When he is a Khemri thrower.
Double five, so move? Nah? Dodge? Tempting.
He already has regen, pass, sure hands, block, dump off.
Can't believe I can never roll plus ag for these guys. |

I'd take Dodge. Sure Feet wouldn't be a bad investment, either. Better than MA +1. But Dodge is almost certainly the way to go.

Probably dodge, but Nerves of steel would be a useful combo with dump off - just have to catch the ball then  |

I would go for dodge and turn him into an almost decent runner. All you'd need then is that illusive AG +1 so you can pick the ball up  . |

Forgot about Nerves of Steel. Not a bad call at all when combined with Dump Off. I still think Dodge will prove more useful because it will help keep your player upright. But I knew I was forgetting a decent trait option.

Passing skills (Strong Arm, Nerves of Steel) are pretty useless as not only is it still a big risk to throw, you don't have anyone who can catch.
Dodge is a possibility, but given that you don't have much (any?) on your team he's just going to attract the tacklers anyway.
Sure Feet, IMO, isn't as good as +MA - because you've got plenty of TRR.
I'd take the +MA because your team is chronically slow, and anything that speeds it up a bit is a big advantage. |

+1 ma means I have 3 move 6 guys. However I also only have 2 games to play with no play off chances.
1 game against Chaos Dwarves and one against the beastmen.
Does this change anything? |

Personally I would still go for dodge. Yes he will be a target for tackle players, but he should not be exposed to them. They should have to fight their way through 4 Mummies and 2 Blitz-Ras to get to him. (You do have 4 Mummies don't you?)
Even with MA 6 he will still be woefully slow so I really don't think that will help you much myself. Also, against those last 2 teams MA 6 is not going to be decisive, but having a blodge runner with dump off and pass could well be. And you don't want to be running up field leaving all those Mummies behind unless you're really desperate. |

I like the MA+1 since it's an otherwise slow team.
You can hope for lucky dice on dodging, GFIs etc. You can never compensate a lack of movement with dice!
And do not only think of running up field, think of defense, too. Someone has to be your safty, and with only e will fit better than yor blitz-ra (especially since he has sure hands, too). On defense you might run down the field and leave all those mummies behind more often than you want to. Even against beastmen! 
Some totally different suggestion: I saw he is your TD maker. What about sidestep? Dodging away is not really an option with AG2 (desperate measures), so better 'field position' might help a great deal and force your oponent to think twice about placing his other guys.

I've always favored Sure Feet over MA +1. The extra square of movement granted by MA +1 is a sure thing, and the extra square granted by Sure Feet is only 97% likely; score one for MA +1. But that next square of movement is much more solidly in the corner of Sure Feet. Using your Khemri Thro-Ra as an example, here are his odds of moving 7 squares without falling over or using a TRR:
* MA +1: 83%
* Sure Feet: 93%
Granted, the MA 6 player can move an 8th square, but this is tempting fate. And you won't always have a TRR handy. On the flip side, I always think of my Sure Feet players as "MA + 2" players. It just seems automatic, especially if I pass the first roll.

I agree about sure feet vs +1MA.
Even if you get burnt occasionally, rolling 1 & 1, it shouldnt stop you doing it.
Statistically, it wont happen that often. --- Also, in this case, it would allow you to only use 1 thrower at the back in the middle to recieve the ball --- if it does end up near the sideline/endzone, you wont need to burn a TRR to
GFI to get to the ball. (I play Orcs so this is familiar to me).

A Khemri team is in our league --- I think he has played 7 or maybe 8 games, --- made all of 2 completions.
On the other hand his thrower has like 6 TDs.

If it had been one of my Khemri Thro-Ra's I will give him dodge, this because in my team they end up doeing most of the scoring in the entire team. I know this is a weird fact but hé their the first to pick up the ball, why not keep it cause to givie it away or pass it is not always the safest option. I'd go for Dodge even if it was just for safety....
Good luck handing out the skill.
