Lewis Favoured for Lance Todd Trophy in Challenge Cup Final
Mikey Lewis has emerged as the frontrunner to claim this year’s Lance Todd Trophy, as Hull Kingston Rovers (Hull KR) prepare to face Wigan Warriors in the Challenge Cup Final this Saturday.
The Lance Todd Trophy is awarded annually to the best player in the Challenge Cup Final. Lewis, the Robins’ influential half-back, is currently considered the leading candidate by many pundits and observers. His performances throughout the season, and particularly in the semi-final victory, have cemented his position as a key player for Hull KR.
Hull KR and Wigan are set to clash at Wembley Stadium in a highly anticipated showdown. The Warriors, a historically successful club in the Challenge Cup, will provide a stern test for the Robins, who are seeking their first Challenge Cup triumph since 1980. The final promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of Super League's top teams, with both sides eager to lift the coveted trophy.
While Bevan French is also in contention for the award after his impressive performances for Wigan, Lewis’ consistent excellence throughout the season gives him the edge in the eyes of many. The Challenge Cup Final represents a significant opportunity for both players to showcase their talents on the biggest stage in English rugby league.
