Similarly the Thrower certainly could do the job of a lineman, but again, he has more interesting things to be doing than purposefully getting hit. A Gutter Runner certainly can do the job of the thrower but they are far better utilized on the reviving end of a pass. Such thinking is reductionist as it doesn’t really take into consideration exactly what your want your players to be doing on the pitch.

Both skills are good, especially on an AG3 player and passing skills are found no where else on your team apart from a double. For 20k more than a Linerat, you can start with pass and sure hands, and gain access to the passing skill tree. While this is certainly true, I still don’t understand the logic. From discussion at the club, there is a feeling that Gutter Runners handle the ball better, assuming you are prepared to use a team re-roll to guarantee this. A few choose not to use a thrower at all. Some coaches use their thrower primary as ball carriers, some use them in a sweeper type role. If I buy a second one I will jazz him up abit. In other words, build a thrower, as… a thrower. When it comes to a thrower I want to be traditional.
