Saint James battling for his Grand Finale
IT’S got to the stage where legendary St Helens captain James Roby feels like he’s playing Russian roulette.
On Saturday, the iconic hooker makes his last home appearance at the club where he’s spent his entire distinguished career.
If things go right in the play-off eliminator against Warrington, he’ll be just 80 minutes away from a staggering 12th Grand Final.
But if things go wrong, in what will be his 550th outing for Saints, it’s his last game anywhere. Full stop.
There’ll be no U-turn on retirement like last year, even though the 37-year-old keeps purring like a Rolls Royce.
