Take the strength.
A strength 4 AG 4 ball carrier is nothing to be laughed at.

SO you DON'T Want 7/4/4/7 Pass, Sure Hands?

Get him Block next and he'll be causing your opponents no END of trouble...alternatively Dump Off just got a whole load better, because your opponents will have to dedicate even more manpower to making blocks on the thrower, leaving your Catchers wide open....

To be a small essex echo here, take the ST........ the next skill will prove very interesting, but your AG increase made you a target and your ST increase just made it more difficult for him to get you without committing extra resource.

Dump-off would be great.

Take the ST increase while you can. With a statline like that, he'll be dead before he gets another skill ;)

Tough choice, even blocks against chaos warriors and black orcs or awesome throwing abilities for your gutter runners. I would still take the st.

Hehe, well I think STR it is then.

He is a pretty good thrower anyway with 4AG and Sure Hands/Pass skill.

I play a High Elf team in a Swedish league and have gotten 3 +ST and 3 +AG. :D The other teams haven´t been so lucky although we have a W Elf with MA 10. :pissed:


Choosing between Strong Arm or +ST is a difficult choice. He only benefits from +ST if you intend to run with him. And he won´t be to good at that because he doesn´t have the necessary skills although he has the movement. If you want a REALLY good thrower, which I recommend, you should take Strong Arm. Long Passes on 2+ is a graet feeling and could be necessary against fast-running teams so they can´t sack your thrower.
