Wallabies player Carter Gordon has said he felt he had to take his opportunity now after signing with NRL team Gold Coast Titans .
The 23-year-old, who will join the Titans next year until the end of 2026, was a key member of the Wallabies World Cup squad in 2023 and played number 10 for the now-defunct Melbourne Rebels. Two other members of the Australian team, which made a historic exit in the pool round under Eddie Jones, NSW centre Izaia Perese and promising Melbourne backrower Josh Kemeny have also turned their backs on Australian rugby to play overseas.Questions about his move to rugby league will follow Mark Nawaqanitawase all through his final season in rugby but there's only one answer that really matters when it comes to his high-profile switch.
"Carter is going to be a great addition as a spine player and utility. He has an opportunity to work with Des Hasler and with a great squad. He has been one of the Rebels' best, with the financially-ravaged cut from Super Rugby Pacific by Rugby Australia leaving players scrambling for new homes."I'm excited with the direction that rugby league is taking and the positive feeling around the game," Gordon said.Host Darcie McDonald is joined by Josh Mansour to bring you your daily dose of NRL conversation, tackling the big issues and the bigger moments throughout the week.
