- Couple spent two nights in hospitalÂ
Sydney Roosters NRL coach Trent Robinson and his wife were airlifted to hospital following a gas bottle explosion.
It’s understood the three premiership coach and his wife Sandra were cooking dinner at a property in the NSW Hunter Valley on Monday night when a barbecue gas bottle exploded, Nine News reported.
The couple suffered burns to their arms and were doused in cold water immediately.
Ambulances and the Westpac Rescue helicopter attended the property, which is understood to be owned by former NSWRL administrator John Quayle.
He and his family were not injured in the incident.

The Westpac critical care medical team airlifted the couple to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle.
‘Trent’s wife was kept there for a night and Trent was kept there for a couple of nights because when there are gas injuries, monitoring of the lungs needs to be taken care of,’ senior reporter Danny Weidler told Nine News.
The couple have since returned to Sydney and are now recovering at home.
The Sydney Roosters are yet to comment on the matter.

Robinson has been at the helm of the Roosters since 2013 and had led them to three premierships in 2013 and back-to-back in 2018 and 2019.
He guided the Roosters to a top four spot this season before they bowed out in the preliminary final against Melbourne Storm.
