The NRL is expected to analyze southern Sydney after an alleged paramedical reserve bungle caused a 100 -minute delay to its test match against Manly, almost forcing the game to be abandoned.
Manly finally ran out of 34-24 winners in Gosford, with Lehi Hopoate impressing the attack and the young Navren Willett end scoring a double.
The new medium of Rabitoh, Lewis Dodd, helped establish an attempt, but otherwise it had limited opportunities to impress, since Wayne Bennett's era began with few regular students of the first degree.
Sea Eagles striker Taniela Paseka, suffered a suspicion of low -grade shoulder injury in victory, while the usefulness of South Siliva Havili ended the game with a brain shock.
The match was scheduled to start at 3.30 PM AEDT, but, without paramedic at the site at Central Coast Stadium, it was hesitated if it would be launched.
It is understood that a reserve supervision probably led to the problem.

The NRL, which was consulting on the circumstances on Saturday night, did not comment.
The CEO of South Sydney, Blake, Selly confirmed to AAP, the club was investigating the matter.
“We are reviewing the circumstances of the delay at the beginning of the game, and we will comment when the review is completed,” Solly said.
Initially, it was thought that a medical emergency was the catalyst for delay, after a spectator suffered an alleged heart attack in the period before the party.
He had to call an ambulance, with the paramedics who arrived and took the woman to the Gosford hospital.
But, after the treated paramedics left, there were no medications in service on the ground.
Origin clubs are responsible for booking paramedics for matches, with NRL guidelines that require a paramedic of the Intensive Care Unit and another.
The NRL tried to make calls to the NSW ambulance requesting the staff for the game, but they could not guarantee one in the late notice.

After a delay of 30 minutes, a plea was finally transmitted on the stadium speaker, asking that intensive care paramedics be presented in the crowd
After a 30 -minute delay, a plea was finally transmitted by the stadium speaker, asking that intensive care paramedics be presented in the crowd.
A paramedical doctor of intensive care and a doctor of the Intensive Care Unit were presented, and the NRL weighs if the duo could cover the party.
Finally, the game was in advance, after a series of calls related to the NRL hierarchy, Senior medical staff and Football Chief Graham Annesley.
If it is found that a reserve supervision has caused the delay, the NRL has the ability to issue a non -compliance notice of the local club and transmit a fine.
The episode occurs after a similar problem occurred at the NRLW last year in a game at Parramatta's house.
When Saturday's game began, Manly was the best suberminated team.
Hopoate was influential in the period prior to his two opening attempts towards the end of Willett, putting it for the first and making a break in the play before his second.

The Rabbitoh returned late to score a gust of points at the end of the game, but it was too little late.
The extreme partner Raymond Tuaimalo VAEGA also made way for two attempts, with the first the result of a good ball of the midfield Jake Arthur.
Clayton Faulalo scored another, while Hooker Jake Simpkin pressed his claims for the number 9 shirt in the first round against Northern Queensland when he crossed a 20 -meter half -shed race.
Dodd played the first half and would have had an assistance if his external men did not kick.
But the English had some influence when he returned late, putting Declan Casey in the space for an attempt by Bayleight Bentley-Hape when the Rabbitoh put on a lot of points in death.
