WILL ROJER PLAY FOR THE NZ WARRIORS AGAIN
The 32-year-old star is in the final year of his contract, which means Roger will not play for the NZ Warriors again. For the next season, Roger will be heading to the United Kingdom, where he has signed a two-year contract with Wakefield Trinity.
Unfortunately, he might delay his debut as he recovers from his current injury. An ACL usually takes months to reach full fitness and match fitness.
