Thirteen years after winning the NRL premiership as a spiky-haired winger with Penrith, Luke Lewis is primed for a second crack at glory with Cronulla against Melbourne this Sunday.The 33-year-old former NSW and Test utility is the only one of the 34 players who featured in the 2003 decider between the Panthers and Sydney Roosters still plying his trade in the NRL.And although hes unsurprised by the Sharks superb campaign, he admits being resigned to the opportunity of a second grand final passing him by.Thirteen years... its a long sip between drinks but it was a great time back then, in totally different shoes, Lewis told AAP.I was a young pup coming through and had some blokes I played with as juniors in the same side.You think Ill get there again but it was getting a little bit frustrating because we would get to the semis and bow out early.So when we got to the preliminary final this year I didnt want to leave any stone unturned.Times have changed since that glorious night at the foot of the Blue Mountains when John Langs exciting team stunned Ricky Stuarts star-studded reigning premiers 18-6 in an era when ice baths were for stubbies and GPS packs for astronauts.It was still a little bit old school, he said.We didnt have any GPS stuff or anything like that we used to train really hard and do the old long road runs which was pretty cool and we dont do anything like that now.I dont remember doing any media stuff when I was younger either.I really only remember the grand final breakfast, going back, having a training session with the fans around, then getting on the bus to the game.Having just signed a one-year extension with the Sharks, he isnt going anywhere and wants to savour the experience.I think I just take this one in a bit more and understand what its all about - just go with the flow.BIGGEST GAPS BETWEEN DECIDERS IN THE NRL ERA (Post Super League)14 yearsLote Tuqiri 2000 (Brisbane) - 2014 (South Sydney)13 yearsLuke Lewis 2003 (Penrith) - 2016 (Cronulla)11 yearsChris Heighington 2005 (Wests Tigers) - 2016 (Cronulla)10 yearsJohnathan Thurston 2005 - 2015 (Cowboys)9 yearsSonny Bill Williams 2004 (Bulldogs) - 2013 (Roosters)Corey Parker 2006 (Brisbane) - 2015 (Brisbane)Ben Hannant 2006 (Brisbane) - 2015 (Cowboys)Sam Thaiday 2006 (Brisbane) - 2015 (Brisbane)Lance Hohaia 2002 (Warriors) - 2011 (Warriors) Nike Air Max 97 Mens Clearance . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room.

Scrum-half Tom Kessell came off the bench to rescue victory for Northampton as they registered only their second home Aviva Premiership win of the season.Two struggling sides produced a mistake-ridden encounter but an exciting finish, with Kessells try with 10 minutes to go following a Louis Picamoles offload proving decisive in a 23-20 home victory.A Picamoles converted try and Stephen Myler penalty had given Northampton a 13-3 half-time lead - but tries from Jacob Rowan and Charlie Sharples plus seven points from Greig Laidlaw had put Gloucester 20-16 ahead with 21 minutes to go.It would have been a rare win at Franklins Gardens for the visitors but Northampton roused themselves to snatch victory, although the performance again raised more questions than answers after a poor start to the campaign.Northampton were slipshod from the off, losing their first two lineouts, and from the second Gloucester kicked ahead for Matt Scott to trap Ben Foden over the ball - but Laidlaw missed his kick.George North thought he had opened the scoring on 14 minutes, bursting though on the 10-metre line - but referee Tom Foley ruled Harry Mallinders inside pass to the Welshman was forward.From the restart Scott again won a penalty by getting over Foden, but Laidlaw missed again. Both sides were making mistakes and a dropped ball by James Hook was punished.From the scrum Foden broke on the short side and Picamoles picked up to drive for the line. He was stopped just short but the weight of the support behind pushed him over, Foley ruled after watching the big screen replays.

Laidlaw converted to give the visitors a much-needed boost and make it 13-10.Myler responded with a third penalty, but from the restart Gloucester caught Lee Dickson dawdling at a ruck to force a scrum.From it, the visitors won a penalty which Laidlaw converted. Just before the visitors were ahead, through Sharples.His opposite wing Jonny May made the break in midfield and some great hands from Ben Morgan opened up the right flank for Sharples to slip George Norths tackle and score.Laidlaw converted to stretch the lead to four points. Northampton almost created an instant response, as Foden burst through and sent Rory Hutchinson sidewinding towards the line, only to be hauled down by Richard Hibbard five metres short.With 10 minutes to go, though, Picamoles peeled off a lineout drive and offloaded for replacement Kessell to touch down. Myler made it 23-20.Hook was short with a penalty from the halfway line - but when Picamoles dropped the ball with a minute to go Gloucester had another chance. They got to within 10 metres of the line - but Kessell was there to get over the ball and win a penalty to end the game. ' ' '
