moderated - I know a few people who were banned or had posts deleted just for being (justifiably) critical of the team. It turned me off from that forum and I never went back. Rich and the crew have done a great job (imo) of creating a forum where you can speak your mind freely. You might get called out on your opinion by other posters, but you won't get the ban hammer undeservedly. Just my 2 cents.

Well, no one is stopping people from joining either of the sites.

Jersey too.

I agree, and no disrespect to Wilson, but we are appearing to find a groove with our Lb's.......I am leery of changing that up......

They couldn't even afford to pay Reilly! He had to file a grievance against them before they re-worked his contract less than a year after signing him to a massive deal. You would think they'd have learned something since then but it would appear that is not the case.

BA I can see....and he came on pretty well this yr save for a few wtf's tackling....and his experience back there be big....but as much as I love Wilson...that be a dumb move to bump off Ayers....or god forbid Griffin....or one the import dline guys...who may be a big reason we win this weekend. He will not be game ready.....rusty as hell....and who knows if he actually healthy enough to last the entire game? And if BA comes in and it allows for Kelly coming in instead of Hallett for the times we go that 7th db scheme...thats a win right there...Hallett is awful in that role...he's a pure ST guy and that all he should be

If there was a desire to amalgamate the discussion boards, it would have happened naturally over time.

And that the thorax is thoraxing.

I wouldn't put any weight into if Osh says they are "healthy" as we have seen what...5....6 "healthy" guys the last 2 playoff runs hurt us severely. Also....neither will be in any game condition at all....and thats cardio wise....vision wise and most importantly physically/tackling wise...addition of either or both at this point would be ...again a huge coaching gaff Only player I would insert fresh is Person's solely for the unknown factor with him as a rotation piece...that and the fact I think he has the best all around skill set of any of our ends

If they're healthy it's not comparable to last year.

Steinberg only one that picked a rematch from last year. Les go crush some souls, please and thank you of course.

I’m sensing a restructuring of that contract sooner than later.

If you’re legit flutie 2.0, and have an awesome front office bringing in excellent rookie dbs and WRs I think you can. With out that, real hard to see it happening.

Paying a qb that much rarely works out in the cfl these days

Tough to build a winning team around him though with that albatross of a contract he has.

"receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker (neck), left tackle Trevor Reid (knee), defensive end Bryan Cox Jr. (knee), and strong-side linebacker C.J. Reavis (knee) were all non-participants in practice on Tuesday" KSB, Cox, Reid all left last week's game due to injury. https://3downnation.com/2024/11/05/four-starters-miss-practice-for-saskatchewan-roughriders-ahead-of-west-final/

yup...have to agree...Wilson tho.....no point now...other guys are doing real good...in a groove and gane ready/shape

I mean they're practicing so that's a step up on some of the guys who dressed in the grey cup last year.

Shocking as I clutch my pearls.

Let's just be greatfull they aren't dressing Schoen and Bighill in their current state. 🤣 Wilson and Alexander were full participants in practice. Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think that happened with Schoen and Bighill Grey Cup week last year?

Kyrie and BA both need to sit.

Looks like Kyrie Wilson and Alexander gonna be this years version of injured players playing.

Like I said. The world moves on without you eventually.

Haba on the outside looking in as a healthy scratch, this might be it for him.

Sure but not as bad as wanting to throat punch every last one of those save on ‘family members’.

on a different note Trevor Harris has a face and head that just makes you wanna punch it....

I belong to both but I haven't been on the other site in years. I prefer the discussion here. And unless things have changed, the other site looks old & clunky.

The old coodies from the cousin

I can hear the whining and excuses starting already

BA's experience, leadership and smarts would be welcome IMO......

I just took a look there and it's like Surplus Direct and this site is Costco.

Are you talking the extra point? Cuz man that place is the Facebook fans.

Success usually comes when the Jets get more pucks thru. So far so good. I'm confused by why no Utah defenseman attempted to box out Vallardi on the power play. Giving a player like that free reign in front of the net makes no sense to me. But hey I'm sure there is some logical reason to explain it. Oh btw I'm going to be hiding out full time on MBB for the next four years just thinking spooorrrrttts.

Hopefully written under the name "Johnny Calhoun".

When he does it'll be called "This Things I Believe".... It's been talked about for years.

If we protect zach he can win the attack

Quite honestly I’m not sure there should be an opening for Buck. He’s underwhelmed.

Hope WJ shows up on Saturday. Harris will kill us if we don't get pressure. Oline needs to have a good game. Keep Zach upright and open holes for Brady. Game will be won in the trenches.

Yeah idk, I could see Simon and Jackson getting a chance. No jones all year and the elk make the play offs imo

The Lions rushed 3 & dropped 9 like we do to try to force the run... It didn't work. That's our defense as well. We need to blitz & take our chances. Harris doesn't like to get touched. We have to throw him off his game.
