Sorry can't find if this is already been asked:
What happen when a bombardier throw a bomb to the ball carrier? Can he try to catch? Common sense would lead me to think he can't cause he steady have a ball... But common sense ain't rules..
anyone figured out?
Thank you

The ball carrier can catch/intercept and then re-throw the bomb. It's right there in the skill description.

Just for reference:
Bombardier (Extraordinary)
A coach may choose to have a Bombardier who is not Prone or Stunned
throw a bomb instead of taking any other Action with the player. This
does not use the team's Pass Action for the turn. The bomb is thrown
using the rules for throwing the ball (including weather effects and use of
Hail Mary Pass), except that the player may not move or stand up before
throwing it (he needs time to light the fuse!). Intercepted bomb passes
are not turnovers. Fumbles or any bomb explosions that lead to a player
on the active team being Knocked Down are turnovers. All skills that
may be used when a ball is thrown may be used when a bomb is thrown
also. A bomb may be intercepted or caught using the same rules for
catching the ball, in which case the player catching it must throw it again
immediately. This is a special bonus Action that takes place out of the
normal sequence of play. A player holding the ball can catch or intercept
and throw a bomb. The bomb explodes when it lands in an empty square
or an opportunity to catch the bomb fails or is declined (i.e., bombs don"t
!bounce"). If the bomb is fumbled it explodes in the bomb thrower"s
square. If a bomb lands in the crowd, it explodes with no effect. When
the bomb finally does explode any player in the same square is Knocked
Down, and players in adjacent squares are Knocked Down on a roll of
4+. Players can be hit by a bomb and treated as Knocked Down even if
they are already Prone or Stunned. Make Armour and Injury rolls for any
players Knocked Down by the bomb. Casualties caused by a bomb do
not count for Star Player points.
