so the announcement come out during may, some of the changes maybe that i would like to see would be defender. when measuring to potency of a skill, a good metric i find very useful is if the skill in question is of single acting or double acting. what i mean by this is dodge is a double acting skill as it works in 2 situations, on block dice and when leaving tackle zones. sprint is a single acting skill as it only does 1 thing and that is increase your rush limit by 1. then there are counter skills, dodge and tackle being the most obvious. defender is so bad in my opinion because it doesn't even fully counter the guard skill. defender is a single acting skill vs guard, a double acting skill. as a fix i would suggest making defender counter mighty blow.

a problem i noticed in the entire skill selection is that there is no skill for re-rolling a landing from a throw team-mate action. another change i would like to see would be to sure feet. i generally think sprint at the moment is better than sure feet and i was think a good way to really help the halfling team become more competent of a team would be make sure feet a double acting skill with rerolls on landings and give sure feet to all halflings as a common skill.

That is something I have proposed 15 years ago already 
...but even the house rule committee in our league is opposing this.
but with the more-than-1-RR-per-turn that is not really relevant much more
