Maika Sivo's stunning four-try display screen helped Leeds Rhinos surge Hull KR 58-6 in Las Vegas.


The Fijian winger crossed two times and developed a 3rd shot as the widespread Rhinos led 28-0 at half-time.


And Sivo scored two times more in the 2nd half as Leeds took apart the protecting Super League champs.


Hull KR beat Brisbane Broncos to win the World Club Challenge just 10 days ago but have now lost their opening 2 Super League video games of the season.


Defeat by newly-promoted York was a shock - and the way they were brushed aside at Allegiant Stadium, the home of NFL side Las Vegas Raiders, left head coach Willie Peters warning his side could be dealing with "a long season".


Sivo joined the Rhinos before the 2025 season however missed out on the entire project after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament.


And following 2 tries out debut it took him 8 minutes to require his way over for the very first shot of the video game after Harry Newman gathered Brodie Croft's high kick and the ball was worked out to the left flank.


He went over in the corner for his second - following a lengthy video review after a Jake Connor hand-off - Connor then for a 2nd time.


After tries from Croft and Keenan Palasia, Sivo declared the ball from under his own posts and ran 70 metres for an attack which ended with Ryan Hall scoring.


A Hull KR attempt was disallowed for an earlier obstruction before completion of the very first half, but Leeds continued to dominate in the second duration - with Croft adding a 6th shot before Sivo completed his hat-trick.


His 4th try followed a Joe Burgess alleviation for the Robins 15 minutes from time - then a late Cooper Jenkins double sealed a resounding success for Leeds.


Hull KR no place near sufficient - Peters


"The people I pity are the fans who paid hard-earned money to come here today and watch that," Peters stated.


"To invest or save money to come and view their group play and we provide an efficiency like that, it's just no place near sufficient.


"We need to all look at ourselves - myself at the top of that - and find out why we got that efficiency.


"We require to ensure that we action more than words and find a solution for it, since if that's the design template of what we're going to do this season, it's going to be a long season."


A thrilled Leeds coach Brad Arthur said his side had "had a ball" and applauded his gamers' "genuine cravings".


"We desired to make certain that we did ourselves happy and the fans and did the competitors justice," he included.


"We came here to make a statement and we did it this evening," Sivo told Sky Sports.


"The boys, each and every single among us, did our job tonight."
