Mat Rogers: Australian sporting legend on his new book 'A Father's Son'

Published: Nov. 14, 2022, 9:26 p.m.

Mat Rogers is simply an Australian sporting legend.

The dual code international played more than 200 NRL matches for Cronulla and Gold Ccoast - but also represented the Wallabies in 45 tests.

It was a career that spanned nearly 20 years - from 1994 to 2011.

Now he's telling his story - including his battle with addiction and losing his father, Steve Rogers, to suicide back in 2006.

The book is called A Father's Son and Mat Rogers joined Mike Hosking.
