Younger Team in experienced League

Hey all, I'm playing in an informal league with half a dozen of my friends and I was wondering on some suggestions on how to continue progression of my team. I just found TBB a while ago, and have only posted once, so I thought I'd ask you guys. For a little background, I'm Playing LRB5 Khemri, so my team is really strong, but the problem is that the league is really a heavy hitting one, and most of the teams are more advanced than me.

Here's my Line-up after 4 games:

Mummy 1: Frenzy, MB, Regen (rolled doubles, should have taken block!) 9 SPP
Mummy 2: Guard, MB, Regen (6SPP)
Mummy 3: MB, Regen (2 SPP)
Mummy 4: MB, Regen (0SPP)

Throw-Ras: Block, Dodge, Pass, Regeneration, Sure Hands (23 SPP) - Star Running Back thanks to sure hands.

Blitz-Ras: Block, MB, Regen (14 SPP)
Blitz-Ras: Block, MB, Regen (11SPP)

Skeleton 1: Regen (5SPP)
Skeleton 2: Regen (0SPP)
Skeleton 3: Regen (0SPP)
Skeleton 4: Regen (0SPP)
TV: 1.2 m

Okay, so I've focused on hitting hard, and I'm doing well, I'm 2-0-2 (two wins, two ties) after 4 games, but I've got some serious competition from more experienced teams. There is a 9 game orc and dark elf team that one of my friends runs that are really well developed. The dark elves just got 4 blodgers, and have several movement 8 runners... so they're frustrating to say the least. And the orc team... 7 of their players have block, and 3 or 4 have guard, with a sprinkling of MB. My other friend also started a dwarf team, and after two games has two blodging dwarves... so I'm a bit confused as to what I should take next. Hopefully at least one blitzer and one mummy will skill up, depending on where Cas go (which I'm averaging 4 a game, which has been nice). I'm just not sure... should I focus on block and tackle? Or more denial skills? Any suggestions appreciated!

P.S.- the other teams in our league are another orc team (built for high AV), a Nurgle team, and a halfling team.

Guard, Break Tackle & Stand Firm are common mummy options.

Tackle or Frenzy on the Blitz-Ras.

Spread you TDs around more as your Throw-Ra seems to be doing all the scoring.

Skeles get standard lino skills: Block, Wrestle, Dirty Player, Kick.

Can't bring myself to play Khemri, but my Break Tackle, Block, Guard Troll is flippin' awesome (on my Orc team)....

Yeah, definitely block....
