How's this going to change? I got an email back from fanatic saying that it will be changed but I wonder how? any leagues testing a new rule?

its most likely to be changed back to the old 3rd edition but we won't know for sure until october when the rules review happens

It definatly needs to be changed back but untill it is I will continue to abuse it

how about changing it to deciding to use it before the Block...so you could push the opponent back but still end up on your ass.

That IS the 3rd ed version.

I thought 3rd ed was decide to use it before rolling AV dice?

I belive that is how it is. Changing it to before the block I think is to much. It worked fine in 3rd editon and was only abused when combined with jump up. I don't know why it was ever changed.

Iirc it was changed to bring it line with the "choose to use skill after dice roll" rule.

i was just thinking that before the block roll would save some of the low av teams. I just see norse blitzers wtih jump up just going crazy with piling on like they do right now.

Hey, that's what they're supposed to do!

We house ruled it, so you must chose PO before av-roll: http://www.arosbb.dk/default.asp?p=ru#48

So did we...or I should say we never switched to the new rule for PO.

Is there anything similar with diving tackle in the pipes ?

No change to DT is in the pipes, from what I've heard. It's a borderline skill as is, and it shouldn't get nerfed.
