Unfortunately, I don't have room to list Lewis's achievements here. They dwarf those.
Lewis wasn't a goal kicker so the points and goal records are irrelevant.
I also don't place a lot of stock in awards like the Dally M or the previous Rothmans (both have best and fairest considerations). Lewis was never popular with the refs who used to vote on these things.
Lewis won double the number of man of the match awards in Origin. 8. Says it all, really.
