Sharks legend Rogers dies
Cronulla rugby league legend and club general manager Steve Rogers has been found dead in his unit in Sydney's south.

Sharks management said the 51-year-old, father of Wallaby utility Mat Rogers, had just returned from an overseas holiday.

Police said there were no suspicious circumstances.

Sharks football manager Greg Pierce said the news had come as a terrible shock.

"Unbelievable, he was due back at work on Monday and I was due to go off for a couple of weeks," he said.

"He's been away on holidays in Europe for a period and we were just going to swap over where the state of the nation was sort of thing, and it's quite unbelievable the fact that he won't be there."

What can you say ... one of the greatest.

The game and the Shark Family have tragically lost their number one son.
