Lewis full of pride for his Titans in bid for promotion

LOSING just one game all season would usually be more than enough to finish first, but Rotherham Titans can count themselves unfortunate to be in the same division as Leeds Tykes.

Despite a seven-match win streak to start the season, head coach Gary Pearce parted ways with Rotherham in October via ‘mutual consent’ due to player unrest.

Former Huddersfield boss Gareth Lewis was appointed as Pearce’s successor and alongside rugby consultant Harvey Biljon, the former director of rugby at Jersey Reds, the pair have led Rotherham to a formidable campaign that had seen them lose just once heading into this weekend.

Lewis told The Rugby Paper: “We are proud of our record and how we’ve performed this season. It goes way beyond when Harvey and I arrived, this goes back to the previous season.

“We’re proud of our record at home and on the road this year. Typically if a club loses only one game all season, you’d expect them to be in the mix for promotion and it remains that way. Fair play to Leeds who have had an unbelievable season as well.
