Special rule: Catch of the Day

Once per half, if Standing and starting within 3 squares of a loose ball, roll a D6: on 3+ he gains possession.

On the pitch

Rodney Roachbait is a gnome receiver priced below most linemen. Catch re-rolls a failed catch, Diving Catch lets him go for a pass landing a square away, and On the Ball moves him three squares once a pass is declared. Wrestle lets him pull a bigger player down with him. Once a half, from within three squares of a loose ball, he takes possession on a 3+ instead of rolling to pick it up.

Seventy thousand is the lowest star price on the list, and Gnome coaches can afford him beside a second inducement. He is a ball-recovery tool for teams that drop it often, which describes every Halfling and Gnome side, and a receiver for a Wood Elf thrower in the Woodland League. ST 2 and AV 7+ mean he goes down to a shove, and Loner (4+) on a 70k model is a small matter.
