Rogers said: "I love the team and I hate seeing them hurting and the fans hurting... and I want to help."
Rogers said in a statement issued by the club that he will train hard in an effort to feature in the Titans' match against the New Zealand Warriors on July 8 - that would be his 200th NRL appearance.
"I haven't trained at NRL intensity for the last few months so the first thing will be to get back into the swing of things on the training paddock," Rogers stated.
"If I can get back to playing then that would be a bonus, but my priority at the moment is just making a contribution to the squad in some way."
