Wow, that Thrower really really has sure hands!

Seriously, this looks like a solid team but if I had to guess better geared for offense then defense.

The Guard and Dauntless are good starts to breaking cages but if I was going up against these ladies I would be looking to shutdown the 1 Dauntless and 1 +1 Strength players.

Depending on where these rolls land, I might be hoping to roll one double to add Dauntless and otherwise get a Strip Ball and more Tackle to create better ball pressure.

I agree with Scotty that your main concern should be to pump up your defense. I'd suggest some strip ball, although most of the teams in TR200+ will have sure handed ball carriers. Still, they don't always end up with the ball.

You should probably turn a couple of your ladies into "mini-wardancers" and grab leap. That'll give you a shot inside of the cage without having to dodge into 3+ tacklezones.

Where to take your amazons? Perhaps out for a lairy girls' meal, get them well and truly twatted then off down a local club to bust some inadvisable moves and maybe deck a few guys who start getting lechy...

Seriously though. I'd agree with the bump up your defence call. You've got some decent skills there for getting at the ballcarrier and then getting the ball loose (loving the SH/NoS thrower). I would suggest a few more skills to help put your opponent under pressure in their own turn. 2 or 3 passblockers will work wonders. You've got dodge everywhere so you can get past markers to put tacklezones on a thrower where necessary. Some Strip Ball wouldn't go astray either.

cool, thanks so far.
Now in terms of development so far a squad based team with few stand out players. This has won games so best to continue with plan of TEAM play: or go for a few developed star players with more flair like an elf squad?
