Like Augustine and Roh Man, I love Roh. Sad to see him ride the bench - though he obviously needed to. I hope he gets a starting opportunity next season.

Here he's playing for a Grey Cup winning team behind the best O-line in the league. Would be weird imo for a guy who's had tons of injury issues to go play for a team behind a worse o-line. It's home for him.

Booch Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 If he goes he goes..we will be fine...we got full value from him for the 2 game cheques it cost us. He wasn't the sole reason we won the Cup this year...The defense in my opinion was...he played a safe game..no turnovers...did what was needed...much like we did all year with Nichols and lesser extent Strev...so if we end up with Nichols back..and fully healthy..another year developing Strev, and using him more liberally..no reason we won't be successful Jacquie and Bigblue204 2

Im sure having Hardrick, Bond, and Stanley Bryant helped his decision. Not to mention he was coming to play for Mike O'Shea. I very much doubt (as he's said multiple times) that it was strictly to come play at home, it was a business decision. Bigblue204 1
Geebrr Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Hardrick was not the Hardrick we've come to love, and the overall depth was not even close. Bond had never played a down here You can keep coming back with things, but Harris didn't take the most obvious chance at winning in 2016. We also did not win in 2016 Edited November 28, 2019 by Geebrr Noeller and Wideleft 1 1

Look I'm not saying going home had no impact on his decision but saying he just wants to go play closer to home is unbelievably naive. Edited November 28, 2019 by Nickthesizz

Also, getting to the playoffs in the East is a hell of a lot easier than the West.
Jpan85 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 Going into that game in Edmonton our oline was performing as good as it was in 2015 it was really that game that turned the ship around. Noeller and Nickthesizz 1 1

This is a classic example of where you really need all the facts before you start spouting off your own takes on what is “best for” a player you don’t even know. Collaros’ wife has a unionized job in Ontario that she wouldn’t be able to acquire easily if she were to move to Manitoba and she also happens to be pregnant. If those two things aren’t enough reason for him to want to move back to Ontario, his family is close to the area as well. He’ll be going back to Ontario.

JCon Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 So, he's due a roster bonus before FA but he doesn't have a contract beyond FA. Interesting structure. Geebrr 1
