Keeping a Niggler in [B]
Chet Chasepebble, star Dorf runner, aged on his last skill roll. I generally get rid of nigglers, but with +ST and Dodge, this guy's won many games for his team. So I'm leaning towards keeping him.

You can easily afford to replace him, so unless you feel ok with using your apot on him the times he niggles out I would fire him.

Impressive w/t/l record, considering the lack of rerolls. I think it's worth keeping the player on, although with that TR/TS you may get nailed by Virus.

Thanks for the input. Virus is a risk, but the niggle gets me a ~7TS discout from the scheduler to mitigate it.
Zero rerolls is an experiment to see if they are worth their TS cost. The cash is held in reserve to replace fallen players since the roster is only 12 deep.

Why do you give your dorfs the 'orcish' accent, when talking 'in character'?
'Enuf' and 'talkz' are typical for orcz and goblinz

Generally keeping one niggler in [B] seems ok as you get a constant 1/6th TS discount on him that would balance out over time for him missing 1 in 6 matches on avg (don't apo him when that happens).
In this particular team where you only have 12 players and need every one I think you are better off retiring and replacing him.

0RR's has been already explored, and is borked. According to the TS formula 0RRs 15 skills = 2 RRs 0 skills. All it takes is a skilled coach, and with an advantage of 15 skills you hardly need RRs anymore. So further "testing" I would consider just as good as cherrypicking.
Back on topics: Nigglers in B ftw! I'd keep him without a second thought :)

He's pretty great but I'd replace him unless you are prepared to apoth the niggle. Personally I would keep and apoth the niggle when it crops up, certainly when you have the spare cash to risk that.
0RRs is borked but its not as borked as you might think.... certainly its something which is worth exploring properly so we can cost it properly in the future.
