With Goss and Cody, you guys are really really strong at DHB; now just the corners and safety settled and you'll be okay back there. I'd take Goss on my team any day...............
My understanding (from a friend who attends practice every day) is that Goss wanted to go home for a few days to tend to some family matters, and was placed on the suspended list so he could do so.
Yes but I dont hear of this happening on other teams . This is a must win game and would make the second time a star player wont be playing in an important game !!!!!!
But, having said that I agree with a "pop back home " to settle things down especially the player himself,then coming back a day before the game and playing.
The game is more important ,but this leads to a morale problem on teams,since what is good for one is good for all.
The reason this was discouraged and even not allowed on teams is it becomes a holiday and the club house attmosphere that follows when players take turns skipping on what is most important ,the game!
Pop home at your expense and return ready to play in time for the game in emergency situations .
Listen catfan, athletes know what they are signing up for when they decide to become pro players . He will be letting down 11 other players on defence by him not being thier Saturday night . It makes our defence that much weaker and we all know we dont need that and Sask. are chomping at the bit to go after his replacement . I can see going home for a few days but I cant understand why he cant be at IWS Saturday night ??? And dotn worry catfan , I have my priorities straight , I dont need you telling me I should .
It gets frustrating that all this is happenning this season . We played without a star on offence last home game and now a star on defence this home game . Ive read and seen many an athlete play a sport under duress . It`s part of the game and part of his job IMO .
