My point is that Gorringe is too easily brushed aside by opposition ruckmen (and defenders) in contested ball situations and that's part and parcel of a ruckman's workload, regardless of how much time he spends on the ball. Gorringe is actually reasonably effective at centre bounces because he has an unencumbered leap at the ball.
My preferred position for Gorringe is as a tall utility (as discussed below) and Gorringe sees himself as a tall midfielder.
By the way, thanks for the ruck analysis. It is probably the most over-thought, meaningless nonsense I have read on this site and it gave me a very good laugh and, yes, I know small things amuse small minds
That wasn't just directed at you but to everyone who has been bagging out Gorringes ruck ability. (Jimbo amongst others), yes your post was quoted because it served as the popular opinion, not just because it was yours.
Not like you to go off half-c0cked and overreact.
So you thought that analysis was over-throught? I thought it was a very simplistic example myself. Each to their own.
