It sounds like Rodda is pissed off Thorn overlooked him for the Qld captain.
It also sounds like Thorn was right.
TBH these guys are getting some bad advice from their management and should be thinking longer term. So fuck 'em.

Izack Rodda, Harry Hockings and Isaac Lucas have officially parted ways with the Queensland Reds and the group is adamant the Super Rugby franchise had no legal grounds to stand them down after they refused a short-term pay cut.

@antipodean Rodda wanted to go to NSW I assume.
Aust haven't got the depth to lose someone like him after Coleman and Arnold already leaving. Simmons as your no.1 lock.

@Bovidae that story just says they wanted to move and their fluffy bunny manager wants his percentage.
Did ya see this quote?
“It would be wise for the Reds and RA to maintain amicable relationships with these players. The future is uncertain, but we should always have as many players in the tent as possible."Anyone telling another organisation 'it woudl be wise' can take a flying leap as far as I'm concerned. Muppet. From what others posted above, it was a collective contract change ... suck it up lads, or FRO. THere is no negotiation.

FFS WHY? That Reds team had potential to build a dynasty given the average age and talent levels of the squad.
Awww... didn't get the captaincy? Well maybe you just didn't deserve it.

Be interesting to see if the Reds can maintain on-field leadership now that they’re Rodda-less.

In any case, nice to know Cheika is jumping on the Old Boys bandwagon.
I love this crowd who think we should have just stood up a competition with NZ and the Pac Islands + Japan when nobody wants to get in bed with a poisonous, incompetent bunch of crunts.
I saw someone quoting over on GAGR that it was Castle's fault for signing back up with SANZAAR.
