Roosters head coach Trent Robinson is currently recovering after being air lifted to hospital, following a shock accident.
Robinson and his wife were at the house of former NRL administrator John Quayle when the incident occurred, which left them with burns to their arms and requiring medical attention.
They were taken to hospital, but have miraculously escaped any major injury.

It was a cooking incident that saw the current Roosters coach hospitalised, taken from the Hunter Valley to John Hunter Hospital.
"We were just having a barbecue and about an hour after we’d eaten, a gas smell was there," Quayle told SMH.
"Trent checked the knob, the knob ignited and it went off. They are both OK. Naturally, triple-O was called and they were very good. We’re in a pretty secluded area, the ambulances came straight away.
"They were treated straight away with cold water and cold showers while the ambulance attendants treated them. To make sure everything was correct, a helicopter [was summoned].
"They were taken to Josh Hunter for a precautionary examination. Sandra was kept overnight, Trent was kept for two nights. They are both home now, they are OK and that’s the most important thing.
"The services were so good, from the ambulance to rescue to the hospital. To see that reaction at a rural property was really first class. We are certainly happy about that.
"Trent, naturally being Trent, didn’t want any fuss or anything said about it, which is understandable.
"He didn’t want anyone concerned."
