Leeds Rhinos winger Maika Sivo plays down starring role in Las Vegas rout
Maika Sivo played down his starring role in Leeds Rhinos' demolition of Hull KR, stressing he simply did his job by scoring four tries.
The Fijian winger missed the entire 2025 campaign through injury but is making up for lost time, crossing six times in his first two outings for the Rhinos.
True to form, it was a typically understated reaction from the unassuming Sivo after lighting up the biggest stage of all.
"It was a good game and everyone did their job," he said following the 58-6 victory.
"As a winger, it's our job to finish those opportunities and I did that today.
"It's only my second game in a while and I've still got match fitness to get week by week. We'll go from there.
"We'll enjoy this one, get back on Monday and focus on next week."
Sivo was happy to reward the fans for the sacrifices they made to follow their team to America.
"It's one of the games you'll never forget," he added.
"When you have people travelling all this way to watch us, it's a big thanks to them. We’ve seen them along the Strip - they’re passionate fans and wear the jersey wherever they go.
"It was a really important game for the club and it's good to come out with the win."
