BTW, as far as I can recall, you cannot RR an interception with catch bc. it's not happening in your turn.

I looked it up and found something that puzzled me. In the description of RR on page 15 it specifically say that you can use Team RR only on your own turn. When it comes to personal skill based RRs it remains unspecific wheher you have to use them only on your own turn or not. Then in the examles for the Catch skill it mentions the re-roll of an interception.
So, my last post about catch was wrong then.

Anyway, it seems inconsistent to me to allow personal RRs during your opponents turn but forbidding it for team RRs, doesn't it?

Well, it would be logical that a player that is good in catching, is still a good catcher in the oppent turn, so then it's pretty normal a player can use PRR in the oppent's turn. But I am not sure about this.

You could argue the same way for team RRs:
Why should a team which has trained hard, just be able to pull off good moves on their own turn? They don't sleep or forget the training during the opponents turn, don't they?

I always assumed that you may:
1) only re-roll on-pitch (and during the match) actions done by your own players
2) never roll more than one RR for any one action
3) no RR for AV and injury rolls
4) only in your own team turns

Obviously 4 is wrong, I assumed it bc of the consistency of game mechanics and, off course, bc the rules text is not written clearly.

You can use skill rerolls (or Pro) during the opponents turn.

Catch can be used on any catch attempt i.e. bouncing balls, inaccurate passes and of course interceptions.

So dedicated interceptors really want catch as it improves the odds dramatically (basic Lion Warriors intercept 55% of the time).

If you've only got 2 games left with this team take Block.

Block: then only one result on the dice could send him down (unless your facing someone with tackle)
