Yes we did. I just posted the link from CFL.ca

 

 

 

We should demand royalties from cfl.ca for doing their work for them. 😁

So wait... Is Castillo actually going to kick for us now, or did we just acquire his rights? Is he still actively pursuing NFL contracts? I don't recall him kicking for BC this year...

[Nolby]

My guess is he signed the contract for the rest of the year to play with us and then will continue his attempts for the NFL afterwards?

[Geebrr]

Castillo is a good pick up.

A legit kicker.

Phew.

The Free Press says he opted back in to his contract.

It’s expected Castillo will arrive in Winnipeg while the Bombers are on a bye week next week and will complete a mandatory seven-day quarantine before joining the team. The earliest he could possibly play would be Nov. 6, when the Bombers host the Montreal Alouettes.

The Bombers agreed to conditions on the fourth-round pick they sent to the Lions. Those conditions are linked to how the Bombers finish the season. It’s likely that it will become a higher pick if the Bombers win the Grey Cup.

I have no problem with fans looking ahead to the Grey Cup... as long as that locker room sticks to the 1-0 mentality... and I'm confident they will...

(Also no Harris...Oliveira getting all the work with the 1s....)

[rebusrankin]

As long as we are healthy December 5th and 12th.

If we keep starting neuf at T, collaros wont be healthy when we need him.

We will clinch the division this weekend. Book it! 

I don't really care about the back to back with the Als, whether we lose any or not.

But I want the Bombers to beat the Stamps on our last regular game.
Just to tell Bo that "They’re finding out who they are right now, and we’re going to continue to show that to them."

Since I'll be going to that game - as I do virtually every time the Bombers come to play here over the last 18 years - I want them to win as well... having said that, we might not be giving our starters the full game if we've already got the division in the bag (which I assume we'll clinch this Saturday, long before the final week).

[Jpan85]

Wow who sits? Or is Nick Taylor more hurt than they thought.

[TrueBlue4ever]

Bombers keep upping the ante on the rest of the CFL. 

[Jpan85]

Its always amazing how these signings don't get leaked. Bombers run a pretty tight ship.

[BigBlueFanatic]

@cgystampeders

I’ll see your Tre Roberson and raise w/ a Winston Rose… 

[Noeller]

[TBURGESS]

Rose is an excellent signing. We actually got better on D.

[Bigblue204]

Taylor being a full participant today makes me think he should be good to go Saturday.

I think you have to 100% Di one guy and rotate all of them. That is if Taylor is good to go. If not you move guys around to the best set up.  Other wise it really comes down to who can play what other positions. Alford is in roses' CB spot. Can he play inside at hb? Mike jones is randle esq on his corner. With every one healthy I think you have to have Taylor, rose, darby and mike jones in. For the other spot, Nichols was better early on but alford has been better since the first couple games. He's shut down some of the best wrs in the league. So maybe you DI nichols and move him in with the NI Wil package for kyrie. And maybe you rotate some dbs. 

What a fantastic problem to have. We could get the extra db on the field with kyrie when if we use jake and kongbo at the same time too. A lot of options.

Fwiw, he was out on the field crammed into Kongbo's jersey today. I don't think he's THAT far off....they'll give him this week likely and then he's back after the bye.

the picture was hilarious. Looked like it was gonna explode. Yoshi gonna yoshi. But I sure hope he's back after the bye. But even more I hope we dont roll neufeld at tackle again. We got away with it once narrowly. BC is gonna game plan for it and exploit him bad if we dare do it again.
