Ambulances and a rescue helicopter attended the scene for critical care with the pair doused in cold water quickly after the accident.
They were airlifted to John Hunter Hospital where Sandra was released after one night of medical supervision, while Robinson was kept there for several nights to monitor his lungs.
They have since been discharged and are now recovering at their home in Sydney.
Quayle and his wife were not injured in the accident.
Robinson, 47, has been the coach of the Roosters since 2013, leading them to three premierships.
His side finished 3rd this season and lost in a preliminary final against the Storm.
