Neither Global is taking a spot from someone else.  They couldn't cut them and replace them with Americans or Canadians.  They'd just have a 10 man PR.   If you have 11, 1 has to be Global.  If you have 12, 2 have to be Global.  So it's kind of an overstatement to have any concern about it.

And we have 9.

    In case anyone needed more proof of what a class act Brady O. is, he came out to my son's U13 A3 hockey final today (he is neighbors with one of the boys on the team) to watch the game, give the kids

  • I for one would like to see "Hawk" Tui Eli get in the starting lineup.

The only solace that I take from this is that it's not how you start a season but how you finish it.  I'd rather us limp out of the gate and be healthy down the home stretch.

The thing that concerns me is the lack of drive and hunger.  It's a team that looks "fat and lazy" right now.

Well gents, after reflection and watching highlights of the other games…we could be f*cked. At least for the first part of the season. 

You could be right.....Every other team showed more than we did, although it wouldn't have taken much considering the putrid effort we put forth in game uno......I hope it was a one off but considering the injuries we have suffered lately, this could continue....It was sad watching Grant and Bailey performing for the argo's....Not spectacular but they were still doing their thing...........

I also

think how we played was a reflection of our preparation vs talent. The decision to not play vets in preseason left them rusty and not able to execute as needed. Of all the qbs Zac had the most issues which I don't see continuing.The Ottawa game will be a better indicator.

I don’t buy this. Zach looked like a rookie. I don’t think playing 5 minutes a week earlier would have mattered at all. I’d buy it if Zach was a fresh faced rookie but he’s not.

I would be surprised if we aren't buried in the power rankings this week. We looked the worst out of any team, and it wasn't close.

Not to say it will last, but it really shows how "not ready" we were to play.

Maybe so,but sometimes it takes an aged vet longer to get into game shape/mentality.
