Queensland Reds trio Izack Rodda, Isaac Lucas and Harry Hockings have all been stood down on the eve of their Super Rugby return.

The Reds are set to return to training today but these three players have opted against agreeing to pay cuts. Under the agreement - Rugby Australia pay deal signed last month, players were set to take an average salary cut of 60 per cent until September 1, while some of Australia's highest-earning players were offered the option of an overseas sabbatical.

Rodda, Hockings and Lucas are the only players who have publicly objected to signing up to the modified pay agreement.
