From SEN:David King gave his thoughts on Bolton’s contract situation last week.
“It’s very simple. Shai Bolton, if you want to go and earn $1 million a season, you can go and get it, but that will still be there in three years time,” King told SEN’s Whateley.
“Right now, we’re in the window. We’ve already won our flags and we’re going again. We’ve probably got two or three more opportunities here.
“So you can sit back, and you’ll hardly be a pauper, you’ll probably be on $650,000 a year. Which is great money for you at your age while you build your reputation and your craft, while you destroy the competition.
“We want to build you into the next Dustin Martin. So go and ask Dustin what it was like when he could have gone to the Kangaroos. He stayed and look at it now.
“The money is the money now. It corrects. If your career goes on the trajectory, and all these other clubs are telling you that it will, but stay here, follow the course that Dustin’s mapped out for you.
“Put a five-year period together of excellence, then cash in. This kid’s going nowhere. Why would you leave?”
