Two players from the Raiders have been disciplined over a hotel scuffle just days out from the season opener in Las Vegas.
According to Nine's Danny Weidler, the pair were involved in a late-night altercation.
It has since been confirmed that the players were Hudson Young and Morgan Smithies.

"It's understood the players were evicted from hotel - partly to do with scuffle and because the hotel couldn't find their names on registered guest list," Weidler said via X.
"That blunder was due to a system outage that left some people waiting seven hours in the foyer to check in."

Ricky Stuart has since confirmed the incident, which occurred on the team's first night.
"I'm aware of this," the coach told The Sydney Morning Herald.
"It happened three days ago. I've dealt with this strongly. It was irresponsible behaviour, I've dealt with this and want to now go about preparing the team for Saturday."

According to reports from the Herald, the players fought in the hotel elevator before being escorted out by security. The pair was in possession of an inflatable baseball bat.
Both players will front media on Tuesday (AEDT) as revealed by Michael Chammas.
They were later allowed to return to their rooms, despite initially being incorrectly taken to one of the Penrith player's rooms at the hotel.
Canberra will take on the Warriors in the second of four games on Sunday (AEDT).
