Free-scoring Maika Sivo took his tally of Super League tries to 27 for the season with two in Leeds Rhinos' emphatic victory against champions Hull KR at Headingley.

Sivo touched down either side of the break to make it 15 tries in an unbroken nine-game scoring spree from the Fiji winger as the table-topping Rhinos moved two points clear at the summit.

Chris Hankinson had gone over for Leeds' first try of the night, while Jake Connor landed two of his three first-half penalties before Sivo went over for the first time.

Sivo then added to Rhinos' 18-2 half-time lead against a Robins side that had Rhyse Martin in the sin-bin.

And while Noah Booth hit back with a try soon after, Connor went over for a fourth Leeds try before the hour mark before Ash Handley completed the win.
