Catch and Kick-off

This came up and was curious other peoples opinions.

Can a player use his catch skill to catch the kick-off, before it bounces. LRB is unclear about kick-offs and such, but the catch skill specifies where it can/cannot be used. We said no, since it's not a catch, but it could be considered a catch depending on your point of view.

Team Re-Rolls and the Kick-off Table
You may not re-roll the result on the Kick-Off table with a team
re-roll. In addition, subsequent rolls from Kick-Off events such as
the D3 roll for Brilliant Coaching or D6 for Riot may not be rerolled.
A team re-roll may not be used for any catch roll when the
ball lands: however, players may use the Catch or Pro skill to try
to re-roll the catch roll.

We had the same situation lately and we ruled that catch can be used.
Would be the same with extra arms and diving catch (<-this is in the rules).

Thanks guys, totally missed that part in the LRB, must have been reading another section. Burned a re-roll for no reason, oh well, still won. Good to know for next time.
