How to make Rotters a little better.
Seen a few rotters games recently and obviously one of their weaknesess is that they have no apothacary.
What if instead of this they could ignore the first positive niggle roll that they get in the pre match build up.
Fluff wise they are all diseased anyway so are more resistant to illnesses and niggles.
This would mean that Nurgle players could afford a niggle or two in their team and would not lose skilled players quite as quickly while being a long way from game breaking.

LRB 5 and 6 rotters are much improved: Your idea isn't a bad one but I like what they've done more.

Fumbbl follows the LRB rules, so there is no way to improve weak teams. Besides, I would keep a niggled beastman on a rotter team anyway. It's not a team suitable for the strict no nigglers discipline.

Take away aging for nurgle teams... of course that will never happen (and nurgle look alot better in LRB5 anyway).

would be a house rule.

That's pointless (apart from being a houserule).
People might even try to collect Niggles to lower their TS if they can ignore one Nig-failure (since it usually means to ignore them all).
Would make more sense to give them immunity so they can't be niggled. (note that I don't claim this to make a lot of sense - just "more" than the original idea that turns niggle into advantage).
I like the fluff though ;-)

In my opinion, rotters are fine the way they are. I've had three Rotters teams on FUMBBL, combined at 26/13/17, and I'm not a great bashing coach.

Rotters have style and like Norse or Stunty they satisfy the need for underdogs. There are obviously quite some coaches liking to play the underdog (although Rotters are probably way better than stunties and even "good" against elves/skaven).
If you mean that by "fine"- yes, they are fine.
Grats on your record.
Doesn't make Rotters a top team though.
