This is especially useful if you have a rather potent blocker who you want to keep feeding opposing players to, or perhaps a very strong player of yours who is equipped with tentacles. These extra blocks may clear opponents off the pitch quicker and also aid in the development of your own players as well.

You can now push players back into base contact of your team mates in situations where before you would not have been able to. Grab will also provide your players with more available blocks if you so wished. The added ability of being able to have greater choice of where to move opponents when you hit them, will make caging easier, as you can open up more space to move your players through without needing to dodge.

This in turn narrows it down to the bashing teams who are most likely to use a grinding cage offence. As it is a strength skill the main candidates to take it are going to be players who have normal access to strength skills.

A player with this skill uses his great strength and prowess to grab his opponent and throw him around.
