SAINTS skipper James Roby could be tempted to play on in 2022 after helping his home-town club win their first Challenge Cup in 13 years.

The 35-year-old led Saints to a 26-12 victory over Castleford at Wembley on Saturday, scoring a try in the 80-minute display.

It is the longest span between Wembley wins by any player since Gus Risman 1938-52.

Roby, who captained the team to back-to-back Grand Final victories, now has four Cup final winners' medals and hinted he might be back for more as he weighs up his future.

"I'm still undecided on next year at the moment," he said. "There's two ways to look at it.

"On the one hand you could say it would be nice to finish on a high but on the other why finish when there's more trophies to win?

"It's a tough one, I'll sit down with the club and see what's going on.

"I'm just proud to be part of this club - I had success at the start of my career and I'm having success towards the back end of it."

Roby made an indelible mark on the Challenge Cup when he scored the first try at the new Wembley in 2007 and he opened his account for the season with a decisive score against Castleford.

"It's my first try of the year so I'm buzzing with that," he said. "There were a tense few moments, I'm just glad it went our way.

"I think half-time maybe came at a good time for us because we needed to regroup. We said 'let's not panic, just do what we do well'.

"It's an amazing achievement to get back here and get the win."
