Mentioned before it would also be nice to see Trent Corney become a starter although it will be tough to displace Okpalaugo, Jeffcoat or Roh but sure would help with the ratio situation.

joe:

Nitty gritty right around the corner and we shall see.

Seems lots going on across the league with players being released and retiring. Some may be rehab situations similar to Coates, others are sure to be salary considerations.

The guy I see as a potential for the Bombers at this point is Eddie Steele who I think is suspended by the Riders. Believe Steele could still contribute as a rotational guy and be a leader for some of the younger guys. Winnipeg boy and a former Bison he has to have some blue and gold running through his veins that would motivate him as a Bomber. That said he is still listed as a Rider and may not be available.

He ain't going nowhere + he was a FA and returned.

Was just curious about the "suspended" status. Aware that he resigned. Sometimes things change.

I can't comment on it more (I could, but I can't) other than to say I know that as of now he is still in the plans. If Henry keeps playing the way he is...who knows, but they hope to carry all 3 DTs + potentially a 4th NI

I said Eddie Steele but Jake Thomas is a good addition. Nice that he was still available.

Positive step forward imo.

.....Jake 'the snake' Thomas was on speed dial waiting for the possibility of an injury...That came true today as Ian Marouf headed for the tub....Not sure of the extent of his ailment but it's very fortunate that Thomas was still available..It might be awhile before Marouf is ready to go again....Too bad as according to reports he was having a great camp so far.

Steele was in Camp today.
Club is leaning towards 2 Canadian DTs.
They let James go, who was high impact when he played.

I am wondering about Moe Leggett so added a poll to the thread.

papazoola · May 27, 2018, 2:52pm

....Polling pretty thin joe.....maybe some don`t know where to find it :
