Reading the NRL forum I saw this entry from 'Southern Rooster', a some-time LU sparring partner of a few of us:
Apart from him being in a similar mindset to me when I heard the news, I have to agree that in searching for an appropriate tribute for Steve, Southern Rooster has hit the nail right on the head.
When I head to Cronulla to go to the first home game of Season 2006, I want to be walking through the gates of The Steve Rogers Memorial Stadium.
Who's with me?
When I heard this earlier this morning I was stunned. Stunned like I probably have not been before at the death of one of our sportsmen. Rugby League has lost one of it's greatest but the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks have lost there greatest. The heart and soul of the club has passed away this morning. Condolences to all Sharks supporters and to Sludges family.
When I first heard that a Sharks great had passed away this morning my first thought was Greg Pierce.
Cronulla's home ground has more names over the years then just about any other place in the country. They should change it one last time never to be changed again.
