Lynagh Fit as Reds’ No. 10 Battle Heats Up With Gordon Arrival

Les Kiss emphasizes versatility to manage a crowded playmaker group.

Overview

  • Tom Lynagh says he is fully fit for the Reds’ preseason after managing hamstring and concussion problems last year.
  • Carter Gordon has joined Queensland following a short, injury-affected Titans spell, returning to union in time to start for Australia against Italy.
  • Lynagh welcomed Gordon’s arrival, saying the fight for the No. 10 jersey will drive the club forward.
  • Coach Les Kiss flagged positional flexibility, with Gordon and Harry McLaughlin‑Phillips able to cover inside centre and McLaughlin‑Phillips also training at fullback.
  • The Reds added utility back Ben Volavola and signed Nic Lynagh to a development deal, with Volavola potentially Wallabies‑eligible in August.
