He emigrated to Australia in 1964 and joined Canterbury-Bankstown as a loose forward. Roger was selected in first-grade upon his arrival and became the 300th player to play first-grade for the club. He went on to become a regular member of the team in his initial season.

Coaching career

[edit | edit source]

After an injury interrupted his 1965 season, Roger was appointed first-grade coach in 1966. He commenced the 1966 season in first-grade but forfeited his position to allow George Taylforth back into the team.

He played in third grade so that he could adequately prepare for the coaching role in first-grade. In 1967, Kevin Ryan was appointed captain-coach of first-grade.
