With a hundred bodies milling about, it's somewhat understandable the media did not pick up on it.  Question is when the Bombers announced Thompkins as a no-show why didn't they also announce that Foketi was M.i.A.

It is understandable for a fan to miss it.

This is your job if you are media. He has been here 2 years or so.

Thompkins didnt bother me. But Foketi does, he apparently liked it here, so what's the deal?

Apparently not, I don't think any player enjoys standing on the sidelines watching for seasons on end as the prime of their career slips by.  The team needs to own this and re-examine their player management approach, because in situations such as this they're obviously misreading player response.

Didn't he just re-sign this off season?

Precisely.  You have to be able to read the quiet types who don't usually complain.

Anyway, Foketi was reported as being dominant in one on ones earlier in camp - who WAS wearing #57?

We have no idea what happened with either him or Thompkins. You're reading too much into it and assuming they both just quit because they were unhappy with the team. There could be many reasons, some of them non-football related. We just don't know.

Strange that the club didn't announce Fokketti's absence. I checked the transactions and he was transferred to injured vet back on May 15. I don't understand why he wasn't suspended for not showing up unless the team is holding a spot for him, should he want to return.

They should have been upfront about it or at least provide some reasoning like they did with Thompkins, not being able to get hold of him.

???? What a bonkers thing to post.....

Print media in Canada is getting $$$ from the Federal Government. Print media in recent years has complained constantly about declining revenues and having less readers. However they never look at themselves and think maybe these things are happening because they don't do a good job such as missing a story like this.

With Harris back at it today, on the other side of things the list of non-participants has grown. No surprise following back-to-back padded and full-contact practices. Should be no major concerns though.
