August 8, 20177 yr comment_281701 Interesting. Wonder whats up with this scenario.. maybe we can offer them Neufie? but ya this is news to me as well..
August 8, 20177 yr Author comment_281705 that's what I hear, so was wondering if anything has been mentioned about it anywhere,
August 8, 20177 yr comment_281709 not sure if there's any connection, but........ http://3downnation.com/2017/08/08/lions-tried-to-claim-riders-practice-roster-canadian-ol/
August 8, 20177 yr comment_281710 if it happened, Spooner must have declined (like Guy did to BC) because we haven't had to put him on the active roster to avoid losing him (unless I missed that).
August 8, 20177 yr Author comment_281712 possibly eh? I was thinking either them or possibly Edm. Then again there is the Rider's who have no depth, are weak on the oline and that is something Jones would do as they can't recruit anything to save their lives It's good we averted it though as I would think Bond most likely gets NFL interest next year and we may make that LG spot a National position as we have the resources to do so And from what I hear Spooner loves it here, so makes sense he would decline Edited August 8, 20177 yr by Booch

We did put him on the 1 game inactive I think, to prevent this from happening.

August 8, 20177 yr comment_281716 Well, it's never been even hinted at. I might have said Edmonton, but their moves recently on the O-Line confuse me. They get some injuries from last game on the line, and yet they release (T) Washington for nothing. Apparently, they have good 'in-house' personnel already.. By the way, good for BC to look at Saskatchewan.
August 8, 20177 yr comment_281717 Spooner was moved off the PR last week, and it was immediately speculated (on MBB) that someone tried to pluck him.....I don't remember what thread, but someone mentioned it last week.

August 8, 20177 yr comment_281741 Probably BC. Since they tried claiming the rider cdn OL.. Think BC is a safe bet.
August 8, 20177 yr comment_281769 I'd bet BC, maybe the Riders. Glad we've kept him. If as Booch mentioned earlier, we lose Bond, its nice that we have Couture, Spooner and Neufeld to fill the that Guard spot.
August 8, 20177 yr comment_281776 Considering Wally tried to grab Guy off the riders PR and now have brought in NI Andrew Jones, it reeks of desperation so i'm saying smart money is on BC trying for Spooner
August 8, 20177 yr Author comment_281777 looking very well like it could have been them When you look at it we could probably field a very serviceable oline with Neufeld, Foketi, Couture and Spooner all playing....quite the departure from where we used to be Edited August 8, 20177 yr by Booch
August 8, 20177 yr comment_281791 Sneaks....just goes to show ya, gm's in desperation mode will come in the back door...Hard to say who for sure but it's not beyond Corky in riderville
August 8, 20177 yr comment_281799 I do not get it ..... why does it matter who went fishing in our pond?
August 8, 20177 yr Author comment_281802 Curious, also gives some insight into which teams may be in more injury issues with Nationals then being led to believe in the media.

August 9, 20177 yr comment_281917 Doing this is totally allowed by the rules, and yet there is a consensus its a dirty move... yet there is no opportunity cost for the team doing it. Why not? I mean it makes the other team have to shuffle their roster if they think the player is legitimate - and if not, you get a swing at a potential gem on another teams' PR.
August 9, 20177 yr comment_281918 I see no issue with it either. If you get the opportunity to potentially start and earn a game cheque on another roster so be it.
