Norse skills: what to take?

[Smithysworld]

I have a new Norse team that I do like playing with very much. Three games into their formation and we have a 2/1/0 record. Not bad considering Im returning to actual playing after many years aways.
Anyway, I now have the problem (a good one though), what new skills to give my players when they level up. Here is what I was thinking, but pls PLS any comments both good and bad will be gratefully accepted.

Werewolf = Block and Stand Firm
Lineman = Dauntless and Mighty Blow?
Berserker = Mighty Blow and Dauntless?
Thrower = ?
Runner = Dodge?

As you can see Im struggling alittle, and having not played since 3rd edtion, Im still getting my head around rules and more so tactics (put my above record down to luck and good dice rolls rather than skill and tactics).

Thanks in advance for all positive suggestions and feed back.

My Comments

Werewolf = Block (this guys is your best blitzer)
Lineman = Wrestle/Tackle or Kick (not sure if you have Kick anywhere, but Norse, as much as any other team, need a kicker to control the flow of opposition and create mismatches)
Berserker = Mighty Blow or Stand Firm (mighty Blow will get him to his next skill quicker, but Stand Firm will make him a pivot and reduce his likelihood of falling to a revenge crowd surf.)
Thrower = Leader (cheapest reroll you will ever see...)
Runner = Dodge (or Tackle it depends if he is your ball handler or safety)

it is hard to be too specific without seeing your league set-up.

Thanks dude

Thrower: SURE HANDS (leader next)

blitzers are screaming for MB PO... with the jumpup skill there is no reason not to PO every turn if possible.

You’ll want some guard in there as well. I’d suggest taking it 2nd skill on the werewolves as with AV8 they can take damage better than the Blitzers. It’s my 1st doubles choice for the linos as well.

Also, no Yheti? If you are facing a lot of AV9 then he’s very tasty with MB and either juggernaut or block on doubles.

A strip ball, tackle lineman makes a good safety for dealing with pesky catchers too.

I put fend on my linos as recommended on the plasmoid playbook. at first I thought meh, but once I had three it really put a crimp in peoples chain pushes and follow ups.

And Guard, lotsa guard.

Taken on all advice, but was surprised about the lack of tackle recommendations

With so much Frenzy, you can delay Tackle for a while. On a rookie Norse team other skills are more needed (I'm thinking about bashing and survival skills).
