Pick 29: Shai Bolton
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date
Could be anything. When he realises that he's better than 99% of the comp then get your popcorn ready
Nah, just joking around. Shai probably already knows he is better than 99% of the oppo
Yeah it's hard to know mate. He's an absolute freak, but geez, if he has a bit more composure in that snap we win it.
I honestly can't tell if he knows he's a superstar.
Easy to boil it down to that moment, plenty of others where we didn't capitalise. Thought he was dangerous throughout.
No doubt.
It was interesting when we rolled the dice after Dion got sniped by the gutless unaccountable squib.
We had nothing to lose.
If I'm in the box, I throw bakes AND Shai into the middle. (And dusty one out forward 50)
But dimma chose to keep Shai forward.
Maybe that's why dimma is on huge coin and I'm pacing around the living room seething and smashing Vic Bitters
Bolton has gone past Martin for pure impact. Don’t get me wrong Martin will forever be a champion but Shai is playing like Martin did in our premiership years. Difference only being that Martin always nailed those clutch goals.
He was tremendous. If he can just tidy up those loose ends he can be the best player in the competition.
Played tall forward in the main. Kicked 3.2. He's a 50/50 on goal. 7 SI, including his 5 shots. 10K, 4HB. No tackles. 4 turnovers. Got on the break to give us connection along the perimeter. 13 pressure acts.
0 clearances. 7 CBAs.
Wrestled with Cameron, a very strong 100kg. (Should have played on.) Marlion came in to help. Marlion is 80kg. Marlion went on with it and would've been worn out but he spared Shai a lot of energy.
The coach was glowing in his praise for Shai's game. Shai was glamourous. Of course. I like blue-collar Shai a lot.

Definitely. Amazing how different their game styles are; one's like a heavyweight boxer barging through, the other a ballerina dancing their way around players. Dusty GOAT coming to the twilight, can never fill his shoes but next best thing is Bolton. Still only 23yo. We absolutely must keep him.
Glimpses. Got a very soft I50 matchup in O'Connor.
Been up and down for a while. Not a bad game. IIRC 17CBAs for 0 clearances. (?)
Flakey around goal? Take that to the bank.
But such a glamour around the perimeter and in the guts when we can get on the burst. Devastating.
