re: Gorringe.....Bolton will have to decide if he wants two specialist ruckman ie Kruezer and Philips or have the flexibility of Gorringe and Casboult to support Kruezer.
I dont rate either Gorringe or Casboult as great ruckman and its more about giving Kruezer a rest than gaining any advantage in the ruck or though Casboult gives you marking ability around the ground and some size.
Philips is a steady ruckman who has done well IMO and you know what you are getting...Gorringe is like a bigger Everitt as someone suggested and has that X factor/upside tag as you are not sure week to week what you will get unlike Philips....
I'd like to see Gorringe stay in the team and see if he can improve both his ruckwork and consistency...some of his handball is creative and he gives me the impression he could kick a bag of goals he if worked hard and tried to learn more about forward play....
The time to experiment is now while we are in a learning phase and just for the moment I would give Gorringe a few more games and see how far he can go with his development, if he doesnt work out then you have the reliable Philips to come back into the team..
