Round 1 in Las Vegas is in the books – but how much did the referees really influence the results?
In this episode we break down the biggest calls from the Vegas double‑header, whether they genuinely changed the games or just gave everyone something to blow up about, and why the Dragons might’ve been the quiet winners of the weekend.
We also look at what each club actually took out of the trip: combinations, branding, Vegas week off‑field benefits and whether this thing is becoming a genuine launchpad for a season instead of a distraction.
