The NRL preliminary final between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Manly Sea Eagles has been delayed by 15 minutes, with the Sea Eagles’ stuck in traffic en route to Suncorp Stadium.

The NRL have announced a new start time of 8:05pm (AEST) to allow the team to go through their normal pre-match preparations, back 15 minutes from the original 7:50pm kickoff.
UPDATE: Kick-off for tonight’s Preliminary Final between the @SSFCRABBITOHS and @SeaEagles will be at 8.05pm due to the Manly bus being delayed by traffic.

The Sea Eagles were forced to get a police escort through the streets of Brisbane to the stadium, with the club taking to Twitter to thank Queensland Police for their efforts.
