I'd love to come back and play next week, but I'm certainly not going to rush it and put myself out for any longer period.
"Matthew S. "Mat" Rogers" is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1990s and 2000s. He also played rugby union at the highest levels, becoming a dual-code international. The son of the late Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks legend and CEO Steve Rogers (rugby league)/Steve Rogers, Mat played for the Sharks as well. He also played in two State of Origin series for Queensland (1999 and 2000), and for 7 Test match (rugby league)/Tests the Australia national rugby league team/Australian national side (1998 to 2000) before his switch to union in 2001. Rogers played at Fly-half (rugby union)/fly half in his final season for the New South Wales Waratahs/Waratahs and started in a number of games for the Australia national rugby union team/Wallabies in various positions in the backline. He returned to rugby league in 2007 with the newly formed Gold Coast Titans club and retired in 2010. With the Titans beset by injuries and poor form, Rogers announced his comeback to help out the club on-field in 2011, but a serious injury forced him to announce his retirement again just minutes into his first game back.
More Mat Rogers on Wikipedia.It's been done before and done a lot worse, so it should be sweet.
He was suffering from some depression and, as a person of his stature and a public figure, he found it really hard to talk about it to other people and therefore exacerbated the problem.
We'll certainly be looking to play a bit more up-tempo this week.
