Luke Lewis
Luke Lewis (born 11 August 1983) is an Australian rugby league commentator and former professional rugby league footballer who played for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and the Penrith Panthers in the National Rugby League (NRL) and Australia at international level.
He played for the Penrith Panthers between 2001 and 2012, winning the 2003 NRL Premiership with them.

Luke Lewis was educated at Plumpton High school before moving to Patrician Brothers' College Blacktown, and spent his junior career with Blacktown City Junior Rugby League Football Club in the Penrith district. In early 2011, Lewis married his partner, Sonia Di Loreto. The couple welcomed their first child in April 2016, and their second in March 2018.[citation needed]
In Round 25 of the 2001 NRL season, Lewis made his first grade NRL debut for the Penrith Panthers against the Melbourne Storm off the interchange bench in the Penrith club's 28–24 loss at Etihad Stadium. Lewis finished his debut year in the NRL with him playing in three matches.
In Round 3 against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Lewis scored his first NRL try in the 18–10 loss at Remondis Stadium. He finished the season with 17 tries from 23 matches, including two hat tricks.
In the 2003 NRL grand final, Lewis played on the wing in Penrith's 18–6 win over the Sydney Roosters. Lewis played in 25 matches and scored 18 tries for the Penrith club in the 2003 NRL season. He was selected for the Kangaroos 2003 Tour squad, but did not play.
As 2003 NRL premiers, the Penrith club travelled to England to face Super League VIII champions, the Bradford Bulls in the 2004 World Club Challenge, playing at centre in the Panthers 22–4 loss. Lewis played for NSW City Origin at centre and scored a try in the 22–18 loss to NSW Country Origin at Central Coast Stadium. Lewis was selected to play all three games of the 2004 State of Origin series on the wing and in the centres for New South Wales.
