Normal: Block, Kick Off Return, Fend, Nerves of Steel.Throwers also have lower armour than their Orc team mates which does perhaps weaken the team’s ability to get a player advantage during a drive as the Thrower will get targeted for removal by opponents. The other issue is that Orc teams don’t have any recognised player to be the receiver, you can use Goblins or Blitzers to do the role but don’t expect amazing things from them. The downsides are that the Throwers are fairly slow at only MV5, which isn’t great for moving the ball around fast or covering the pitch while carrying the ball, but as they usually sit in a cage this shouldn’t be a big deal. This can stop the team from being one dimensional. They also have passing skill access and so can be built to move the ball around the pitch with greater ease and distance the more they develop (if you choose that route). Both are rerolling skills so save on team rerolls as well and by using an Orc Thrower to pick up the ball, it frees up the Blitzers to do what they do best. Orc Throwers have a few uses on an Orc team, firstly they add the Sure Hands and Pass skills which helps with both picking up the ball and moving it around the pitch. So Orc Throwers means you can play the team without just focusing solely on playing a hitting caging game (although that is what they are best at). Khemri and Dwarfs spring to mind, Norse perhaps can but their low armour means they don’t usually like games of attrition. ![]() There are a couple of others that do but typically they have no real options for a target to pass the ball too. Most bashing teams don’t have access to Throwers, or players with passing access and this ability sets the Orcs apart.
