Pick 29: Shai Bolton

[Willo]

Good to hear Bolts re-sign, but where's the story on RFC website?

The AFL sub it to Crocofshit media. The “best in the business” was late to the party. Probably off sulking somewhere.

 

[eZyT]

Well played Ralph. I like the way this guy rolls.

I reckon Ralph saved us about 500 grand on this one.

 

[Bunnerz]

good news. i thought he was gonnnneee.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Amazing news.

 

[Willo]

$600k per year. How long for?

 

[TigerForce]

$600k per year. Horw long for?

I think I heard Nick Riewoldt say 5 years and back-ended.

 

[Tigers2011]

Great news. Preparations for 2022 have commenced & this is an important piece.

 

[WesternTiger]

I think I heard Nick Riewoldt say 5 years and back-ended.

Seriously? 5 years is a big commitment from both club and Shai.

 

[Tigers of Old]

I reckon Ralph saved us about 500 grand on this one.

Just by holdiing off you're probably right.

 

[tha8ball]

Huge.

 

[St Kevin]

Just by holdiing off you're probably right.

And yet Richmond supporters still give him flack. Both Martin and Bolton have taken unders to stay, but Carr is the villain.

I’d be stunned if it was 5yrs.
Seriously stunned.
Pleasantly stunned.

Only supporters on Puntroad maybe. Most tiger supporters I know have never heard of him or never give him a mention!

It would be unlike Ralph to commit him past free agency, which is three years. That's what I'd predict.

 

[MD Jazz]

His information is from player managers ,what's the problem with that,fact and nothing anybody says will change this reality.

He should be renamed Sex Panther

 

[Carter]

We need X-factor and we need Shai

 

[toothless]

He is now also with Ralph and I thought it was announced that he had signed for another two years about 1 month ago?

Yes by Tiger71

 

[scottyturnerscurse]

Yes by Tiger71

Good get by Tiger71, who knew he was going to sign despite not knowing how to pronounce Shai's name.

 

[caesar]

It would be unlike Ralph to commit him past free agency, which is three years. That's what I'd predict.

Not to mention that it coincides when Dusty's contract expires in 2024, whilst Dusty is there we have every chance of being half decent after that Shai could make a more educated decision.

So is it 2, 3 or 5?, i'll join Spook and back in 3.
