This is why I do not start with a thrower. By the time my 1st thrower hits the pitch, I'm done with this quick pass (+1 SPP) routine because the natural selection process has already skimmed my lineelves. This is why I go sure hands first.   I’m very fan of that as well Coach on a rookie team. This is why I do not start with a thrower.

Either works fine though so it is down to personal taste.

After playing them extensively, I do think that taking sure hands as your 1st skill is the best way to go. The main reasons are: You will fail that 2+ roll to pick-up the ball on offense. While it's not a big deal when having 11 players on the pitch, it may put you in a bind when you are outnumbered (and you will be). Any stat increase is a great combo with sure hands letting you choose whether you wish to develop the guy as a defensive or offensive player. Accurate is a solid choice as 1st skill, but considering the thrower's mobility, you can do without it early on. I don't start with a thrower however on long leagues. I'd rather have lineelves get the SPPs first. Throwers are my 2nd purchase (starting with 2 dancers and buying APO 1st). Wood elf is my all time favorite roster.
