stabd firm on a Wild A., worth it ?

Its not a IP.

Only failing to go 1st is an IP.

Well yes as we've always understood it... but if people are going to try and 'dodge' the rules then the rest of the actual skill needs to be read which says that a block MUST be thrown.

failure to throw a block for any reason is failure to obey the rules of a skill and is thus IP/TO

No it isn't.

For example failing to make a GFI roll for example isn't an IP, its a rules violation. You have to do it. Blocking with a WA is just the same.

In addition, if a standing Wild Animal is adjacent to a standing player from the opposing team then they must take either a Block or Blitz action, and throw a block at an adjacent player.

Now, from my reading, no-where does it say that if I use the Blitz I must stay in place then move, just that I throw a block at an adjacent player. In which case, the move I described on the previous page is legal. Of course, if I failed the dodge I'd be prone, so it's a TO anyway.
Then you add in the Stand Firm issue, and that's when the uncertainty comes in. I did blitz the player, just failed to reach him, so cannot block. Now, the WA description doesn't say what to do in this case.

Therefore, using my expert opinion , I suggest we wait a couple or weeks, and the BBRC sould clear this up

Very well.
Which brings us to the point that the WA failing this dodge is agaisnt the rules of the game.

So dodging the WA for a better block can break the rules of the game. If that's not a reason to make it against the rules I don't know what is.

so yes... I aggree with Darkson on this... lets wait for the BBRC.
