Canberra coach Ricky Stuart had made the decision that his son, Jed - a player rising through the ranks at the Raiders - was going to be left out of the squad for Las Vegas.

Stuart's decision, partly motivated by a concern over accusations of nepotism, was met with resistance by some of the club's senior players.

Raiders captain Joe Tapine phoned Stuart at the start of the month to raise his concerns over the coach's decision to not bring his 23-year-old son on the trip. It was followed up by Hudson Young and Jamal Fogarty, who also both approached Stuart about the decision.
