Mikey Lewis has no more questions to answer according to one pundit after the Hull KR man’s standout performance in their Grand Final win over Wigan Warriors.
The Robins completed a famous treble with the 24-6 win, becoming just the fifth side to do it in the modern era and also just the fifth side to ever lift the Super League trophy.
Whilst there was a number of standout performers including Jez Litten, Dean Hadley and the retiring Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, it was Mikey Lewis who claimed the Rob Burrow award as Man of the Match.
Eight separate Hull KR players secured votes, highlighting just how impressive so many were, but it was Mikey Lewis who claimed the overwhelming majority with 25 of the 48 votes cast in his name.
One of the big talking points heading into the game was whether Mikey Lewis could match Bevan French, a man who is known for his big game performances, and the Hull KR number six answered that unequivocally.
In fact, he even skinned French on his inside shoulder, as French had done to him last year, to score the opening try and set up what would be a famous win.
‘No question anymore’ over big-game ability of Hull KR star Mikey Lewis
Noting that rhetoric and the questions asked of Lewis pre-game, pundits Jon Wilkin and Sam Tomkins confirmed that any and all questions had been firmly answered when they assessed Lewis’ performance post game.
Wilkin argued: “When you’re a great player, there’s pressure to perform on this stage and the one question about Mikey was whether he can do it in a big environment like this and wow.”
Responding, Tomkins asserted: “There is no question mark over that many anymore and it was fair to question him.
“We’re not bothered if Mikey Lewis scores four tries against Castleford in April, that’s not what big players do. What they do is they perform on the biggest stage and he did that.”
As well as scoring the opening try of the game, Lewis ran for 122 metres with only Tom Davies and Peta Hiku making more metres. He also made the play to put enough pressure on Bevan French to ensure the Wigan man could not ground the ball on the 12 minute mark, something that the stats will not show.
Willie Peters had spoken mid-week about encouraging Lewis to channel a ‘beast mode’ mentality that saw Reece Walsh claim the Clive Churchill medal in the NRL Grand Final and having won Super League’s equivalent and etched his name into history, it’s fair to say the Hull KR number six did just that.
