Benny Gale on Bolton's contract negotiations:The sublimely talented Bolton remains unsigned beyond 2021 but Gale is confident the West Australian native will put pen to a new Richmond deal in time.
“That’s an ongoing conversation,” he said.
“This is the other disappointment. In the cold light of day we’re a footy club and right now we’re in a position where we don’t have too many midfielders available at the moment.
“Because of this situation they’ve found themselves in, which we understand which is regrettable, we’ll be without Shai for the next three weeks.
“So we’re in discussions with Shai and with (manager) Ralph (Carr). They’re very constructive and they’ll land at the right spot. This will have no bearing on those discussions.
“I’m confident he won’t be going anywhere. He loves it here, he thrives here, he really belongs here and formalities will take place and it will run its course.
“You don’t want to put a date on these things but we’re very confident he’ll be a Richmond player.”
