No Essex bashing allowed unless you live there or caught something from someone that does

- OK. And I am not referring to any form of Wanderlust

on another note, how about the Maladjusted Mudthirsters

No don't live there...

Never caught anything from someone who does (am I the only one)

Sorry but I thought it was apt!

Well, a partial triumph of common sense I see...

Goodluck with them mate, methinks you'll need it....

Cheers, I think I will need it! My starting roster is:

2 Trolls
1 Skaven Thrower (allie)
11 Goblins (1 with Bombs, 1 with Chainsaw)
2RR's
7FF

Job done

The general idea is to lob some Goblins downfield with the Trolls, bash people around a bit with Bombs and Chainsaw and then if I get the opportunity, fuzz the ball downfield to a waiting Gobbo with the Skaven thrower allie.

Failing that I'll just run a round a lot

You have a plan?

PS I'd have gone for the gutter runner ally myself, but then I don't approve of allies, so what do I know...

Ok I'm curious, why the GR and not the Thrower?

We don't allow allies as such in the NBBL itself but the BBQ Bowl (which I'm playing this team in) is more relaxed so you can try things out.

*shameless plug* You can checkout the BBQ Bowl at

aside from the extra 2 movement and the AG4 you mean?

statistically, an AG 3 player with sure hands and pass has the same odds of picking up and throwing the ball (using skill I mean) as an AG4 player..

they both fail 16.66% of the time..

so in that case, it boils down to movement for me... plus the dodge skill...

S3 v S2 is important, but unless you're going to use him as a blitzer, I wouldn't bother...

Well worth the extra 20K I think...

Fingers crossed the trolls aren't HUNGRY

Personally, I'd pick 'The Mighty Mudthirsters", but then again, perhaps it sounds too much like Muddy Mudskipper from Ren & Stimpy... LOL!

As an ally it has to be the GR every time the AG 4 compensates for Sure Hands and Pass. and the extra movement and dodge make him a much better option as a TD scorer if required

Just realised, the 2 Trolls count as allies don't they? And the general Allie limit is 2, so I can't take the Skaven player. Unless Gobbo teams get more allies for some reason?

Not to worry though, I'll just take a 2nd Chainsaw
