February 22, 201510 yr comment_109762 If Hurl is such a strong prospect for a starting LB spot, why did the Riders trade Ricky Foley for Emry (with concussion issues) instead of electing to keep both Hurl and Foley? No way Saskie trades RF if they thought there was any way Hurl could play full time. You're assuming the Riders could have kept Hurl. You can't force a player to re-sign and you can't assume the Riders "let him walk" either. It's certainly a possibility that Hurl told the Riders to sod off so he could try to follow Richie Hall here.

From what I've read they did make an offer in an attempt to keep him.

It's certainly a possibility that Hurl told the Riders to sod off so he could try to follow Richie Hall here. It would be safe to assume that Hall's input to O'Shea would have been sought before signing Hurl, so Hurl may well have underutilized talents as a linebacker.

February 23, 201510 yr comment_109787 Terrell Parker was very good at WIL spot. I think they should bring him back. We're on a traditional D anyways.
February 23, 201510 yr comment_109812 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers add three Internationals: 'backers Rodney Lamar (6'1" 225lb) and Khalil Bass (6'2" 230lb), and receiver Tyrone Goard (6'4" 195lb).

No way Saskie trades RF if they thought there was any way Hurl could play full time. Lots of ways good players end up getting run out of town. Coaches and GMs looking for someone to blame, or to appease an angry fan base are just a couple that immediately spring to mind. Look at the defensive stats and win/loss record for Saskatchewan while Hurl was MLB. Pretty impressive, if you ask me. However, blaming and then ditching a MLB is much easier than placing the blame on an underperforming big money offence and QB.

February 23, 201510 yr comment_109816 Bout time they announced these guys. I have kinda high hopes for Lamar, don't know much about Bass.
February 23, 201510 yr comment_109817 Hopefully with all the recruitment a decent one ends up on the roster that can fill in for us this year

February 23, 201510 yr comment_109834 Tyrone Goard, with his size and if he makes the squad, I'm calling his nickname right now ... The Great Pumpkin!

February 23, 201510 yr comment_109872 Equally impressive is Goard has shrunk 3 inches since his. lol Cold weather will do that.
