The Bombers left the decision up to ND10. He decided he wasn't ready to go yet.

And rightfully so. If he can't go, he can't go. There's no point in trotting him out only to have him further injure himself 10 minutes into the game. He plays a hard game, he's got to be phyically able to run his routes hard to be effective. Dressing him would have been a mistake.

Don't see Collaros retiring.

Ya, Collaros is NOT retiring in 2026, bank on it. Neither is Harris or BLM. Strev is done ude to injury and Masoli should retire.

Don't see Collaros retiring.

I don't think he plans to retire. Just pointing out that some posters want him cut or traded which is probably not possible with his SMS.

OTOH, I'd like to see a drop in the SMS hit although I don't know what the extension for 2026 changed exactly. I expect there is probably an advance between free agency strikes. That could be time to make a decision if one is to be made.

We're still waiting to see if Walters and O'Shea return. I think they will but do players like Collaros or Oliveria balk at staying due to perceived problems with not fixing the OL or the OC? That's not to say we see a dramatic improvement in both but that's TBD.

Collaros is not a free agent but does he look at the issue of being pounded every game and say trade me? Like I said I don't see a trade based on his SMS so it's a rhetorical statement. If the team offers a substantial decrease he may decline and force an outright release?

It is an aspect of the game that most don't think of, but I've always said the last 3 minutes of the game is the game within the game, teams that figure out and manage the clock properly win, and the ignorant ones don't. Calgary and BC both had the game in hand and blew it because they didn't manage the clock properly.

It's not as calculated as some people make it out to be, teams are desperate to make first downs the best way they know how, poor clock management is what's pointed out when they fail to execute their plan properly. That 2 and out non-sense at a critical time in the game is what the Bombers have done far too often in the last 2 seasons.

BC screwed up the clock management. If Rourke simply keeps the ball instead of throwing it away, or they call a run play, they kill another 20 seconds of clock. Riders scored with 11 seconds left so they would have run out of time. That's the third or fourth game this season where a team lost because they didn't kill the clock properly.

Does anyone know how the revenues (ticket sales) for the cup  are allocated? Does the team hosting the cup receive any revenue streams other than ticket sales etc.?

Yes I believe they do. Especially all the parties and as such.

Why do you care?
