Hi guys

Hope you're all having a fab Wednesday.

What skills do people usually give a ball-carrying Dwarf runner?

I have a Dwarf team with 1 runner who I'm using as a safety/ball carrier whilst I get another. He has wrestle. I'm aiming for two runners.

leader, block, kick off return, dodge on doubles, any stat (take +AV as +MA)

Fend possibly later.

Tackle is nice as well on Runners for safety duty.
Even if the team doesn't lack Tacklers, Runners are the fastest players and suited to chase opponent Dodgers.

First runner should get block. Second runner could be a wrestler, but he may also get block at some point.

Yeah I'll keep a roster with 12 players and use either a wrestle runner or a ball-carrying runner depending if I'm on offense or defense.

Block, Kick Off Return, Strip Ball
If no +AG, double for Dodge or +ST after that, retire and keep cycling til you get one

This will seem to be weird advice, but why not get wressle on another player.
Yes it means that player has Wressle and block.
But it means as a sacker, he can be more effective.

Naturally if you are talking a Troll slayer, Juggernaught or strip ball would be a better option. As with Frenzy, you can just block again.

But I could see it being useful on a Blitzer after strip ball perhaps. Sadly with Dwarfs you have that whole low mv thing so a mv5 player really can't blitz too far away.
IMHO, better to have an AV9 sacker on the ground then an av8 one.

Nerves of steel and dump off are great ball carrier skills. Leap on a double, followed by dirty player. It'll be just like that incident when in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table."
