Where in f**k was the seperation? Kasey Badger should f**k off from first grade rugby league.
It was the right call.

You can't ground the ball with your chest for a try unless the ball is on the ground already.


Try
Try – How scored
3. A try is scored when:–
(a) a player first grounds the ball in his opponents’ in-goal,
provided that he is not in touch or touch in-goal or on or
over the dead ball line.
(b) opposing players simultaneously ground the ball in the in-
goal area provided that the attacking player is not in touch
or touch in-goal or on or over the dead ball line.

Grounding
GROUNDING THE BALL means
(a) placing the ball on the ground with hand or
hands or
(b) exerting a downward pressure on the ball with
hand or arm, the ball itself being on the ground or
(c) dropping on the ball and covering it with the front
part of the body above the waist and below the
neck, the ball itself being on the ground.

The below doesn't apply as it's not a grounding;

AMENDMENTS FOR THE 2023 SEASON​


Grounding the Ball​


Tries will now be awarded if the ball rotates from the hand to the wrist or forearm provided there is no obvious separation between the ball and the hand or arm. The new interpretation will allow further clarity for officials when adjudicating grounding.
