Hull FC’s Danny Houghton keen to seal Challenge Cup return to Wembley at least one more time
Rival hookers and captains James Roby and Danny Houghton go into tomorrow’s Challenge Cup semi-final with the mindset that there could be a chance to play at Wembley for one last time.
Both have experienced cup final glory in the past but are entering the twilight of their careers and know the first semi-final between St Helens and Hull at Leigh Sports Village will spell heartbreak for one of them.
Just Wigan and Leeds have enjoyed more Cup final wins than Saints but the last of their 12 triumphs was 13 years ago and Roby, 35, is the only survivor from their 28-16 victory over Hull in 2008.
