According to some on RiderFans, it's a league wide conspiracy. Riders need to start hitting opposition QBs late and often.In exchange for a 15 yard penalty Hamilton won tonight. The CFL has demonstrated they have no desire to protect Rider QBs, so the franchise must take matters into their own hands. Old school hockey goon mentality. You hit ours dirty, we'll hit yours dirty. What will it cost us? 15 yards? Players will pass a hat around the locker room to pay the player fine. Why not? CFL will not properly address the issue until it becomes a problem for other teams, so let's make it a problem for other teams. I'm angry and disgusted at how easy it is in this league to alter a teams season with one dirty hit without any repercussions. Craig Dickenson must direct his defensive players to hit opposition QBs late, dirty and often to protect his own players.

Can't compare mid-late season form from a cohesive secondary to a first game were 3 of the 5 pieces are new to the unit. There are going to be breakdowns and mistakes made before they gel, facing Reilly and a few talented receivers those mistakes could have consequences.

True but I don't believe that hit would not have knocked Nichols or any other QB out of the game the way it did Collaros. It was a glancing blow something we have seen hundreds of times before.

First game of the season and anything can happen, as last year's home-opener demonstrated. They have Reilly and a couple of dangerous targets who can strike fast, the Bombers have a secondary that hasn't played together before. I put the odds of a Bomber victory at 50/50.

That's just the dirty Iranian scumbag terrorists you smell!

Too late to change the rules now, the C.P.A. has already been signed, sealed and delivered. Maybe next time they'll take harsher punishment into consideration.

Collaros is subjecting himself to this risk again and again, no one is forcing him to do so. If it wasn't this hit that took him out of the game it could have been the next, even a hard body shot like Tasker absorbed could be enough to rattle his fragile noodle. Makes you wonder if he was being paid $100,000 instead of $400,000 would he continue to expose himself to this risk.

The league also needs to protect players from themselves and future lawsuits, if Collaros doesn't have the good sense to retire himself, the league should declare him medically unfit to play the game. I understand why he might not want to retire as he's being paid over $400,000 per season whether he plays or stands on the sidelines but if he can't handle any contact to the head due to previous concussions he shouldn't be playing the game. I think the Riders will cut him prior to the end of this season and move on.

I'd like to read more about these events, do you have a link?

"Ever shovelled meat Billy?" I'm familiar with the product as I once had a summer job at Canada Packers shovelling tons of "source meat" from wheeled bin into the patty and sausage making machines....strangely I've never had the desire to eat any reconstituted meat products since that experience. I had a new lad wheeling the carts one day ask incredulously, "people eat this?" My reply was "apparently some do".

That's how innovation should work, the makers of the A&W straws will adapt the technology of the 7-11 straws or get out of the straw making business.

Don't forget to bring your white flag.

Well I guess there is a counterpoint to any initiative, no matter how pointless it is. Some people simply can not see beyond the end of their noses.

As the roster currently stands they don't have an extra Import DB to do that, so that can't be the plan. Alexander, Fenner, Gaitor, Rose, Sayles, are all they have, the rest were shuffled onto the PR.

Jones has been in Wpg. since 2014 and is now among the longest serving Bombers, not sure why he should require any more seasoning. I'm hoping the reason he's under Hecht is injury related.

A player that should be re-classified under this rule is Boris Bede the Als kicker, born in France but played for Laval from 2011 to 2014.

Four things, 1. He was cut by the Riders last year. 2. He's 5'-9", a full 7" shorter than Loffler. 3. He's slow. 4. Remember Hurl?

Man, you nailed it!

I think he'd stick with his first name Meffy, or just nickname him King Kong.

I only wish Cactus was still alive.

Scared of Koloamatangi.

As long as they beat BC I don't really care who plays, but having 3 new faces on the O-line is a frightening prospect, hopefully they can protect Nichols and make holes for Harris.

This may cause some inconvenience but hopefully spurs innovation, we definitely have a plastic problem that needs to be addressed now.
