I'm more inclined to go with the former decision (and did for this game) but was curious on more official answers to the argument... any ideas?
I reckon I can answer that. Somewhere it states in the manual you always have to attempt to catch/pickup....but someone better back me up there before you take it as gospel
If you have the Catch skill though you could choose to NOT reroll it.
And in the case where the catch is successful, and the player has the catch skill, one could chose to reroll the catch roll and hope to fail the second time.
A player who has the Catch skill is allowed to re-roll the D6 if he fails a catch roll.

Unfortunately, this is not true:

You cannot reroll a successful catch with Catch.
You can reroll it with a team re-roll though.
