ENTER THE COACH (BUILD YOURSELF)

You start as a Human Lineman (or linewoman) with a Niggling Injury that caused your retirement but this team of yours are so desperate you're convinced even with an injury you will put in a better display for the fans.

If for any reason your coach is sent off in game this will also be treated as having rolled a 1 "You're Outta Here!" on the Arguing the Call table. Biassed referees do not impact this.

Starting Stat Line:

Name MA ST AG PA AV Skills Injury YOU 6 3 3+ 4+ 9+ NONE Niggle

You have 10 Coach Points (CP) to decide how to create yourself. You can use the CPs on Stat increases and skills. You may even take additional CP by applying a negative trait. Skills/Stats are limited per Tier as listed below (there is no limit to skills that would normally be available to a Human Lineman if you can afford the skill you can have it).
