I was going to take Sprint but Nuffle smiled upon me and gave me pause.

Tackle? Guard? Strip Ball?

As boring as it is, I'd say Fend. He's your ball carrier, and fend is really the only double that's going to make him better at that.

Dauntless, strip ball, all look great, but probably on another skink. This one was made to take the ball and run, and sidestep fend is a great feat to have on a carrier.

My 2 cents.

Skip it for sprint.

Unless you really think you can use a mobile guard. Which would be a solid choice, but many will say it will just get him killed faster.

+1. He has no skills to become your sweeper. Giving him tackle, dauntless or strip ball will take him away from his natural duties and put him more often in the line of, well, getting killed. Plus, none of those skills is good enough on their own for him.

Guard is kind of the same. To make good use of the skill he'll need to get in touch with several more strong opponents. A sure road to the grave for a stunty. Plus, if you need more guard with 6 sauri and a kroxigor to secure your ST dominance, you might be doing something wrong.

Sprint or Fend should do the trick. The first will help him score more often (which is his natural job), the second would help him survive longer. I'd pick the second, because good positioning will make Sprint moot most of the time.

I know most will disagree with me, but I'd go for Hail Mary Pass.

Lizardmen are a very fast team and can get quite a bit of mileage out of it: if you ever find yourself in a critical position, move a skink forward, screen him with a few other players and throw the ball down the field.

Second and third options would be Fend and Sprint, yeah, but Fend means he's being hit and Sprint is a regular skill for him. Dauntless may be also interesting to blitz his way out.

Leader could be a good choice as well

You forgot Thick Skull!

Well, it is likely to be his last skill, so I would consider Sprint as well. Else, I would probably take Tackle or Strip Ball. MB could be really fun as well, but with 7 S access players already...

I'm in agreement with Macabeo. HMP for shits and giggles; fend is nice but you don't want that skink getting hit, period. I'd also suggest Leader if you don't already have it.

Leader is a good shout. Kick could be an option seeing as it's very hard for Saurus to give up a skill for it.
