The Doubles was rolled by a gobbo without sidestep :)
Block? oh man... people have a habit of rolling open stars against me anyways and with 2 dice to choose from the only "good" that will come out of block is not going down...

Isn't the whole point of goblins NOT to be involved in a block? I try to force the opponent to have 1 block a turn with blitz if possible and for that they'll surely not hit the block guy?

It has been said of me that I am a Blockaholic. I loves me some Block. Early, often and on every team.

That said, in this case I have to vote for Sure Hands. That's where I went with my Goblins (The Gob Shoppe, 10 wins and 11 losses over two seasons with one playoff game...a loss) and never regretted it. It really helps your Goblin offence get going, whatever style you choose - the Troll Throw, the cloud screen, the simple hand-off, whatever.

Goblins eat up so many rerolls with all the crazy stuff they try that another reroll skill is gold.

Dirty Player is also a fine choice. Give 'em da boot!

Wrestle goblin has incredible surprise value, he can -2die blitz surfs very cheaply, he can steal a TZ when he gets blitzed.. If you play to win I'd probably take wrestle & rely on the looney & the trolls for the player removal.. Putting all your doubles to dirty player is kind of expensive too.
