ALL PLAY & NO WORK

Arbon gets day off to take on super Saints

- BY DAVE CRAVEN

ONE thing Ben Arbon had to battle with before today's huge Challenge Cup game against St Helens was whether he'd be working or not.

That's because, like all his West Hull team-mates, he simply plays rugby league for fun. Not money.

Yet the community club, founded by the late Hull FC and Great Britain legend Johnny Whiteley, now find themselves facing the Super League giants.

Second-row Arbon explained: "I'm a maintenance engineer at a hospital in Hull and I work shift patterns.

"I have to work one in five Saturdays and I put down to work this one because it was only 50/50 we'd get this far! "It would have been a little weird going to work before playing St Helens.
