They say that every star player, regardless of how good or bad they perform in a game, will think that everything changes. Mikey Lewis again made himself the most important man when he searched the conversion that the Challenge Cup achieved for Hull KR.
It is fair to say, until the 77th minute the challenge of the Challenge Cup was not a vintage Lewis performance.
He had moments of greatness, such as a Drew-Line drop-out that Arron Lindop could not handle, but it was in balance with a knock-on on his own try-line.
Until the 77th minute he had experienced a roller coaster of an afternoon, highlights and lows that the match encountered.
Then Tom Davies got his fingertips on the ball to score an attempt and bring the game to 6-6 and it was to Lewis to send a difficult conversion to set up his side for the first time since the first half.
He did exactly that, and 40 years of trophy fear of death slid away, the Robins finally added an elusive piece of silverware to a cupboard that has been empty since 1985.
It is important to remember, outside the Challenge Cup, the ruling man of Staal did not have target clothing tasks for his club, Arthur Mourgue who takes on that role after his relocation of Catalans Dragons.
It is remarkable that he did not practice his kicks, but only trust that it will come loose at the moment.
“I did a lot last year and practice a lot last year. I feel that this was not the best for me, I thought too much,” Lewis said.

“When I had to kick, when Rhyse (Martin) was injured, I said to him:” I’m not going to practice “. He couldn’t believe it at first.
“In the semi -final of the Challenge Cup I kicked very well and I just trusted it.”
And will it go down as the biggest kick of his life?
“Yes, 100%. I lived with it for a long time.”
Hull KR has returned their name to the Challenge Cup trophy for the first time since 1980
Now Lewis is aimed at continuing to build an inheritance in the club that brought the No. 6 Jersey for him and picked up as many trophies as possible along the way.
“It means a lot. We have taken over an inheritance that was on us for a long time. It is not only the 17 guys who played today, it is the whole team, the staff, everyone on the board. What we don’t see what is being done behind the scenes, it’s for everyone.
“I just want to win everything right now. It’s hard to say, but it’s easy to say. It’s a bit of cliché, but I want that.”
