Malta - why did Nigel not play a bonus?

[A***@public.gmane.org]

Why did Nigel not play any of the bonuses/bingoes through the A here? Was
the attraction of a very neat 37 for PO just too much?

I can see that one of the eights could be dangerous with the X unseen given
the position it creates on the bottom right triple word, but the other two
seem reasonable given the A is the last flexible bonus spot on the board ,
and with anotyher unseen blank the opponent could reply with an
eight-there , or if the blank is in the bag a turnover of seven could deliver it to
Nigel.

CRAGSMAN also apparently passed up on Nigel's next move.
