No the skill description specifically mentions throwing the Ball so it doesn’t work with Throw Team Mate.

Does Safe Throw work with Throw Team-Mate, negating the -1 modifier causing Fumble on 1 and 2 rolls? If yes, would it make throwing a team-mate from within 4 tackle zones only fumble on a natural 1?

OK, I found the one you were referring to.

First I’ve ever heard about that. I don’t believe it has been dropped and the latest rules should have the use of Safe Throw on non natural 1 fumbles. That text is in the version of the Competition Rules Pack that I have which I downloaded from the Games Workshop website.

I just reread Safe Throw and maybe I am missing something but I don’t see the “In addition if the player fumbles….” Was that dropped? It stops after the “interception is canceled.” The first part is word-for-word and I just downloaded it from the GW site to double check that I have the correct version.

You can only use team rerolls during your own turn, so because of that:

1. You can reroll Safe Throw
2. You can’t reroll interception attempts as they don’t happen in your own turn
3. You can use the Catch skill to reroll an interception attempt as it counts as a catch roll and you can use skills during your opponents turn

Hi Coach,

I just wanted to clarify a few things about passing and intercepting:

1. Can you use a team Re-roll for Safe Throw?
2. Can you use a team Re-roll to Intercept?
3. Can you use a player’s Catch skill to re-roll an Intercept?

Thanks.

I think it can be very useful on a dark elf runner at some stage, as it should also combine well in dump-off situations where the opponent manages to position players to intercept the dump off.
Also dark elves main strength is their flexibility. Having a runner with good passing skills doesn’t mean that you have to play a long passing game at all, but it gives you a lot of options for suddenly shifting your running offense from one side of the field to the other with a medium / long pass and flat-footing your opponent in the process.
