Pick 29: Shai Bolton

[tigerlove]

Absolutely, free kick was very very soft, 50 was also very very soft, then the Carlton player pushes him so he pushes back and cops another 50? Really? I saw far worse not given 50 let alone 100.

Nope. Every single umpire would have paid a 50 for that. It was just such an obviously stupid thing to do. Definitely wouldn't want to see him do that in a final.

 

[James]

Round 22-3 Time to put the pressure on Ralph...

 

[Tigerfan]

Can I be a little unpopular. I have felt that the last two weeks, Bolton has been busy but not at the right standard. Not sure he keeps his position in our best side and with no injuries.

You’re right Brett.
Not as clean with ball.
Moving too fast and not as clean and composed.

 

[Tigerfan]

Didn't see anything that changed my mind today.

Watching the replay, Grigg commented on him sharing the ball so it has clearly been an issue raised internally.

He wants to be dusty but dusty is sharing with guys in a better position now.

 

[MB78]

I’m happy to see him given another game. The fact he can run through the midfield and can kick goals in hurry make him a must. His ceiling is high, just up to him to get his best form back.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Got a life line this week. Needs to make the most of it.

 

[tha8ball]

Yeah huge game for Shai. If he fails tmrw then it might be all over for him in big big month. Same with Chol.

 

[craig]

Big day for Shai tomorrow.

Another game like last week will likely see him out I reckon his last 2 have been poor.

Shai and Baker under the pump tomorrow.

Baker was good last week - as he is most weeks. Reckon they both he and Shai are far safer with Stack no chance of coming back in.

Yep certainly are.

Stackies injury is actually a bloody bad result for the RFC.

Hopefully (fingers x ) Stackie will be right for the first final, if its syndesmosis hes done .

 

[Tigers of Old]

I reckon he'll have a blinder tomorrow.

 

[eZyT]

I reckon he'll have a blinder tomorrow.

yeah, you beat me to it olds.

 

[Sintiger]

Shai has been looking for a dry ground imo. Looking for a much better game from him tomorrow.
That being said my view is that he should always be in our team as he brings an x-factor that most don’t have

 

[Tenacious]

Earned his spot today.

 

[spook]

He was much much better than his stats will lie.

 

[tigersnake]

I love how when he has the ball he moves in a way nobody has any idea what he is going to do next. Mesmerises the opposition.

yeah, he's like the big snake in the jungle book, except heaps faster

He's got that rubbery flexibility that Wanganeen had

and Long. They used to say he ran like he had one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas.

saw it again today, when the ball was dry he was a much better player. That being said he had a pretty good game
