Why Are General Skills so Rubbish???

I've got a Block,Tackle Skaven Lino and so I have the choice of:

Dirty Player
Kick
Pass Block
Pro
Shadowing
Strip Ball
Sure Hands

I already have a kicker in the team, I'm not a fan of DP with so many AG4 GR's and a Surehands Thrower i dont really need Sure hands. Pass Block seems a bit limited and Shadowing is not very useful. That leaves Pro which i've never really valued much

Anyone got any suggestions??

if you got a block/tackle lino, then give him stripball. Your storm vermin arent always free to hit the ball carrier

I agree, for a skaven lineman shadowing is great but if you dont like it strip ball is always nice to get the ball.

I actually kicked one unaged block,tackle,shadowing linerat (when I was young Wink) just because I wanted my TR back low and I didn't consider him very useful. Didn't regret that back then. Just now it seems weird.

It's really not that rubbish.
Shadowing and then Pass Block. Makes a nice defence Lino out of him. Pass Block the catcher and follow him if he really catches the ball.

Lot of good suggestions already here, but you might also want to consider a second kicker. Little furballs tend to die quite easily so might be nice to have an extra Beckham around when the first choice bites the dust (or is KO'd etc).

Apart from all the other suggestions:
-Strip Ball then Sure Hands (or Big Hands on a double)
-If you really don't know and think it is all rubbish... Pro gives "half a reroll", useful even when your team lareaedy has 8 rerolls.

Or:

Another kick perhaps? Kickers die. If kickers are skaven linemen, they die at the speed of light.

If you really think General Skills (like block?!) are "Rubbish," then I suggest you stick to goblins, halflings, and lizards.
You will quickly gain an appreciation for those "Rubbish" skills.
