Dragons coach Shane Flanagan warns players to stay disciplined in Las Vegas, relieving debutant Daniel Atkinson of game management pressure during their US trip.

Shane Flanagan has warned St George Illawarra they're on tight leashes in Las Vegas but the pressure will be off Daniel Atkinson to become their game manager on club debut.

The Dragons fly to the US on February 21 as one of four NRL teams featuring in rugby league's third annual opening round at Allegiant Stadium.

Like the Saints in 2026, three of last year's participating NRL teams were based in the notorious party city for their entire stateside visit.
