Yes, but Oda didn't plan for them to meet. How long you expecting this arc to go btw?
That might actually be something spot on. Oda must have a reason for including Roger pirate so late in the story, either he's to teach them something or impart some knowledge to them. Later was already rejected by Luffy in Saboady when Ray could've told them. So it comes back to first, or Poneglyps hint.
Luffy failing to actually Damage Gorosie, is something they do need help with. There's not many in Onepiece World that can help with that, but Old Legends.

I think the pacing is a lot better so maybe 50 - 60 chapters.
