Lewis joins the 300-game Club

Dual-premiership winner Luke Lewis will join the illustrious 300-game Club tonight, becoming just the 28th player in history to achieve the milestone.

The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks forward joins teammate Chris Heighington, Storm halfback Cooper Cronk and Warriors forward Ryan Hoffman to reach the 300-game mark in 2017.

Lewis made his NRL debut for the Penrith Panthers in 2001, where he went on to play 208 NRL games – including lining up on the wing for the 2003 Grand Final victory.

Making the move to the Sharks in 2013, the 33-year-old has played 91 games and was part of the Club’ maiden premiership win last season in which he was awarded the Clive Churchill Medal.

Lewis also has achieved a decorated representative career, including 16 Tests for Australia, 17 games for New South Wales, five City Origin caps and an NRL All Stars appearance.

The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks will honour the veteran at tonight’s match at Southern Cross Group Stadium, with Lewis set to take the field in his 300th game against the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

The Rugby League Players Association would like to congratulate Lewis on achieving this wonderful milestone and a special group of players in the 300-game Club.
