I think the real question is whether it is worth is in terms of TV to have that "blitzer".
Personally, I find DE to be plenty fast for their style of play.
Also, don't take wrestle on a Witch. If you hate the player that much, just fire her, but Wrestle is like begging your opponent to foul her.
My only addition is, for defense, I have found having two linemen with Wrestle and Tackle can be tremendous. Against bashy teams, they put players down with Wrestle and against agility teams they are great safeties. Dodge and Strip Ball are just icing on the cake.
For my team, I have played doubles a bit differently. Blitzers get Mighty Blow, linemen get Guard. Guard is a commitment to me, so once you get one, you need to get it on every double to really make it count.

Wrestle on a Jump Up player who is liekly to be ball hunting is just fine.
Fouling is less effective in LRB5 & 6 and with Jump Up it is a risky tacti if you don't commit a bunch of players to it.
I think Block & Wrestle are good choices.

Re: Cursed Dark Elf Team!
Found this on wikipediaBizarrely all have been my number 4 player - I imagine that none of them want to put that vest on! I've also been very bad at rolling winnings (like REALLY bad)

Number 4 is considered an unlucky number in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese cultures because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death".

Personal style I guess, I usually don't bother fouling unless I have the number for it so most of the the time it looks like the LAPD highlight reel from the Rodney King era on the pitch.PubBowler wrote: Fouling is less effective in LRB5 & 6 and with Jump Up it is a risky tacti if you don't commit a bunch of players to it.
