Roger gone next year?

[Benek]

Incoming coach brown:

“Where it’s all at at the moment I don’t 100 per cent know but there is a possibility Roger could be playing rugby league next year which would obviously be a bonus for the club.

“But I also know Roger does have a desire to represent the All Blacks like many, many young Kiwi kids.”

That doesn’t sound too good for Warriors fans!

Pretty sure it is fake news.

He's been to hell and back as a Warrior, what a shame if he left now, just when things might be turning for the better.

 

[Benek]

Sounds like he's not going anywhere...

someone has an agenda. 2nd time theres been a made up story about him leaving to become an allblack. Maybe its Ian Foster spreading malicious rumours....

 

[Penrose Warrior]

But Brown said it, right? So not fake news, I think he spoke out of turn based on something RTS might've said way back when.

Sorry, why would Foster do that, or even give a shit?

Seems most likely, RTS can dream of being an AB all he likes, but there’s plenty of fullback talent there already, and he’ll be bored as hell on the wing

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Yeah. It might've been a dream once, but he'll be behind the following: Mackenzie, Jordan, Havili, Reece, Bridge, Clarke, Barrett at the very least. He might well make it but is it worth the lost earnings and potential to be a Super Rugby player at best? I doubt it.

he wouldnt. just adding to the fakeness of the story.

On NRL 360 last night, it sounds as the RTS thing would make sense in that he doesnt want to be away from family - if the team are based for the year in Aus, who can blame him?
A gap year back in rugby might if anything, lengthen his league career.

A gap year that would cost him $500k to $1 million....jeepers.

Along with the attraction of playing at Twickenham, Ellis Park, Stade de France, Landsdowne Road, Murrayfield, Millennium Stadium, Soldier Field, Ajininomoto Stadium, etc, all up in the air.

He'd probably get to play at Lang Park though.
