St Helens boss Kristian Woolf believes rugby league needs to be “sensible” to make sure James Roby’s remarkable exploits AREN’T repeated.
The iconic Saints captain edges ever closer to Leeds legend Kevin Sinfield’s all-time Super League record of 454 games when the champions visit Warrington on Thursday. Hooker Roby will go past ex-Castleford, Bradford and Hull prop Andy Lynch’s total of 452 so there’s only one man left in his sights. The former England star, who turns 37 in November, is expected to retire at the end of the campaign.
His consistently stunning form suggests, though, he could go on even longer for his beloved Saints. Woolf won’t argue with that. But the coach doesn’t believe anyone will - or should even be allowed to - break the Super League record again once the ex-Man of Steel has hopefully done so.
