sacking niggler in (slightly) advanced Orc Team?

[hpb]

Hey there,
my Orc team was leading our kind of bashy league without any game lost in the first round, then it got a series of 2 games lost one draw after an endless seeming chain of (double) double skull blocks and double 1 Sprints. Due to this it got its first niggler on a lineorc.
Now I´m thinking about sacking him.
I know that with AV 9 hes not in a big danger of noticing it, but as I use him to get hit on the LOS or as an assist I guess I will see him stunned and off the pitch more often than without it.
As he has no skills yet I can afford it to replace him, only would lose his 5 SPP.

Another point is that I´m thinking about filling my roster with another thrower (--> hail mary pass) and a 2nd Gobbo (--> diving catch / sneaky git). As the thrower should come first, with sacking the lino I would not go on to the next level of TV (mine is 1840k right now).

What do you think?

Here´s my team:

Sack him - he's just a waste of space. And you shouldn't need more than 14 players either.

And you shouldn't need more than 14 players either.

well, as for the last games this wasnt true. Against Norse I had 4 Players KO´d all the times and 4 in the casualty box - not 1 of the 8 hurt by a claw-player, just plain 10-11´s all the time...

The exception does not prove the rule.
Those extra 2 players will (normally) just bump your TV for no reason, so you'll be giving up unnecessary inducements and falling foul of SE.

Two things:

1) Darkson is right; you have one too many linemen, IMO. If you need one as a crutch, that's understandable, but if you want to play like a winner, you should build like a winner. So sack this guy.

2) As a general rule, on general principle, don't sack players (especially AV9 players) with niggling injuries.
