For most players I would choose wrestle, but an armour 7 str 4 player on the ground is bound to be fouled to death sooner rather than later.

This guy's too good not to give him Block.

Block!

Hmm...that team looks familiar

As such, my vote goes to dauntless

Protect this guy on Defense.

On offense, use his Str4 to as much advantage as possible. For me, I'd give him Frenzy and use him to blitz a nice wide hole open in the opponent's defense to let your rats pour into his half of the field. Not having Block will mean he'll inevitably eat a reroll now and then when blocking, but the team has pretty good reliability as it is with regard to its skills. Block next for sure.

Retire - too much TV.
You already have amazing GRs so no need for a blitzer that doesnt have cpomb

What's next for a ST4 tackle line rat???

I would consider firing him as well - however you don't have any high strength blitzers, so I guess he would stay for now. Is it a high tv league?

The league is MBBL, so open, some high TV, some low, some medium and it's perpetual. Its not TV matched so a ST4 linerat is in no way a TV drain and tbh even if it were, he would be worth having imo, sacking him is not an option.

He does things no-one else on my team can (2d blocks without bring up an assist) so why would I get rid of him? I just don't understand that mindset

Now my +AV block niggled linerat I could maybe consider as not worth his TV, but the strongest player on my team!?

When you get something nice as this it is a shame to get rid of it by reason of team value.

Nuffle should punish people that fire +ST players.

You should go for the flavor of the +ST player.

Block for me. Boring, but keep the guy (relatively) safe and versatile.

Aliboon · Post by **Aliboon** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 6:55 pm

He skilled up last game, but rolled a double...

Is anything else worth getting apart from block? Guard or MB would be nice, but are they worth holding off block for?

Since he altrady has tackle....I would consider giving MB. Or maybe Prehensile Tail. Or Dodge even. Nothing wrong with a S4 blodger if you can get him that far.

Dodge to keep him alive longer or Mighty Blow for shorter term satisfaction for me.
