Quote from: Blue In BC on December 23, 2025, 05:42:16 PMI saw that. He was most often listed at WIL along with Hladik but IIRC both lined up at multiple spots depending on injury situations.

All this doesn't quite answer the question about Awe. He's played WIL in the past. I'm not sure if Sankey is only a MLB type. Hladik is currently a potential free agent.

So who plays where with the addition of Sankey is a TBD along with cumulative SMS costs at the position.

Sankey is an old school MLB, great against the run but not against the pass, Awe is more versatile, if they played them both it would be pretty scary.  Hladik is the prize, I'd be surprised if BC let him walk away without an attempt to re-sign him.

Sankey at MLB, Awe at WIL is a Team 100 level pairing...  although not as clean.

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on December 23, 2025, 05:17:43 PMI don't think this is true, other than the 2 Jeff's period the pass rush has not been that great, even though they had a few series of outstanding individuals like Jamaal Westerman.

Looking at just the DTs, we have had league-top guys pass through here.  Nevis, Stove, Sayles, Walker.  Even Poop was pretty darn stout... until he didn't FIFO.

We haven't had a monster DT since Sayles or Walker.
Never go full Johnston!

Depth would great but getting everyone on the field or playing time plus SMS issue. It was the reason why it was not a good idea for the Bombers to consider Sankey.

Maybe Hladik won't re-sign and negotiations were not going well? He could be another Canadian looking for $200K+ as a starter.

I can't see BC spending a lot on ratio breakers this year.  They have Rourke, Betts, Covington, Beaulieu, Cotoy, McInnis...  and that's 6 without any Oline.

They can easily move on from Hladik if $SMS is a concern

I get the feeling that Covington might be out as well from local rumours.

I don't see Hladik as a top tier LB compared to the best Imports, but he is a very good Natl. LB who should command a salary similar to Kramdi.

Absolutely no shock there.  They need to keep the NAT REC ratio up so they can go all (or all but 1) IMP on D, or use 3 IMP OL.

Is K.Johnson in FA this year?  That's the real prize (but no passport).

Riders have an abundance of CDN receivers which makes the ratio work for them.

Yes, Johnson is a free agent.

Johnson was #4 in receiving yards, Dohnte Meyers #7, they won't be able to keep them both at the price elite receivers are now commanding after paying Emulus around $300k. Riders have become a fat juicy berry bush for the plucking.  Also imports Joe Robustelli, Shawn Bane, NI's Tommy Nield, KSB and Mitchell Picton, not all these guys deserve big contracts, but 1 or 2 of them could fit on the Bombers roster fairly well.  Question is are the Bombers looking to upgrade 2nd tier Natl. Clercius?

Robustelli might be a good steal. He will not be a high-price FA, I think. He had a decent production on his 12 games last year - 500+ yds and 3 TDs.

Agree, but the Riders might be able to retain him at a lower cost and let more expensive options walk like Meyers and KSB. Don't think he's worth $200k, but he'd fit in nice as a #3 or #4.
