Perhaps but I think that under Ken and Burgo with their base running expectations providing fitness to play our team defence would have allowed him the flexibility to play other positions even if just for 5 - 10 minute bursts.

Because most on here speak about him with disdain but you actually want him.

read back and comment again.
but yeah i do want him. reason being that id love to see one of the highly rated young south aussies come home and excel. There is toumpass there is day, there are many others, but gorringe is one that i know we can get cheap, and seeing as he is a big man, they do take time so maybe there is still hope.
We need things to fall our way and get a bit of luck with late picks to close the gaps in our list. What is there a better chance with, a former pick 10 extramely highly rated 200cm big man who is still only 22 and may be a late bloomer, or a pick 80? id like us to gamble on him. low risk, massive potential reward.

Going by your logic, we shouldn't have traded Schulz in because he was crap at the time.
Some players take a while to reach their potential, think Matthew Lobbe for example.

Did Schulz ever call our club liars and say he was disgusted with us? I don't think he was crap but gorringe has done didly squat.

It doesn't matter, you're not the list manager.
If Hinkley forgives him for what he said to us last year then you have no say whatsoever despite how much you dislike him.
Yes, I agree Schulz would have shown more, but Schulz got a lot more opportunities then Gorringe has.

maybe...just maybe the club did screw him over and his comments were justified? maybe we promised more than we were able to deliver? im sure it wasnt deliberate, but im guessing that we thought we would get paddy for our first, and lozenger for our second. Then when we had to use both on paddy we had to go back on our word....maybe he was pissed as he had already packed his bags and swiped right to a bunch of tarts on tinder......who knows.

You obviously didn't read what I said properly, I said Schulz was s**t, didn't say anything about s**t players being dickheads.

We have 3 ruckmen in our squad - 2 with experience in Ryder and Lobbe, and another in Frampton who is an extremely likely lad.
We also have some other guys who can fill in if desperate (Westhoff, Trengove).
I'm happy with our ruck stocks.

Gorringe is not a crap footballer - if we get him for peanuts he would provide excellent depth. As for being a dickhead - who knows - BUT Port were actively trying to get him into the club last year...
