9 Snotlings on the field

I have this crazy idea for a team - please give me your suggestions.

here's the idea -
7 RR
2 Ogres
11 Snotlings

This is going to be a secondary team, so it's mostly for fun, but I would like to try to win, too.

The rerolls are to keep me alive with throw teammate etc, and just because I can :)

I'm not really sure how I'm going to win, suggestions are welcome :) I'm hoping with so many sidesteps and 2+ dodge rerolls, it'll actually be fairly hard to stop the little buggers. With the occasional ogre to open a door or toss a guy over a blockade.

Thoughts? Like I said, mostly a team just for fun. Maybe a team for guys to play against who've been getting beat up too much - give them some free casualty SPPs :)

Rather than spend so much on rerolls I suggest taking some inducements instead.

If you're looking for a unusual joke snotling team go all snots.

Depends on exactly you're after...

As for tactics, swamp the ball and ball carrier but avoid being in any other players tackle zones.

I've played this team ... its an interesting team to play in league play.

13 Snotlings
2 Re-roll
6 FF

This will give you a TV of 460000

Which means even against a normal starting 1M team you'll get enough inducements to bring Brick, Grotty, and Bertha to the field every game.

Extra inducements beyond that level go for re-rolls and bribes.

Huh, it never occurred to me to simply start my team down in value to get the inducements. That's pretty funny. I don't really want to do it just to get star players on my team, though, that kind of defeats the purpose.

Also, I like the rerolls because I know I'll have difficulty maneuvering the ball with at best 3 agility, and is useful for the ogre's throws (which are fun in and of themselves).

Is it a joke team? Hmm... sorta, but I would also like to see if I can make it work (even a little).
