Sorry to see him go and I wish him well in Hamilton. It's the nature of free agency, roster size and new players coming onto the roster. You can't keep everyone and find a role for them.

Logan signalled the end for Johnny. Its too bad, I really like him here. But it makes sense, and again, Goviea signs an ex-Bomber. I don't think there was a player he signed, though, that Walters actually wanted without overpaying dramatically, so he really didn't "steal" anyone, but he did give a soft landing for a bunch of players we had moved on from.

I think he signed 10 ex-Bombers?

I thought that Streveler would sign in Hamilton after Woli ended up there... I guess he prefers to be on a winner, unlike Lawler

Goveia wants to be a player in the world of sports management, and all he does is sign his former teams players. Gee buddy, can you actually go out and sign someone you freshly recruited. Dude is getting annoying

Good for Augustine, I hope he gets a chance to play there as I still think we under utilized him here

As much as I liked Augustine here, not sure how he would fit in other than STs. He could not supplant Oliviera, he was not a threat as a punt returner, his fit was on STs. Maybe explain how we "under utilized" him here.

The reality is Augustine signed in Hamilton because we chose not to sign him.

Happy for him to continue playing. He really had no role in this team moving forward.

Unless the indestructible Brady goes down for 6 games, then we'll see some shuffling to fill the gaps. Logan isn't really a full game RB and if he's filling in for Brady, the return game will drop off.

People like to say Augustine was an inadequate RB but everytime they gave the ball to him he delivered. I'm hoping he gets the chance to shine a bit more in Hamilton, he certainly deserves it.
