Hull KR head coach Willie Peters is backing Mikey Lewis to “own” the Super League Grand Final.
Star man Lewis has lit up the Super League in the last two seasons, his efforts last year winning him Man of Steel.
Now, Lewis has the opportunity once again to make his mark, this time at Old Trafford as his club chase what would be a historic treble.
Lewis stepped up in the final moments of the Robins’ Challenge Cup win with a clutch conversion that secured them their first trophy in over 40 years.
Reigning Man of Steel Mikey Lewis has ended NRL links by signing a new Hull KR contract until 2030
In the NRL Grand Final, the sport witnessed 23-year-old Reece Walsh come through for Brisbane Broncos in their dramatic win and having watched that, Peters saw a glimpse of how Lewis could make himself the main man in the Super League Grand Final.
“Obviously, that’s going to be up to Mikey. I mean, you look at what Reece Walsh did last weekend,” Peters said.
“It would have been at some stage that he said in his mind that he wants to go out and own this Grand Final. It doesn’t just happen.
“You’ve got to mentally… and he’s built his game. There’s no doubt Reece Walsh built his game to be able to win his last 10 games or like that but at some stage, I’m pretty confident that he would have mentally gone ‘I’m going to be a beast. I’m going to own this Grand Final’.

“I think that’s where Mikey needs to be. He needs to mentally tap into that.
“That’s not to put pressure on him. We know he’s one of our x-factors and someone like Tyrone May, whose game’s been building and probably doesn’t get credit. Then we’ll go straight to Mikey because he’s scoring the tries.
“But Tyrone adds a lot to our attack and just our overall structures and how we look. He is a different player, but I want him to tap into that as well.”
While Peters does not see similarities between Lewis and Walsh in terms of their style of play, he likens the two in the way they have overcome criticism and centred themselves in the big moments that nobody can take away from them.
“Not so much in terms of player, but in terms of character and what they’ve had to deal with along the journey in terms of criticism and people looking at him like that,” he added.
“To be honest, I don’t know Reece. I’m going to get to meet him, but I don’t know him. So I can’t really comment too much on that. But he gets a lot of stick, doesn’t he?
“It seems and everything that he does, everyone focuses on that and zones in. And they’re very quick to knock him down.
“I think what he’s said at the moment, no one can ever take away that Grand Final from him, regardless.
“I heard him say that and obviously Mikey’s won a Challenge Cup. No one can ever take that away from him.
“But obviously now it’s wanting to win a Super League title. If he achieves that, no one can ever take that away from him.
“People are always going to have things that they’re going to say but if that happens, for Mikey at the moment, no one can take that away from him.”

We say this a lot, but this statement was especially true this week: What a weekend it was in college football. Indiana firmly established itself as a national championship contender with its upset win at Oregon. Texas might have gotten back on track with its decisive victory over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. Alabama picked up a key ranked win, and Ohio State continues to roll.All of that was overshadowed by Penn State's decision to fire James Franklin on Sunday following a third straight loss. But the rankings must go on, so here's Joel Klatt's latest top 10. ADVERTISEMENT Klatt's thoughts: "This team has separated themselves out. They haven't even shifted into third gear.

Handball-Tor des Monats – Teenagerin stiehlt allen die Show
Endlich war es wieder so weit. Die Daikin Handball-Bundesliga hatte Anfang Oktober alle Fans dazu aufgerufen, das erste Tor des Monats nach der Sommerpause zu küren. Es ging um den schönsten Treffer im September. Sechs Tore standen wie immer zur Auswahl, und eine Teenagerin stahl all ihren Kontrahenten die Show. Die 18-jährige Leonie Udaw der Turnerschaft St. Tönis (NRW) bekam die meisten Stimmen für ihren Treffer. Im Spiel der A-Juniorinnen-Bundesliga gegen Bayer 04 Leverkusen war sie nach einem Kempa-Pass erfolgreich, den sie mustergültig abschloss (s. Video unten).<!-->[--> An dieser Stelle findest du Inhalte aus Instagram Um mit Inhalten aus Instagram und anderen sozialen Netzwerken zu interagieren oder diese darzustellen, brauchen wir deine Zustimmung. soziale Netzwerke aktivieren Um eingebettete Inhalte anzuzeigen, ist Ihre jederzeit widerrufliche Einwilligung (über den Schalter oder über " Widerruf Tracking und Cookies " am Seitenende) zur Verarbeitung […]
