Everything he’s done in his young career to date says that he’s a rugby player to his core, with long held dreams of taking on the British and Irish Lions next year in a series that many players hold in higher esteem than Rugby World Cups.
Over the past year there are probably more striking images of Gordon in tears on a rugby field than looking happy.And as if to underline rugby’s current mess, the Gordon story wasn’t even the most alarming of the day. No, that prize was collected by Rugby Victoria, who unsurprisingly stirred a mutiny among their own clubs by – and let this sink in – signing off on a $400,000 loan to the Rebels at the end of last year.
Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh spoke some sense on Thursday by saying Gordon wouldn’t necessarily be jettisoned for the Wales series. Good. In fact, the opposite should be true. Gordon needs an arm around the shoulder, a mea culpa from rugby and a reminder not to forget about the game, because the two years on that NRL deal will go fast.
But the message coming through loud and clear is that the current playing base in Australia do not trust those running the game.
