Team Breakdown for new players?

[Stormlord]

We have several folks in our local area discussing starting bloodbowl.
I am actually trying to save up the $$ to buy the actual box, although i may just download the living rules.

anyways.
would anyone mind doing a breakdown of the different teams and their styles.
I know orks are tough and like to run, but bad at passing?
i assume humans are all-rounders but not great at anything...

but i am sure there are folks out there than can break them down for us ...

much appreciation

Hmm, looks like there`s nobody who can break down all teh teams. So i make a start and describe the two teams i have a little experience with.

The team i am mostly playing are the skavens. I must say that this is great fun because they are really fast. With the gutterrunners you can nearly reach the endzone in one turn, so they are made for quick touchdowns. If you prefer the passing game that´s possible also, even with the fact that you have no real catchers. But i like it to get behind the opponents line and spread my players all over the field so that it´s nearly impossible for my opponent to guard them all.
The ugly thing, if you play skavens is that thye are fragile. Because of the low armour it´s easy for your opponent to take them out of the game, so i always look, that my teamroster is filled to 16 players. This also means, that when your team is getting experience it also get´s a lot of injurys. I had games where i only cut put 10 players on the field because of this. And of course that was really bad luck! 
The ratogre i haven´t tested yet, so i can´t say anything abaout this issue.

The other team i have experience with are the halflings. to describe them is easy. They are weak. They are slow. They have nearly none armour. They can have two treemen.
If you don´t mind loosing it´s really fun to play with them. 

Hope i could helb a bit.
