Wow, that's great!
MA, claw or pro are all very good options. Tackle doesn't synergize that well with tents imo.
I think I'd take pro, then go for either break tackle or grab if he ever reaches legend.

Woah nice, so many options. Perhaps not a good choice but Side Step seems like tremendous fun but then again, I doubt he gets blocked much and he already has Stand Firm.

What's his role? Normally a roadblock right? But if you say he runs after ball carriers a lot then you should probably take the +MA.

Oh my. I normally love pro on big guys, but heck +ma and then break tackle at legend skill is pretty scary.

Tough choice.

Bit more than a roadblock - I tend to frenzy-clawpomb a corner of the cage then pop the beast in there. BT would win me more games in the short term, +MA then BT would win more in the very long term. Pro *might* have an occasional good effect, but only on really stupid, and the %s from earlier make a good case for not taking it.

MA is pointless compared to BT. I normally don't like BT but Dodge makes it much better. Forget about getting him to/planning for legend, it's far too far away.

Diving Tackle!

He would be the ultimate roadblock!

This is one player where I would certainly see +AV as useful. Reasoning is he already has all the skills for an awesome roadblock, and extra armour would practically halve the odds of breaking if not against claw.

The odds of breaking armor is probably lower than losing tackle zone to negatrait. Especially with blodge.

Yes, Pro helps with RS. What's frequently overlooked is that you can use Pro on every single block he makes where you don't knock someone down. Pro makes a blocker much more effective by potentially giving you 4d instead of just 2d.

That said I think I'd take the +ma.

Yeah, that too. But purely analysing the useful availability of the player, pro is superior to armor on the same cost basis.

P.S. I would consider grab instead of the other choices for legend. An unmoveable object who gathers the opposition, is very good and useful tool. That way you could block, follow up, and also provide a direction to your assault. It is a common tactic to mark the beat of nurgle on one side, and attack the sideline on the other side so it takes 4 full turns to move the beast into the "right" direction. That is converted to 1 turn with grab, plus added flexibility at "body heap" situations.
It is also much easier to push another body next to the beast, without the risk of losing it the next turn, as you can grab, don't follow up, thus marking 2 players no matter which direction they are coming from.

Hmm, that is true. He doesn't actually block that much though, often the last of the turn. Break Tackle it is, and then I will see you all at Legend!
