No, attempting the pass ends your movement.

The rules say a player can’t continue moving after throwing the ball. If I try to throw and use Safe Throw to cancel the fumble (I.e. not pass the ball) can I then continue moving with the player?

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
