Good to see that you turned your luck around!

I don't know the stats of the warrior who died, but I would be cheering if I
got this rollup!

Hell yes!

What you could do:

9-10-7-21-21-9-7
This guy has some serious numbers in the wit/will dept.  If you had 11 deft,
you'd be set, but since you don't, I'd go basher.  Unfortunately, you don't
have the 15 st that a basher would need, so I'd say don't go with this
setup.

11-10-7-17-17-11-11 or 11-11-7-17-17-10-11 or 10-10-7-17-17-12-11
A decent waste (wall of steel), lunger, PL, PS, slasher.

9-10-7-21-17-9-11
This would be a decent PL, PS, or slasher (right David? :-)).

9-10-7-17-21-9-11
Good lunger or PL.  You're a new manager, right?  Make this guy, and make
him a lunger.  They get the best initial ratings in the game, they win a
lot, and this one is -very- good and survivable as well.  I would be
suprised if he didn't start expert in attack.  Maybe more.  He has excellent
potential.  Just do it.  Thank me a year from now.

Hope this got to you in time.

John
