Hull KR<\/a> players and staff were informed of the decision earlier in the week – and it appeared only to galvanise them against a St Helens side that arrived on a five-match winning streak.<\/p>\nWhen Mikey Lewis is in this kind of mood, he is one of the most electrifying players in Super League – and the livewire half-back was at his very best. The England international delivered a total of 28 points on the night, including a hat-trick.<\/p>\n
Lewis produced a pinpoint kick to the corner for Joe Burgess to open the scoring inside the opening two minutes, the winger leaping highest in front of a sold-out crowd.<\/p>\n
Hull KR suffocated the visitors defensively, and Lewis soon turned from provider to scorer, collecting an Oliver Gildart grubber before dancing past four defenders to cross.<\/p>\n
Playing with confidence and intent, the Robins extended their lead when Lewis added a penalty goal to make it 12-0 after 19 minutes.<\/p>\n
Jez Litten then opened his try-scoring account, backing up a break from Tyrone May, who sliced through the Saints\u2019 line and left Shane Wright grasping at thin air.<\/p>\n
Burgess grabbed his second soon after, racing clear out wide, beating Harry Robertson and leaving Tristan Sailor stranded at full-back to stretch the lead to 24-0.<\/p>\n
Lewis – already boasting two assists and a try – added another of his own before the break, capitalising on a slick Jai Whitbread offload near the line to cap a stunning first-half display at 30-0.<\/p>\n
St Helens, doing it tough without the likes of Alex Walmsley, Jack Welsby, Jacob Host, Jonny Lomax, Kyle Feldt, Nene Macdonald and captain Matty Lees, finally responded immediately after the restart. Prop Noah Stephens powered through Lewis before releasing Owen Dagnall, who beat Jack Broadbent and Whitbread on his way to the try line.<\/p>\n
However, Hull KR quickly reasserted control. Burgess completed his hat-trick, proving too strong and too quick for Dagnall and Robertson once again on the left edge after Broadbent had won a penalty for a ball steal.<\/p>\n
Lewis, in red-hot form, then completed his own hat-trick and finished the match with eight goals from 10 attempts in a standout individual performance – named the official player of the match.<\/p>\n
Further tries from James Batchelor – his first of the season – and Whitbread took Hull KR past the 50-point mark, rounding off a display that could prove to be the catalyst for their season, with Wright grabbing a late consolation for a 52-10 final score.<\/p>\n
