Stand Firm! Then Block/Break Tackle in either order.

Take sidestep. It offers a second chance for a crowd push, is more versatile than stand firm even mobilitywise, if the blocker doesn't follow up.

sidestep or stand firm, stand firm has the advantage that you can freely attempt to dodge, sidestep also has advantages (see above); you choose...

Block should be next though

I would go Stand Firm - it's a great skill to stop opposing cages, too.

with frenzy AND stand firm, you can force your way into the middle of his players, pushing one guy around, and then you can't be pushed back out. (tho you could be knocked over ;)) you'll want block on him asap after that, especailly having frenzy

plus stand firm has the added bonus of trying to dodge away safely. you only have a 1-in-3 shot of doing it, but if you want to try... you dont have to risk the turnover.

Stand Firm.
Sidestep is a nice skill but not as useful in a scrum and a scrum is where your Saurus will most likely be. Sidestep is more useful for catchers as they most likely will have 5 or 6 fields to chose from.

Maybe I'm just a big loooooser, but I can't help but think that with Frenzy and +MA you'll get a lot of surprise sidelining of opponents who assume they're "out of range."

OTOH, Frenzy + Stand Firm can get you into a lot of really tight scrums with much less fear of being taken out. Very disruptive.

I'd have taken the MA on a 6-4 (and did on my REBBL lizzie team) but a 2nd double is just to good to pass up.
