The second installment of the NRL's showpiece event in Las Vegas kicks off with the Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos going head-to-head at Allegiant Stadium.
The Broncos suffered grand final heartbreak last year against Penrith and will now start the long journey back to top with a tricky opening round clash against Trent Robinson's men.
The Chooks failed to impress throughout much of 2023 before a late surge got them into the finals, so they will be hoping to get off to a far better start this campaign.

Brisbane have lost the key trio of Herbie Farnworth, Kurt Capewell and Tom Flegler yet have elected to promote from within while the Roosters went to the market to recruit Dom Young and Spencer Leniu.
The English international won't play in Vegas after suffering a neck injury in the trials, while Walters will be sweating on the fitness of Brendan Piakura after he picked up a knee injury in the Pre-Season Challenge.
