ST4 Linerat: Wrestle or Block?

[klauser]

Topic says it all. My ST4 Linerat was on a mission last night, killing two Tomb Guardians and SIing a third (the latter two regen'ed though). This put him at 21spp and I'm wondering if I should go Wrestle or Block (normal skill roll).

The team plays in a perpetual scheduled league with several divsions. My division is pretty mixed, including 2 Dorf sides, 2 Chaos, 2 DE, HE, Flings, Humans, Lizzies.

I personally tend towards Wrestle for improved odds on sack attempts against ball carriers and for clearing a hole for my GRs (esp against ST4 Blockers like CWs etc). The downside is the increased risk of getting fouled to death after Wrestle puts him on the ground. If he survives until Level 4, I would probably go for Tackle or Frenzy (Guard on doubles, which also speaks for Block).

Here is the current roster:

SV - Tackle, Guard, MB
SV - Guard, +AG, (Nigg),
Thrower - Block, Accurate, Extra Arms, KOR

GR °2 - Guard, Block, Side Step, (-MV), (-MV)
GR °3 - +MV, Block, Two Heads, Side Step, Sprint
GR °4 - Wrestle
Linerat - Kick, Dodge
Linerat - Wrestle
Linerat - Block
Linerat - +ST [normal roll pending]
Linerat - rookie x 3 (1x Nigg)

Thoughts?

With armour 7 he is too much value to be put on the ground, I would certainly foul him. Certainly teams like flings would look to foul all the time. So out of those two I would go block.

As Chris said, for the same reason.

I concur with the already expressed opinions, Block.

Dont leave him on the floor use his speed and strength to your advantage, like a Beefy Gonzales. Wrestles for cage crackers, this guys a skull cracker.
