Also, how are you ever going to spitefully pull out a tie with a OTTD if you don't have a troll and goblin? |

Good point. Although i will need a Gobbo for that. And on an orc team they see to be just fodder |

Personally I'd say do the above, bar the firing the troll. Until you more acquainted just tend to use him as a road block and only block when absolutely necessary or you get the 3D blocks. |

Honestly, the loss of TZs on a really stupid roll make it seem like even having 3d6 blocks available isn't good enough to make it an automatic choice. |

They are fodder - 40k worth, and a bargain at that. As a mobile Assist, as one more TZ on defense, a mobile(!) cage-corner on offense, to foul toward the end of your first drive, to mark that ClawPomber for a turn (or more, if he survives), as Diving Tackle annoyance, to stunty-dodge thru traffic for the score or blitz or scoop, to possibly roll Doubles or +Stat and then become real.
Lots of coaches use them as an early 12th man, for the foul and/or emergency ballcarrier.
And OTS threat if you have a Troll.
They have their uses. |

And never underestimate the power of taking down an enemy with TTM. Or the laughs when it's the Goblin who bits the dust |

Troll is the best big guy. End of storeh.
Gobbo on Orc team is great. He's also a decent secondary carrier. (Ma 6, Dodge). Should be 12th or 13th player and gives the team great flexibiilty.
Obviously a gobbo shouldn't be part of an 11 man squad. |

Troll is fun, keep the troll. He may skill up well and become great. |

The troll is great value but surely the Krox would argue with which is best. |
