This was redemption, the chance to show the world I can do it

LEWIS BUILDS LEGACY

- BY JOSH MCALLISTER

MIKEY LEWIS admitted he was out to create a legacy when he signed a five-year contract ahead of Hull KR’s playoff campaign.

On Saturday night, he delivered in spectacular fashion on rugby league's biggest stage.

The 24-year-old livewire halfback inspired Rovers to a commanding victory to dethrone Wigan, completing the treble alongside the Challenge Cup and League Leaders’ Shield.

Having prevented last year's inaugural Rob Burrow Award winner Bevan French from touching down with a last-ditch effort after 12 minutes, Lewis then opened the scoring with a darting run to pave the way for a history-making win.
