Queensland Reds captain Liam Wright says there is no bad blood towards the departed trio and "good mates" Izack Rodda, Harry Hockings and Isaac Lucas.
The Reds returned to training yesterday for the first time since Rodda, Hockings and Lucas were all released from their contracts after refusing to agree to salary cuts.
After being stood down last Monday, the trio were in discussions with Rugby Australia and the QRU, ultimately released from their deals on Saturday.
The remainder of Australia's professional players signed up to the agreement, which saw players take an average 60% pay cut across the board until September 30.
