With next year looking very scary for us and with some juniors needing some mentoring, why would we not go after Matt Rogers to play 5/8 ?

Better then Kimmorley and what other choices do we have??

He's killing it at 5/8 for the Tits!!

Injury is my only concern but if he could stay fit I'd play him with Graham in the halves ....

If we could, I would but there was some article about us rejecting him a while ago? Not sure what the deal is there, I'd have him in a heart beat. Playing like he's 5 year younger atm.

I'd love to see the name Rogers on a Sharks jersey again..... If for that only I'd want him back!! sad but true

With Best possibly coming back maybe I'm just trying to relive the glorious 90's !!

He would probably not want to move the young family back south.

Would stay at the Tits for less just for some stability and to enjoy the lifestyle and get out of the fishbowl.

Would love to have him back though. May be getting on a bit but those years in Union had him resting quite a bit.

I too would prefer Rogers to BK. Unfortunately, in the past he made it clear he wasnt coming back. He now has less options and may change his mind, but the cost and injury situation dont make it good business. I dont like the idea of players seeing out their last year with us. I would have thought going after the St Helens half (Tomkin I think) would make more sense. Young and with a point to prove. Recently, most of the Pommie imports have done ok.

We need someone thats for sure! Porter and Smith ain't gonna cut it thats for sure!!

Although Smith has the talent just not the brain!!

He left us when he was on top to chase the big dollars and now that his career is over he wants to come back...no thanks.
I never want to see him in sharks colours again.

I don't understand the ridiculous choices our club makes. We need outside backs and we need halves. Rogers is both, and fuggen good at it too! I know some people are against him due to his age BUT a short contract would both, buy us more time to get a young quality half or centre coming off contract in 2012 and it also gives us a quality NRL LEVEL player (who is currently killing it) in the mean time.

I think the Gold Coast have made it pretty clear that they won't be re-signing Rogers since they have young backs they want to keep.

He can play anywhere from 1-7, so why not? We could get the Roosters NYC half or Tomkins as well.

He didn't want to leave, but he asked Ando for a chance at 6.

Ando told him was on the wing.

in ando's defence ...I would not have put rat at 6 at that stage of his career either.
He was still scrawny.

Even Lang wouldn't let him play six.

I read somewhere that Lang told him that ET and him were a team within the team and he must stay on the wing to work off ET.

I dont give a f**k if he left us, I'd love to see him back.
Graham at 7, Rogers at 6, be the best halves combo we have had in a while.
