Just rolled a double (3,3)

Make him a SS Guard? I'm not really sure. He is never really in thick of things. What does the forum thing?

+St and 8MV, you may want to consider making him into a missile heading for the ball carrier.... What the best skill for that is..... I'm honestly not sure. Strip Ball? Shadowing? Wrestle?

I'd either go MB or Guard, depending on what you want to use him for. I'd lean towards MB and have him act as your sweeper... but seeing who you based the player on, I'd suggest Jump Up. for when he gets tackled, but before he collapses again. Wink

Diving Tackle.

There is nothing more annoying than sidestep st 3 blodger that you cant shake and cant put down and cant dodge away from. Keep him as a sweeper and pin him on any players that break through.

edit: then go tackle next skill thats where mines going.... bloody elves.

Guard. The biggest thing wrong with Guard catchers is that the ST2 makes them easy to shove around. ST3 makes it a lot better. SS/Guard/Blodge is a nice combo.

Sprint....that way you can chainpush twice to set up the OTS blitz move and actually use that ST3.
(of course that would require someone to have grab)
Allways remeber that human catches are squishey because of their AV7 not thier ST2 or 3....Coaches cannot help themselves when they see a human catcher....they must blitz/PO and then DP boot them...it is a compulsion most coaches cannot resist.

ST3 Guarding catcher...extreme squish meter is pegging out with that combo...he will get the blitz every turn if possible.

i agree. the urge i feel to hit and boot human and high elf catchers is only mastered by the need to surf wardancers, bulls and wolves....

What? + Ag and + MA are golden for human catchers....I would trade +ST for either one anyday of the week.
