Caesar has mentioned on a few occasions that Shai is quite often managed at training, probably just soreness.

Can't wait until he's 100% fit.

Shai did both sessions this week and I didn't see any signs of his usual management, also participated in more midfield drills rather than forward when they split into lines.
So here's hoping he can get even better, (*noting that the Shai we have is already a star of the comp.).

Imagine playing a game like that and looking over and seeing Castagna running around like a headless chook next to you.

He was like the kid in the school yard who dominated but all his mates were *smile* so he had to mop up after all of them

He was brilliant and must feel jibbed that we lost that. Probably isn't overly happy with a few of the other boys who butchered it after great work by Shai to get it to them.

Must play at the centre clearance at every opportunity going forward, we won 12 centre clearances, Shai won 7 of them!!

He was brilliant, but had a couple of stupid plays himself that burned goals. He fell away as much as any player did.

Great game, clearly BOG, but he should think about how he can Dusty us across the line. He has the ability.

And yet could have been even better. Cost us a certain goal taking on a tackler. He’s potentially the best player in the game if he reduces the errors.

Yep Shai's multiplay effort from wing to half-forward with that divine kick to JNR and his over the top pass to Castagna should both be penciled in as goal assists but we all know what happened:mad::(

Yeah fair call, that should have been a handball over the top, but it was George over the top, maybe with the game George was playing Shai couldn't trust him from kicking it on the goal line

Yeah I was clapping with joy at how good that play was by Shai, then wheeled around in disgust and kicked the couch when MRJ just stabbed at it.

In fact my couch took a fair few kicks tonight, seemed to happen every time George or Aarts touched it.

True, but we have far bigger issues out of this game than a couple of Bolton blues. Without him, we wouldn't have gotten within a bull's roar.
