Yes he has a lot of potential but at the moment he's not up to being promoted even on a youth scholarship. He's slipped behind Lewis Miller and Alec Vinci and his recent performances have been below par. Needlessly gave away the penalty and got sent off against Mt Druitt, missed the NSM game, had a shocker against Berries (although he was not alone), was partially at fault for the first goal and majorly at fault for the second against St George and did not play well against Hills. His speed and accuracy of distribution has improved greatly from the start of the season but his decision making is poor. His defence also improved dramatically over the first half of the season but has dropped off over the past few weeks.
He will almost certainly be promoted but not yet - probably needs another NYL and NPL season before he is ready. He is a great kid, a local and definitely has all of the off field attributes and character that we need. His major contribution recently has been breaking Andrew Hoole's foot in training - some would say that alone is enough to get him a contract!!!

And that all coincided with him not being picked for AU game when Vinci I think was. Wonder if that got in his head

Unless you are vomiting and something is up your arse.....

...back on topic.

Have 6 people going tomorrow night.

1 family member. Rusted on like me,
1 I brought to games last year and have converted to a gold membership for this year.
1 family member (inaugural member) who refused to come back last year. She was a very passionate fan. But now Bolt phenomenon has drawn her back for at least one game.
2 brand newbies who I was able to use their Bolt interest to motivate and will work on for ongoing memberships.

Every year I plug away. But it’s become very hard to get new people to come after this 4 years and several people I converted have left.

But Bolt is making a big difference at present. Can see how beneficial this will be if the fairytale works out.

You just need him to score in front of the Yellow Army, do his bolt stance and your recruitment drive will become a whole lot easier

I think we might be good for 10k tonight. Nearly all of the bottom of the eastern side is sold out, a decent amount sold on the western side and hopefully lots of GA.

 

[Wombat]

Definitely gonna crack 10k

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Fair play to Shaun and everyone at the club, while personally I don't approve of the trial it is impressive the amount of media coverage and attention it has generated for us. Good luck to Bolt but personally more excited to see the other trialist on show, Andrija Majdevac he's played for the Serbian U17s though has been playing in the Serbian second division recently.

Och well, that’s the crowd f**ked, you know what Coasties are like going to the stadium after ten minutes of rain on game day, hell, they don’t go if it rains on the Wednesday before game day

 

[BrisRecky]

P.s ...I hope some Rep player don’t have a Chopper Harris flashback when and if Bolt runs on...barred for life

Yep. Massive dent. Just spoke to someone who will watch it at the pub instead.
