One of the great Dragons, Steve Rogers, was known as Sludge. Anyone know how that came about?
You are a naughty, naughty person
But here ya go....

The nickname was bestowed by his Cronulla teammate Maurie Raper that year in the loungeroom of the captain, Tommy Bishop, when Rogers collapsed in a heap, drunk on beer for the first time in his life.

"Hey, fellas, Steve looks like a hunk of sludge," Raper said then.
