The lookalike WAGs of Canberra Raiders' Vegas bad boys Hudson Young and Morgan Smithies that are just as inseparable
Published: | Updated:
NRL stars Hudson Young and Morgan Smithies have been caught in a shocking Las Vegas bust-up – and now it's been revealed their lookalike girlfriends are just as inseparable.
The Canberra Raiders duo fronted the media on Monday to apologise after a bizarre hotel altercation just days before the 2025 NRL season opener.
Their club confirmed the pair had been sanctioned over the incident, which reportedly stemmed from a room mix-up.
The fight, which took place inside an elevator, happened after a night out on Thursday.
Reports claim the scuffle involved an inflatable baseball bat.
The chaos escalated when one of the players accidentally hit the emergency button, setting off the hotel's security system.

Despite the clash, the teammates insisted they remain 'best mates'.
Adding to the drama, their near-identical girlfriends, Kelsea Peck and Tara Stoddart, have been holidaying together in Los Angeles.

Kelsea, who has been with Young for four years, was the first person he called after securing his NRL debut.
On Monday night (AEDT), Peck posted a snap on Instagram alongside Stoddart, confirming their tight bond.
