God Bless you Steve. Thank you for the memories. 🇦🇺👍✝️💖

Fantastic player, wasn't he?

[@stephenfox4278]

RIP Sludge. What a wonderful centre he was for the mighty Sharks and Australia. Unique talent back in the day...

[@anthonyadg9455]

Steve Rogers would easily be in the top dozen players to ever play rugby league- he was all class. Players like him are rare

[@garyoneill6650]

Steve Rogers was my boyhood hero...

[@shaunsummerfield7798]

A great footballer and a gentleman. RIP Steve.

Mick and Steve. A great centre pair

[@seaofseries4053]

Quite probably one of the best 10 players in history.

He mentions Bob Millward as he had signed and was going to play with the Steelers on return from England.

[@ronanrogers4127]

Rogers and Kenny are the best runners I’ve seen in rugby league.
Such a tragedy about Steve’s death. Too young.

[@benrogers3311]

1000% on both counts Ronan. Gifts from the Rugby League Gods, both of them. My Cousin was the late great Rick Bourke, he an Sludge were goods friends.
