Agile reaches legend
Aptly named player Agile, my slann retriever/passer, has now reached legend. This makes him the first catcher legend ever in [R], and the second on fumbbl.
Gaining the pass block skill makes him even more of an all-rounder. I know good coaches don't really pass much, but the ability to roll 2+ intercepts is so rare I just couldn't let it pass (see what I did there?). Also, slann's sacking ability often invite passing play from agile opponents.

doesn't everyone you play spend all game trying to boot him to death?

He's been mb t blitzed and fouled quite a bunch, and I'm pretty sure he's been an apo from retirement at one point or another, yes.
Most importantly, he either hangs back with the ball pretending to be a thrower, or hides behind linos until it's time to strike. After a sack, he pops in and out, and then usually passes or hands off before his turn is over. This often makes the opponent focus more on where the ball went, and less on where Agile is.
His counterpart 'Splotch' on my other [R] slann did suffer a vengeance foul niggle after he defeated an orc team.

Congratulations! :-)
Does he hold any (top 10) records yet?

Thanks Rabe!
Most of the slann catcher top lists, really.
#1 all-time top star in [R] (#2 across divisions).
#2 active slann passer (#3 all time, #1 is mine)
#10 TD scorer.
#1 highest active passing (#2 all time)
#2 highest all-time rushing
#6 oldest player
The top interceptor list (min.5) is still empty, but I hope to get him there soon. 4 to go!

Awesome guy!

Beware, Faakir is coming to dispute the status as top slann player active.
Good luck and congrats.

Yeah Croixfer, I've seen that Faakir is right on agile's tail. =)
Good luck and see you on the pitch!

Hi The_Sage!
Just met you and your frogs on the pitch in an awesome 2-2 match
Your AG6 guy, Agile, met my ST6 guy, Huge
Except for the fun part that made us roll the double +stat exactly on the player with the right name, it's very hard to catch that damn frog!
You keep him sooooo far from action, that an opponent has to leave the ball and take too big risk of losing the match, to only look for catching him
I had A TON of fun in our match! Cheer!

Agile made his first intercept with pass block in his 4th game. 3 more to go for the top list!
