There may have been a state wide power outage in South Australia but it was Sydney where the real emergency was on Wednesday night, with the wives and girlfriends of the NRL coming close to causing a spray tan shortage.
Despite the glistening skin on show, the code's night of nights was a far more subdued event than the AFL equivalent earlier in the week.

NRL Grand Final: What to expect
Dally Ms 2016: WAGs shine bright
The wives and girlfriends of NRL stars dazzled on the red carpet at the 2016 Dally M Awards.
Long sleeves, subtle skirt slits and sheer panels not seen since last season of Dancing With The Stars were the major trends from the red carpet.
Shades of pink and black were also popular making the arrivals hall resemble a remake of Grease.
Here are some Pink Ladies and T Birds who did it well...
BEST DRESSED
TERRY BIVIANO: While her glowing complexion could have lit up Adelaide and surrounding suburbs, The Biv was the olive in this shindig's martini.
ELYSE KNOWLES: The model had a run in with Harambe's cousin judging from this slashed Cappellazzo Couture creation.
PHOEBE BURGESS: The pilates enthusiast went for a deconstructed Sister Mary Clarence vibe in this Sister Act-esque Alex Perry number.
SALLY ROBINSON: Greg Inglis' wife is due to give birth in 11 days. 11 days. SHUT UP AND GIVE HER THE DALLY M MEDAL ALREADY. What a woman.
ERIN MOLAN: The Footy Show host looked smoother than a tall glass of vintage Margaret River shiraz in Diane Lewis Couture.
TARA RUSHTON: Rachel Gilbert's curdled milk dress looked delicious on the Fox Sports host.
MOST CREATIVE
SHEBA WILLIAMS: Got lost on the way to Derby Day or her mate's Mad Hatter's themed Hens night.
TEGAN MARTIN: The former Miss Universe Australia's soft pink Jason Grech gown looked like it was ripped from the largest window dressing of the most expensive display home in Sydney.
NICOLE SLATER: Angelina Jolie's wedding dress has got nothing on this two-piece creation.
But unlike Ange, Nicole (and husband Billy's) kids didn't come up with those prints, she did, and then made Melinda Audesho sew all the flowers into place which took two days.
