Sneaky Git

[duckwing]

What do you think of this addition to make sneaky git a bit more useful:

If this player gets sent of by the ref for any reason and the coach doesn't bribe the ref immediately the player can bribe a functionary to let him back into the reserve booth during set-up of the next drive. No roll is needed for the bribe to succeed but he may not be set up on the pitch for that drive.

Nice idea, but far too good IMO. Especially for secret weapons it would mean you could play every drive. Even if you excluded secret weapons then for a Dirty Player SG means they can be sent off and all you lose is the remainder of the drive before they return. Against many teams that feels a bit too good.

I think SG could do with a boost, but this isn't it.

Galak/Ian have suggested being able to assist fouls while in a TZ.

Or how about this:
Roll a d6 for the SG when making KO recovery rolls. On a 6 he is moved to the reserves box.

Maybe he manages to sneak back to the reserves on a roll of 4+ that may be made after using (or deciding not to use) any bribes. That would make it comparable to Regeneration.

Edit: I also like the suggestion of using Sneaky Git as a Guard for fouls.

I meant that you would loose the next drive as well.

That's not as bad, but for example a goblin team could field all the SG SWs when receiving, score in T8 and get them all back for the start of the 2nd half. On a Deathroller I'd be taking SG ahead of Block.

Why not just give Sneaky Git a straight +1 to the armor roll? Even if you get a sneaky git/dirty player combo, you're not going to get more than +2 on the armor.

Of course, in the interests of full disclosure, I sometimes run goblins in leagues and fouling feels a little underpowered to me at the moment.

Yes... If you're lucky

I haven't passed a single regeneration roll for my khemri team in 11 matches (except for Hack Enslash, who got sent off anyway) so I hardly feel that 4+ is overpowered.

[DoubleSkulls]

Maybe, I'm still a little wary though. The 4+ roll would need to be once per game (so you can play a 2nd drive, but not a 3rd or 4th).
