They changed it last year didn’t they? Don’t have to re-grip as long as you get a hand on it before it touches the ground.
Maybe, I can't find much on it.

This is the 2020 rules https://www.nrl.com/siteassets/operations/documentation/nrl_laws_interpretations_2020.pdf

Under those rules, it's not a try.

The international rulebook for 2023 doesn't seem to have any details on what constitutes regaining possession: https://www.nrl.com/siteassets/operations/the-game/nrl-international-rules-book-2023.pdf

This might be what you're thinking of https://www.nrl.com/news/2023/01/12/no-new-rules-for-2023-season/

The problem is that you have these skinny incel white boys in the bunker who need 2 hands to pick up a footy. They don’t understand that these islanders can easily hold a ball with one hand facing down.

Yeah and it’s a shit way to do things and it’s never been clearer why than this one.
Yeah I don't disagree, just pointing out I think it was the correct call under current rules.
