As the title indicates, i'm going into a league that is going to be about 10 games. Now seeing FF has little to no effect now this is what I had in mind:
5 Skinks, 5 Saurii, 1 Kroxigor, 2 RR, 4 FF. Seeing the league is only 10 games I figured on starting with the krox due to playoff time he would be more reliable. Input is greatly appreciated. |

I would want 3 re rolls. Lizzies burn rerolls like they are going out of fashion, especially a rookie team. With no ball handling skills and no block = plenty of turn overs. I would go for:
6 Saurus 480
5 skink 300
3RR 180
FF 4 40
Get an apoth 1st and then the krox. |

a coach in our league went with the Krox rather than extra rerolls or enlarged bench and is paying for it
he is finding the team very hard to run through a game due to the fragility of the skinks
in most cases starting the 2nd half with 8 players. |

I am also in a short league and looking for suggestions on how to advance my players. So far two wins in and I have no casualties caused (my sauri knock people down but dont hurt them). 2 skinks have skilled up (one sidestep one surefeet).
What would be some suggestions on how to develop as more skinks (and hopefully some sauri) skill up. Please remember this is a short league and I doubt I will roll doubles (bad luck). |

| The first Saurus that skills up should be break tackle, the second block, the third on frenzy. If you should roll a double, take Dodge. For the skinks first sidestep, then surefeet or catch. On a double take Hail mary pass and then give the other skinks diving catch |

| How about sure hands on a Skink? (Doubles) You now have a reliable ball handler...and one less way to blow Team Re Rolls. |

What he said. Save the rerolls for failed blocks with the Saurus. |

| I like the option that Hail Mary gives. It really is not as useful as sure hands or block on a skink, but it is great to have that threat against opponents and to use it to get the ball away from slow teams. |

I like that one too. I gave Hail Mary to one of my halflings at the Deathbowl, and found it useful (and it terrified my opponents!). Put Diving Catch on a couple of the other skinks and you have yourself a very viable threat! |

I really like that option on skinks because they normally can ball worth anything. But that option opens up a lot and reduces fumbles dramatically 2+ inaccurate pass is a dream for a stuntie trying to throw anything longer than a quick pass.
Normally, I avoid passing at all cost with Lizards. The combination of stunties and no agility from the sauri makes passing too risky.
But on first skill choice for non doubles I love side step, the roving wall of TZ from str 2 players can slow any cage and stop many break aways. |
