Bad Start To Mat's First Day
Illawarra Mercury
Wednesday January 17, 2007
MAT Rogers' first day back in rugby league ranks didn't go quite as planned. The Wallaby walkout rolled his ankle in his training debut, hardly the ideal way to impress Titans coach John Cartwright. Rogers, who is on a cut-price contract of $140,000 in 2007, said there wasn't much to worry about. After having not played league for five years during his union sojourn, it will be interesting to see how many matches the dual international gets through this season. The enigmatic outside back will miss out on the Rugby World Cup later in the year, but considering the Wallabies' recent form that may not be a bad thing.
