  An absolute legend as a player and a captain. Rogers was an exciting runner of the ball, a highly competent goal kicker, and the best player Cronulla has ever had. His brilliant play helped lead Cronulla to two Grand Finals. This is something that even ET never achieved.

  absolutely loved the sharks team of late 70s/early 80s.
  greg pierce, the Sorenson brothers, the mullanes, rick bourke, steve Edmunds, hansard, haddock etc.
  best of all was this guy.
  along with Cronin the best centre of the era.

  Steve Rogers was my idol growing up and truly deserves the name Prince of centres.

  I used to drink with Changa Langlands at the Glenroy Hotel in Alexandria (where many former players used to gather) in the early 2000s and I asked him one day who he thought was the best centre since Reg Gasnier. He replied "Steve Rogers"
  A huge endorsement from an immortal of rugby league!

  I just wondering why Steve Rogers has never been nominated for the NRL immortals list. I would of thought he deserved to be up there.

  Still the greatest Australian centre since Gasnier. Had a brilliant Dally M winning season at lock in 1981, made something happen every time he got the ball. Then starred on the 1982 Kangaroos tour in reality playing at five-eighth off of Sterling with Kenny running of him at centre. So excelled at the highest levels in three different positions, not many can do that.

  Rogers also led Cronulla to their amco cup win in 1979 which was the only top-level title the Sharks held until their grand final win in 2016.
  
  In the 1981 tooth cup Cronulla again reached the final (losing to souths) and Rogers was named player of the series.

  He was without doubt my favourite player growing up...a few other things under "Awards and Accolades" that could be mentioned...1981 Leading Pointscorer in the Premiership...1981 Mid-Week Cup Player of the Series...he also holds the record for most points scored in a single game in the history of the Mid-Week cup, scoring 33 points against Central Queensland in the 1977 Amco Cup.

  As much recognition he got, it was never enough. He was the most gifted rugby league player I ever watched. Great attacking centre, rock solid in defence, great kicking game. Great leader. How he was never chosen as an immortal of the game is a disgrace.

  I saw Steve Rogers play in 1973. That was it. I was a Sharks fan from then on. RIP

  Had the pleasure of knowing Sludge and playing in his last ever game. It was for Nightcliff dragons NT in 1994, Sludge lost a bet with the Consequence being strapping on the jersey. He played half a game and cut em to shreds. A Fair dinkum Champion,
