If it had been Victory v WSW the FFA would have either delayed the game 2 hours or postponed it.

Probably. FFA's own heat policy states that "a match may be delayed or postponed when the WBGT reaches 28 degrees Celsius"

Apparently the Nix asked for the game to be delayed according to news reports. I'm guessing Adelaide didn't ask.

Does anyone know what the temperature, as measured by the WBGT was?

At 39 degrees air temp, with the humidity around 50% then WBGT is calculated at just under 33 degrees (according to google).

at least Adelaide is a "dry heat" While playing in close to 40 degrees is insane,  playing in 32 or 33 in Brissie at 80% humidity would probably be worse in terms of player comfort.

Just figured out what they really needed was the 12Th Man and his "Scrotom-meter" to measure the player comfort level.
