The magical Robins stand-off scored two in the first eight minutes to threaten a huge score against a team that has had to re-stock its injury-hit squad with loans and academy youngsters. Tyrone May and Rhyse Martin tries had the statisticians thumbing through the records, but Bulls rallied with tries from Brandon Douglas and Greg Eden before half-time.
That revival was extinguished as Jack Broadbent scored early in the second half, Lewis added two more and Peta Hiku made it eight Rovers tries on the day as resurgent Rovers made it five consecutive wins in all competitions.
