+AG doesn't help, as picking up the ball with ag1 or ag2 is equally shitty (and should only be done if you can take the turnover and the opponent can't snatch the ball from you).
Break Tackle is nice... as a third skill. Block was the best option, imho, ymmv. |

Well, AG 2 is significantly better than AG 1 (3/4 rather than 5/9 with a re-roll is a pretty big difference). Anyone who's played with or against Chaos Dwarves knows how effective fast-moving AG 2 ball-carriers can be. Lizards should be keeping a lot of players around the ball at all times in any case, since handling errors are commonplace on Skinks as well.
And with ST 5, once he's got the ball, how are the opposition going to get it off him? It's a daunting prospect indeed for most teams! He'd score (or even pass!) quite easily to gain SPPs, and quickly (assuming no Ageing) get Block/Sure Hands/Break Tackle to complete the package.
Also, AG 2 is worth having even if you get Break Tackle as well, since BT can only be used once per turn. With AG 2, you will more often manage to make an initial dodge away without needing Break Tackle, enabling you to save it for that cage-breaking dodge later.
If short term competitiveness is the priority for some reason (tournament team, say), then I can understand the decision to take Block. Otherwise, it seems an opportunity missed to me. |

Also theres always the chance this guy could of become a fumbbl legend . What if he rolls 11 next time ? Its unlikely , but if it happened you have just missed out on a st5 ag3 non big guy uber blitzing death/scoring machine |
