History for Hull KR in Grand Final
October 13, 2025
|Western Daily Press
Kingston Rovers coach Willie Peters saluted match-winner Mikey Lewis and his team of history-makers following their stunning Betfred Super League Grand Final success on Saturday, writes Mark Staniforth.
Rovers completed a brilliant treble by dethroning Wigan, champions for the previous two years, with an emphatic 24-6 victory at Old Trafford.
It made Rovers only the fifth club to claim the Super League trophy and the first other than Wigan, Leeds or St Helens to have triumphed since 2003.
Halfback Lewis was brilliant, scoring the first try and creating another after making a decisive intervention to prevent Wigan's Bevan French opening the scoring.
Peters said: “I just said out there, Mikey Lewis has arrived.
“What I meant by that was in big moments, and it doesn’t get bigger than a Grand Final.
