James Roby dislocated his finger and then produced a key play. Picture sequence: Bernard Platt
SAINTS veteran skipper James Roby showed he is made from different stuff than mere mortals with one passage of play in Friday's win over Hull FC.
The hooker suffered a dislocation of the index finger in the second half of the game.
But there was no drama, he nonchalantly played the ball before assistance came on to straighten his digit.
And he was swiftly back involved in play with a shrewd kick at the end of the set forcing a drop out.
His work was not done yet, with Hull's Jake Connor trying a short grubber which the Saints skipper was able to protect, bang on the 10 metre line with Hull infringing as they tried to win the ball back.
