Any player can participate in any kind of contest during a match, even if they do not possess the skill used in that contest. A player who does not have the skill merely misses out on a skill bonus, and has to rely on their raw ability. However, some players have the flexibility to transfer their skills to other positions – they use their worst skill with a -2 penalty, with a minimum of 0. As with Modifier traits, this type of trait can have three levels denoted by + for level 2 with only a -1 penalty or ++ for level 3 with no penalty at all.
#tall-or-small is for defenders who can match up on any size forward. Key position players who can also run on ball are #mobile, and rucks who can do the same are #roaming. Defenders who can zone up to midfield are #spitter, while mids who can drop behind the ball to defend are #sweeper and those who can also sit in the hole to defend against key forwards are #quarterback. Defenders and forwards of all sizes who are #swingman are capable at both ends of the ground. Forwards who attend bounces and other stoppages are #rotations, while mids who #rests-forward get dangerous moving into attack. Smaller forwards who can compete in the air are #aerial-threat, and key position players from either end who can play a half forward role are #versatile. Finally, #pinch-hitter players of all shapes are able to compete in ruck contests.
