One step on road to greatness for Lewis

with the man of the match and Super League trophies after their Grand Final win over Wigan Warriors at Old Trafford on Saturday night

(LEE PARKER/CAMERASPORT/GETTY)

Lewis’ stunning opening try paved the way for Rovers to seal a domestic treble with a thrilling 24-6 win over defending champions Wigan at Old Trafford and in doing so become the first new team in 21 years - and only the fifth overall - to lift the Super League Grand Final trophy.

Fuelled by the memory of last year’s near-miss against the same club on the same stage, the homegrown 24-year-old saved one of his best displays of the season for when it mattered most, marshalling his teammates through a torrid opening 20 minutes and ultimately to a relatively comfortable win.
