Based on this from last week, I doubt he'll be heading to the Reds...
Brad Thorn has been riled by the prospect of Izack Rodda's Australian rugby return less than a year after he left the Queensland Reds over a pay dispute.
... Izack Rodda’s departure from the Reds over a pay dispute did not still well with his former Queensland coach Brad Thorn.
"It was disappointing when it happened and disappointing to hear that [he may be back] as well, less than 12 months after the situation occurred," Reds coach and former international lock Thorn said.
"Us at Queensland Rugby wouldn't agree with it [his immediate return].
.... "You don't dislike that person, but the whole game suffered here ... it was hard yakka and a lot of people made sacrifices, so that doesn't align with our values."
I also reckon Thorn might be bullshitting a little here:
But the sour taste of Rodda's Reds departure still hasn't left his former coach's mouth, who insists reports of bad blood between the pair were off the mark
