That forward strength is complemented by targeted additions across the squad.
Returning Wallaby Carter Gordon bolsters the fly-half options, while Ben Volavola adds versatility in the back line and prop Aidan Ross strengthens the front row. The roster construction reflects an emphasis on depth and balance rather than sweeping change.
Heading into 2026, the Reds’ roster remains under the guidance of head coach Les Kiss for his final season before moving into the Wallabies role.
Based in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium, the squad reflects a team built to compete immediately, while maximizing the final chapter of its current coaching structure.
