The Bombers reaped 3 all-star seasons out of Loffler's rookie contract and he didn't make a peep about that inequity, I think it's fair he be allowed to earn a good wage more in line with his contributions on his next contract. Just because you have no understanding of his assignments doesn't mean he hasn't been executing them properly.

The last two season Labatte has started at OG and been moved to Centre half way through the season in order to help O-line play, a position he hates playing apparently. Pretty much spells the beginning of the end when a Guard or Tackle gets shuffled to Centre.

Don't want to read too much into this but they also signed Speller and left Spooner off the list.

No need, they signed this guy. WPG ADD INT Evan CLARK (WR) Saint John's Nov. 28 transactions. WPG ADD INT Darvin ADAMS (WR) Auburn * WPG ADD NAT Johnny AUGUSTINE (RB) Guelph WPG ADD INT Bryan BENNETT (QB) Southeastern Louisiana * WPG ADD INT Brandin BRYANT (DL) Florida Atlantic * WPG ADD INT Evan CLARK (WR) Saint John’s WPG ADD NAT Abubakar CONTEH (DB) Grambling State * WPG ADD INT Chandler FENNER (DB) Holy Cross * WPG ADD INT Manase FOKETI (OL) West Texas A&M * WPG ADD NAT Geoff GRAY (OL) Manitoba * WPG ADD NAT Andrew HARRIS (RB) Nanaimo Raiders Jr. * WPG ADD NAT Derek JONES (DB) Simon Fraser * WPG ADD NAT Patrick NEUFELD (OL) Saskatchewan * WPG ADD INT Matt NICHOLS (QB) Eastern Washington * WPG ADD NAT Daniel PETERMANN (WR) McMaster * WPG ADD INT Chris RANDLE (DB) Utah State * WPG ADD INT Craig ROH (DE) Michigan * WPG ADD NAT Rashaun SIMONISE (WR) Calgary * WPG ADD NAT Cody SPELLER (OL) McMaster * WPG ADD INT Kenbrell THOMPKINS (WR) Cincinnati * WPG ADD FROM ACTIVEXX INT Patrick CHOUDJA (DL) Nevada WPG ADD FROM ACTIVEXX INT Joseph ESTE (DB) Tennessee Martin WPG ADD FROM ACTIVEXX INT Kenny LAWLER (WR) California

Yep, if he was raking it in on the farm he wouldn't lower himself into doing those stupid Humpty's commercials.

I read somewhere Stanley Bryant is making around $200,000 per year, not much savings to be had there if true.

Speller may have usurped Spooner, he's on the roster, Spooner is not.

I can't see why Nichols won't come in and lead the team to at least another 10 win season next year, making that decision all the more difficult. I'm not sure Streveller's current playing style is sustainable, not since early Reilly have we seen a QB that runs so recklessly and we've witnessed the transition Reilly had to make to his game in order to stay healthy.

Here's the story. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/11/17/walking-miracle-claybrooks-opens-brush-death/

Am I in the right thread???.... no I don't think so, I want to be somewhere over there in that other one over there somewhere...

Ay Caramba....

Bear Woods has been downgraded to "Marmot" Woods, not the dominant player he used to be.

Right, two, three, four times. Jamaal, Jabar plays inside.

Quick, sign Sergio Castillo before someone else does.....he's CLOSE ENOUGH!!!

Right...I'd rather keep Corney.

He was injured for the season and chose to recuperate at home, never heard there was any problem. He should be pursued, may potentially be the best Natl. DE in the league....come to think of it he may be the only Natl. DE in the league.

If the Bombers can't retain Loffler an alternative is replacing him with Fenner or Fogg and using a combination of Corney and Jake Thomas to maintain the ratio. I'm not convinced Conteh, Morgan or Jones can fill Loffler's boots adequately.

Hervey is not good at keeping secrets, somebody just needs to ask him the right question and he'll blurt out the answer before engaging his brain.

I don't know if anyone has already posted this link to this Randy Ambrosie interview but his ideas of how to grow the CFL globally seems a bit far-fetched to me. https://tvo.org/video/programs/the-agenda-with-steve-paikin/redefining-a-league

If Loffler follows through on F.A. he could get unreasonably expensive as a lot of teams could use him in their secondary for ratio purposes and may bid him up beyond what Walters sees as a reasonable price. He's been voted a CFL All-Star at Safety each of his 3 years so I can see him wanting to make some serious hay after playing out his rookie contract. He also has family ties to BC, I would guess it's 50/50 whether the Bombers can retain him.

I think that ties into Nichols comfort level, when he is comfortable he gets more confident and sees the field better, mainly because he has more time to do so. Last Sunday he looked panicked, throwing the ball away once or twice is okay but he must have done it 5 or 6 times, which is unacceptable.

Much like Dervin from the War Amps video I'm sure all of the Import receivers they've brought in can "run", "jump" and probably "catch the ball" when thrown their way. The problem is this position has been chronically underused in LaPo's game-plan for years and the role is reduced to a secondary support position when it needs to be a primary position of attack. Until Nichols starts distributing the ball more equitably and habitually targets this receiver 4-6 times per game it's very difficult to determine whether a receiver like Thomkins skill level is actually inadequate. From observation I would guess that he's got all the tools but is rarely called upon to use them.

Sold, I'm willing to give gin a try even though from past experience it seemed to be a rather uninteresting fluid. Any gins you can recommend worthy of drinking straight up or over ice? Maybe a rhetorical question, but are you a swiller or a connoisseur?

Video now up on the Bomber site. https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/11/21/i-shouldnt-be-here-the-andrew-harris-story-presented-by-sway-tsn/

O-linemen tend to hang around longer than most players as long as they're fed well.
