A\ufeff loophole could allow Roosters<\/a> firebrand Jared Waerea-Hargreaves<\/a> to return from suspension just in time for the club's Las Vegas jaunt next year.<\/p>\n

The Roosters will play the Broncos<\/a> in the American party capital on March 3 as part of an historic double-header to kickstart the season.<\/p>\n

Veteran prop Waerea-Hargreaves looked certain to miss the trip when he was whacked with a seven-game suspension for losing his head against the Tigers<\/a> in round 26.<\/p>\n

That could come in the All Stars game early next year, with Waerea-Hargreaves likely to be named in the Maori squad despite not being available to play.<\/p>\n

If that happens, his seven games would be up and he would theoretically be free to line up for the Roosters in round one in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
