I still want to know what happened to Billy Rogers.
View attachment 90256
Signed from the Storm. Played off the bench in Rnds 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10.
NRL SAYS - In Rnd 10 vs Cows, he played 17 minutes. Ran 5m, 18 tackles, 2 missed, 3 ineffective. (My memory says that is BS)
Then he disappeared.

I asked ChatGPT and she said
Billy Rogers played for the Parramatta Eels in 2011, appearing in Rounds 3, 5, 6, 8, and 10. Despite a promising start, Rogers did not continue his NRL career beyond this period. His departure from top-tier rugby league was due to a combination of team dynamics, coaching decisions, and his performance compared to other players in the squad. After his stint with the Eels, there is no substantial record of him continuing in the NRL or switching to another professional team. His brief professional career highlights the competitive and challenging nature of maintaining a position in top-level rugby league (

Rugby League Project).
I asked Gemini and she said
Billy Rogers' NRL career with the Parramatta Eels was short-lived due to personal reasons. Here's what we know:
- He signed a two-year deal in 2011 but requested a release after just six games.
- News articles suggest he had personal issues he needed to address [5].
- After leaving Parramatta, he returned home to Queensland and played for the Gympie Devils, his junior club [5].
While details about his personal reasons aren't publicly available, it's clear he prioritized them over continuing in the NRL.
I asked COPILOT and she said
Billy Rogers, who played for the Parramatta Eels in 2011, indeed had a brief NRL career
. Although he was listed for 5 games, he never actually set foot on the field during any of them1. After his time with the Eels, he left for personal reasons and continued his rugby league career elsewhere. He went on to play for the Gympie Devils, winning two premierships, and later moved to the United States to play for the Jacksonville Axemen.
In 2015, he played for the Northern Outlaws in the Sunshine Coast Gympie Rugby League competition, and in 2017, he signed with the Underbank Rangers in the English Pennine League2. It seems his departure from the NRL was a personal choice, leading him to explore opportunities in different leagues and countries.
