St Helens legend James Roby planning his next move ahead of World Club Challenge

St Helens captain James Roby plans on downing NRL premiers Penrith - while working out what he’s going to do with the rest of his life.

The iconic hooker, 37, shelved plans to retire last year so he could enjoy more potential glory nights like tomorrow’s World Club Challenge in Sydney. But after more than 500 games for his beloved Saints, he definitely won’t perform another U-turn so has to get plans in place. The trophy-laden ex-Great Britain star said: “That’s my job this year alongside rugby - to sort out what’s next.

“I’ve a few avenues I want to explore but nothing’s set in stone. Part of me wants to stay involved in rugby league and maybe with this club. But really there's a part of me that wants something totally different and completely new. It’s exciting but quite scary, too. It’s a big change for me and my family.
