He left because the Rebels were folding. He only went to league because he wanted to move closer to home and the Reds at that time couldn't fit him in. I think in hindsight he would have been better going for a stint in France or Japan if he wanted a break from the Rebels bullshit. I thought he was always a better option than Lolesio with goalkicking he's only glaring weakness.
Ultimately, this is a good signing. We want rugby players playing rugby. And he's a damn good rugby player on his day. t

Matt Rogers got in his ear and sold him the world at the Titans. The pay can be A LOT better as well.
Titans are a desperate Club for relevancy and willing to take a swing.

Is Rogers his manager? He was spouting how good he could be in league if he stuck at it. Sounds like he was just defending his stuff around. I know he wanted to get home but going from the Rebels to the Titans never seemed like a good idea. Particularly if you've never really played before.

A good thing for Carter now is that the Wallabies have a couple of other legitimate goal kicking options in other positions in JAS and Ryan Lonergan. That would take a lot of pressure off him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get game time in November.

Neither of them were first choice goal kicker for their super teams though. Do we want a part-timer taking kicks for the Wallabies?

I think I'm thinking of Maddison Levi. My bad.

It's not ideal, but I think they're roughly in the same league as most of our options, or at least not far off. We don't have anyone who's kicking at 80%+ year after year, and Sua'ali'i kicked at over 75% in the NRL.

No way, we need this kind of spark and passion. I thought it was great.

It was negative aura stuff

I get it. I did laugh at the time at him for doing it. But I think overall we need more emotion and narratives in rugby, not less. I’d never advocate for us going full league boofhead, but a level of rivalry and spiciness just adds so much more casual interest.

I never understand why it has to be the 10 who takes the kicks. Whoever is the best kicker in the team should get the job. It takes a lot of focus and time to get it right, so who cares who kicks?
We don't kick for goal much these days - maybe a talented part timer may do?

Our RWC stocks are rising with Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) and now Carter Gordon. As an oddity, a mate of mine was watching Edmed play and reckoned he'd make a better centre than 10.
