The outcome of a Melbourne Rebels rescue bid may ultimately decide Carter Gordon's future with the Wallabies and Rugby Australia.<\/p>\n

Interest in the fly-half's services is at an all-time high with the Super Rugby Pacific<\/a> team teetering on collapse.<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast Titans have reportedly baulked at the idea of a $700,000 salary<\/a>, leaving the door open to entertain other clubs.<\/p>\n

Asked where his future lies, Gordon said he was weighing up his options.<\/p>\n

"I'm not too sure. I think there are just a few options," he said on Stan Sport's coverage of the Rebels vs Blues match.<\/p>\n

"I don't know what's happening with the Rebels yet so hopefully I get a bit more clear stuff on that. We'll just go from there."<\/p>\n

\"Carter<\/p>\n

Former Wallabies player Stephen Hoiles said it would be a significant loss to Rugby Australia if Gordon left to play in the NRL.<\/p>\n

However, he said it should come as no surprise with very little certainty about the future of the Rebels.<\/p>\n

"Players have to go and look around," said Hoiles.<\/p>\n

"They've got to go and do it. Here's a player sitting here at a club that might not be here next year. I'd love to see him stay in the game but it's got to be difficult.<\/p>\n

\"Carter<\/p>\n

"I think it makes a lot of sense for him to stay," he added.<\/p>\n

"He went to a World Cup as a young player. No one at that World Cup came back from that campaign saying that's worked out well for us.<\/p>\n

"I think most guys would want to go again. I just find it a really difficult time to leave Rugby Australia knowing the Lions series is coming up.<\/p>\n

"There are so many positive things coming but he's a player that's going to be wanted by several markets. There are overseas markets, there's league, there's union. I think a lot of states would want a Carter Gordon in their side.<\/p>\n

"If he was pushed out, and I don't think this is a scenario of him being pushed out, I just think his value has increased because he's had a good successful last few years. He's in high demand."<\/p>\n

\"Waratahs<\/p>\n

Talk of Gordon's future comes on the backdrop of reports that the Rebels might be saved from collapse, if a consortium's proposal is accepted in the next month or two.<\/p>\n

Gordon said it has affected some players, who are potentially months away from losing their job.<\/p>\n

"It's tough to ignore," said Gordon.<\/p>\n

"Obviously some boys are a bit more worried than other boys, but that's just kind of how it is.<\/p>\n

"We do our best to come together and focus on the rugby and put the game front of mind but it does get to some boys. We're doing our best to come together and play our best rugby."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
