If you are in a learning environment, and watching which players are good or can compete, listen and stick to what you are tying to implement, then you play Gorringe.
Frustrating yes, losing sucks, but the end game. When Waite, Petrie, Thomas and Boomer are long retired, Plow, Weiters, Byrne and Doc will be dominating opposition forward lines.
Gorringe got a huge learning wake up call yesterday. This is the standard against the every best. Cripps, learnt that you won't always win the taps and you have to fight for every clearance.
We learnt more last night than the other 4 wins IMO and I reckon Bolton enjoyed the wake up call as such. No media this week for the blues, back to business.
To a certain level you need to think about winning but how much depends where you're at. It's a fine balance. Mainly youth, as you said, but the ruck is very physical hence I'd put the strongest in there to give everyone every chance and let other ruckmen develop either in the VFL, or as second ruck, as i'd go next week until Kreuzer and Casboult are back.
Jaksch and Jones as key forwards, Wood and Gorringe as our rucks.
