Michael Hooper and Tim Horan predictably want to see Gordon sign for the states closest to their hearts – while Horan belies Rugby Australia must take a leading role in strategically placing Rebels players into their best fit at other franchises. “I’d love to see Carter Gordon come to NSW,” Hooper said on Stan Sport’s Between Two Posts. “I think he would be a really good person to have there.
I think he’s got so much growth in him. But he’s had some really beautiful touches already in his career. He’s got to get his goal kicking a bit up to standard.
” His arrival would put pressure on Tane Edmed, named this week in Joe Schmidt’s train-on squad for the July Tests following the Waratahs exit from Super Rugby. “Carter Gordon wants to go back to Queensland,” Horan said on Rugby Heaven. “You talk to him after the Rugby World Cup, that’s where he’s from.
“He grew up there, he’s very close to Tate McDermott but there’s a lot of 10s there in Queensland at the moment. He can play 12 as well.” Watch every match of Super Rugby Pacific ad-free, live & on demand on the Home of Rugby, Stan Sport Former Wallaby Cameron Shepherd also backed a move for Gordon to the Tah.
