Overview
- Canberra Raiders players Hudson Young and Morgan Smithies were involved in a physical altercation at their Las Vegas hotel after a night out.
- The incident stemmed from a hotel system malfunction that left one player without a room, leading to a dispute between the two teammates.
- Hotel security briefly removed the players from the premises, but they were later allowed to return after the situation was resolved.
- Initial concerns over a potential weapon were dismissed when the object in question was identified as an inflatable baseball bat.
- Both players are expected to face the media and remain in the lineup for the NRL season opener against the Warriors at Allegiant Stadium this weekend.
