A player with this skill will do anything to get his target off the pitch while fouling, unfortunately for him this also means he is easily spotted by the ref.
When a player with this skill makes a foul action the player may reroll the injury roll. However, if this skill is used and the injury result is KO or worse the fouling player is immediately sent off, even if a "Get The Ref" kickoff result is in effect.

I invented this skill because currently in LRB 5 it is very hard for the soft teams to take out a key high AV opposing player. In LRB 4 Dirty Player could be used to achieve this but that option is almost gone now. This should give soft teams a bit more options at getting that key player out.

Or maybe it would used by Khemri teams to trade cheap linos for key positionals?

The thing I miss from LRB 4 is the opportunity to foul for a Stunned result. I'd like to see a skill that reduces the chance of sending off but only allows a best result of stunned.

hmmm, good point

Most "soft" teams have AG access. Make it an AG skill instead.

Blatant Fouler

Just as Piling On, but when you foul. If youre fouling result isn't good enoght, just place the fouling player prone and reroll the foul. Either armour och injury rolls.

Add that you get sent off if either the original or re-rolled AV or Inj is a double and we might have a skill.

But again, a skill like this would be much more interesting IMO:

Low Blow (General Skill)
There isn't much worse than getting a spiky boot in the most sensitive of areas. If this player fouls and fails the Armour roll, you may roll another D6. On a 4 or more the player has hit the target right where it hurts, counting him as stunned.
