RMWilliams, That % doesnt include Castagna's out on the fulls.
Mostly its a 30 30 30 split, unless its in the third of a tight game

Pick 29: Shai Bolton
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date

Shai is such a special player and can do what nobody else does. Trade value would surely be very high.
Yep. One thing to let Brandon Ellis, Dan Butler or Oleg Markov go for more opportunity and another to let Shai go. He already has all the opportunities he needs.
My thoughts too, I would max our offer at 750-800 a year , not sure it’s healthy list strategy to pay a small mid forward near 1mn albeit I rate him very highly . Shai will still be a very wealthy young man and if he invests wisely won’t have a money worry again
Yea I think 3 max ,you don’t sign 7y deals at 22 , especially if you’re on the rise as an A grade talent
Yep Agreed Turkish he is busting out .................. but he aint going anywhere I don't think.
The club would have made Ralph and Shai aware of the the way the future with impending retirements and an impending rise back to the cap.
I'd be demanding 2 top 10 picks we lost Bobble for unders and Shai is a Dual Premiership Player as well as becoming one of the hottest properties in the game.
I still think he's staying, there is no point him going home yet.
He loves it at the RFC he loves the boys he loves Dusty and JR8 and Cotch.
Ride the wave at Tigerland where he will be on good cash anyway, then go home later if the feeling strikes.
Then we rip the guts out of whoever wants him if he really wants to go home.
He could play his career out as one of the highest paid Tigers should he continue his trajectory.
Gonna be plenty of retirements ahead after the 21,22 and 23 seasons, to allow for some Quaan in his peak years.

In Ralph we trust
Under that glorious merkin is a somewhat competent brain that knows Shai and Richmond are a perfect fit.
He's not that dissimilar to Dusty. Quiet kid (the useless Ch 7 commentators would say he is Shai) who doesn't want to be the face of a a Perth club on massive coin under huge scrutiny in a 2 team town.
He can enjoy his footy with his mates in an awesome environment, win flags and come second in Norm Smiths with us. No media, no external expectations, just go out there each week, sit on blokes heads and try and win a car.
Ralph will set him up on and off field and we will help him.
He's set for life at Punt rd.

I don't reckon Shai leaves for money. He will be well remunerated at Richmond but maybe not quite as much as others, but after tax the difference would not be huge.
If he leaves it will be for personal reasons IMO. Hopefully we can convince him to stay. I love watching this boy play.

His kicking style is effortless.. Laconic. That long point he kicked was an afterthought but went the 50 metres easy.
