Doubles on a Saurus?

After discussins my friend has decided to go for BLOCK in our perpetual league.

Either Block or Break Tackle are very solid choices for Sauri, even on Doubles. The only other skills I would be considering are:

Jump Up (handy, no way, needs an Ag roll)
Leader (somehow I naver have a lack of rerolls, so no)
Sprint or Sure Feet (I would never skip Block or even Wrestle for that)
Side Step (Nice, especially with Block/Guard, but not as a first skill)
Dodge (Nice to develop with Break Tackle, but again you want them the
other way around)
Diving Tackle

I got one Diving Tackle / Block Saurus, and it is very handy against Agility teams. Team up with one Diving Tackle Skink and only skilled or lucky Catcher-types can get away, whereas normally you need 3 or more guys to detain them.

Again, I can imagine taking Diving Tackle, Dodge or Sidestep, but only on Sauri already having Block, or maybe when it is the 6th Saurus to skill up.

Cheers!

Block all the way, seems to me, you find yourself feeling obligated to use the double roll, even though your team would benefit the most from a different use.

Well, I have use for a Wrestle Saurus as well.
Wrestle / Strip Ball gets the ball from any non-Sure Hands player (double skulls excluded obviously).
