He did 8 casualties without needing Mighty Blow, so I'm not sure if this is the right third skill for him or not, but I feel the Pub needs a bit more hitting power to encourage the opposition to score quickly and give the ball back to us.

13 games remaining after he got to 31 SPP, so the question becomes whether we sack him and replace, or if he turns out to be valuable enough to retain past redraft...
