Mathew Steve Rogers (born 1 February 1976) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who competed in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.
He played rugby union at the highest level, becoming a dual-code international.
Mat Rogers, the son of late Cronulla Sharks legend and CEO Steve Rogers, played for the Sharks as well.
Before his move to union in 2001, he participated in two State of Origin series for Queensland (1999 and 2000) and 7 Tests for the Australian national team (1998 to 2000).
Rogers played for the Waratahs in his last season and began playing in a number of games for the Wallabies in various positions in the backline.
In 2007, he joined the newly formed Gold Coast Titans club and retired in 2010.
Rogers declared his return to help the team out on track in 2011, but a serious injury forced him to cancel just minutes into his first game back.
Personal life
On the Gold Coast in 2008, Rogers married model and media personality Chloe Maxwell. Rogers has four children: Jack and Skyla from a previous marriage, Max Danger (born 5 June 2006), and daughter Phoenix (born 21 September 2007) with new wife Chloe.
Rogers has been working to raise concerns of depression since his father Steve's death in January 2006. He suffered with depression for three years, and although suicide was initially suspected, his death was determined an accident after taking alcohol and prescription drugs.
He has pledged to serve as an ambassador for Movember, an initiative that encourages men to grow a moustache during November to raise funds for study into depression and prostate cancer. Rogers has expressed worry about inheriting a propensity for the mental disorder. He's made a vow with brother Don't ever to be transparent about their feelings and encouraged boys to speak to their relatives, doctors, or mates.
In the fifteenth season of Dancing with the Stars, he was a semifinalist.
Rogers competed for the 2018 Gold Coast commonwealth Games.
Rogers appeared on Australian Survivor: Champions vs. S. Contenders are competing in the fifth season of the Australian Survivor series as part of the Champions tribe. Rogers helped his tribe beat obstacles in the early stages of the game, and was not hurt. Rogers had a recurring alliance with fellow Champion tribemates Shane Gould, Lydia Lassila, Steve Willis, Moana Hope, Samuel "Sam" Hinton, and Sharn Coombes before a critical tribe swap. Rogers was able to merge after losing just one member, Hope, but after that, they helped out Lassila and Hinton. Rogers had a scheme to vote out fellow contestant Brian Lake on Day 37, but tribemates Monika Radulovic and Benji Wilson had a different idea and pulled him out. Rogers placed in ninth place and became the third member of the jury. Coombes' tacit betramination of Rogers was highlighted in Coombes' final Tribal Council, and Rogers voted for Gould, which ended up winning the game.
Rogers has returned to compete on Australian Survivor: All Stars. After being on the bottom of the Valiant tribe, he gained fame by initiating an underground alliance with David Genat. He was swapped into a tribe with no one of his former allies at the tribe exchange. On Day 22, Rogers was voted out after having two idols during the season. He was the tenth person to be voted out of office.
Rugby league career
Rogers joined the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks after deciding that rugby league was his preferred career choice. Rogers' center partner Andrew Ettingshausen and later fullback David Peachey formed strong alliances. During the mid-to-late 90s, he was a fun ball-running winger. He had numerous point-scoring performances with Cronulla, including being a natural goal kicker and being able to score attempts in the shortest situations. In the 1999 Tri Nations tournament, Rogers was selected for the Australian team. In the Kangaroos' 22-20 victory over New Zealand, he was on the wing, scoring two tries and kick three goals.
Rogers stated his desire to transition from the wing to centre or Fullback. However, after the Kangaroos' fruitful 2000 World Cup Campaign, a serious injury to his shoulder rotator cuff ended his hopes. Despite this, he was the tournament's best point-scorer. He was limited to a handful of games during the 2001 season, his final year with the Sharks, after a complete shoulder injury reconstruction.
Rugby union career
Rogers was a huge success in rugby unions following his switch. In a Test match against France in June 2002, he made his Wallaby debut with Wendell Sailor. They became the 41st and 42nd Australian dual code internationals at that time, overall.
His march had not been without controversies. Multiple times Rogers has been the subject of media scrutiny after making remarks about Australian club rugby in comparison to Wallabies' preparations, as well as an alleged altercation outside an Edinburgh nightclub with a fan in 2004.
After coach Bob Dwyer revealed that Waratahs and Wallaby stalwart Matthew Burke would be relocated from fullback to outside center in order to accommodate Rogers, his first move was less than smooth. His 2004 Super 12 season began with a bang, but a serious ankle injury in South Africa kept him out of the National Championship series this year.
An autobiography On a Wing was released in 2002 and written when his father Steve Rogers was alive and when he married Michelle Miller, the mother of his children, Jack and Skyla.
Rogers went from fullback to fly-half during Stephen Larkham's injury in the 2005 Tri Nations Series. He remained in that position during the 2005 spring tour of Europe and remained with the Waratahs for the majority of the latest Super 14 tournament in 2006.
Rogers scored a late effort that allowed Stirling Mortlock to kick the winning conversion from the left sideline for a 20–18 victory.
Rogers had suffered a knee injury that necessitated arthroscopic surgery on August 28, 2006, but he was not ruled out of the final test against the Springboks, but not until the end of the year. "I've had (the illness) for a few weeks and I was hoping it would have turned out a bit better job than it has," Rogers said. "I'm sad to miss out on the Springboks match because I think we have a great chance of winning a Test on our soil, something that hasn't been done for a long time."
Rogers hasn't participated in any of his 61 games for the Waratahs in 2006, according to the Daily Telegraph, some due to his father's death at the start of the year. He has appeared in 41 of 57 games for the Wallabies. He hasn't played for 37 of 118 games, making him a spectator 31% of the time since being transferred to rugby union.
Rogers was selected in Australia's 37-man team for Australia's tour of Europe. He had been selected to play at fly-half with the normal number 10 Larkham playing outside of him at inside-centre.
Mat Rogers was released from his Waratahs and the Australian Rugby Union on December 14, 2006.
