He got hurt in warmup on Friday.
Great for Waterman. Well deserved and fitting that a Cavalry player that Forge kept out of the Final 2 years ago, goes as first CPL player. IMO that’s Herdman seeing some quality, and not bowing to pressure to get some patronage player from TFC Academy that will please someone in the OSA or CSA board.
It’s hard to predict who will be around in 4 years outside of a few guys, but as has been mentioned, the teams depth is pretty shallow. Subs should only see the field in garbage time or any other time, only if they have a sniff at 2026 (and of course Hutchinson for a “Heritage Moment”).
I am sure Herdman will get some strong suggestions from CSA staff for player selection if the games go sideways, but as he has done so far in his tenure, hopefully he tells them to stuff it.
Also, havent seen this posted.

Bontis opened his big mouth again a few days back, and in typical fashion, a lot of grandstanding words being used.
One note in there of potential foreshadowing…that Herdman back for 2026 isn’t a lock.
Does he want to stay but won’t be paid what he wants? Or not want to deal with the garbage behind the scenes he has already, for another 4 years?
Will leave that one alone for now.
