At half-time, officials were then forced to go onto the pitch and look for Levi's missing teeth.
During the break, former NRL star Mick Ennis told Fox League: "NRL officials are currently on the ground looking for Danny Levi’s teeth."
In the second half, Smith updated viewers, saying: "We had NRL officials out there at the break looking for at least one tooth out there on the turf at GIO Stadium.
"They might be out there again at full-time if they didn’t locate it. Looked to be the case that they came up empty."
