MIKEY LEWIS believes rugby league has found a new home in Hill Dickinson Stadium, describing the atmosphere as “unbelievable” during the second Ashes Test.

It was the first non-football event at Everton's stadium, which opened its doors in February, and a sellout crowd of 52,106 packed the waterfront stadium for the international between England and Australia, creating a buzzing atmosphere at a facility that cost £800m.

On the field, the Kangaroos sealed an Ashes victory with a 14-4 result, adding to their 26-6 opening Wembley win the week prior.

For Lewis - who led Hull KR to a treble in 2025 - the experience highlighted the potential for rugby league to return to the home of the Toffees.
