Queensland Reds 2026

Reds have updated next year's squad online and removed a few of those confirmed departures(Blyth, Smith etc) but still a few players and re-signings that are unclear. All of these below were reportedly off-contract at the end of 2025 but are still listed on the Reds website:

Max Craig
Will McCulloch
Lachlan Anderson
Isaac Henry
Frankie Goldsbrough
Harry McLaughlin-Phillips
Liam Wright
Connor Vest
Sef Fa'agase
Alex Hodgman
Trevor King
King definitively signed on for next year. I'd say Craig would be better off looking somewhere else. Wright and Hodgman would be touch and go I reckon. The rest should roll out for us next year.

I imagine the fact that a lot of those guys played Super Aus (if fit) is a pretty good indication they're hanging around, possibly with deals signed but not announced. There has been some reporting that HMP had already signed on for 2026 for example, though there maybe a release there after Gordon's signing. It might not be across the board, but I think they would've looked to try out alternatives sooner if they were losing some of these guys, particularly at loose head and lock.

Sorry you're right. I couldn't remember who was who after reading their signing a few months ago together.
THP - Nongorr, De luttis, JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen), King, Bloomfield, Slater. Bloomfield may have picked up and long term injury and Slater is years away.
LHP - Ross, Sef, Blake, Hodgman and UYS. With Gibbon retiring and Hodgman never around we're light on here.

FoxSports digging the boot into Carter a bit calling his return to rugby a 'failed NRL stint'.

Yes sure, he was injured and only played 1 NRL game. But by the sounds of it, unless RA were willing to pay his release fee, he would have been given a crack next year by new coach Hannay and could have gone on with it.

Imagine being Edmed, copping that spray from your childhood hero then logging onto instagram and seeing Quade comment that on Gordon's signing. Hey! At least Tane is in the Wallabies squad.

Gordon might have a few sore ribs next year (if his competitors could tackle).

I like the guy but does a 3 year commitment mean much anymore?

He had a league contract for 2026 but here we are....
It means plenty - if he was to leave for a contract elsewhere than RA/the Reds would be looking for a release fee to let him go, as the Titans just received. The guy is clearly committed to the game and playing it for Queensland and Australia longer term.

I don't really think anyone will be holding it against him (Titans included) for leaving that deal early either, not after a very interrupted transition to league and a complete coaching changeover at the club.
