Watch the highlights from the Las Vegas Super League showdown between Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos

Leeds Rhinos' Maika Sivo scored four tries as his side put on a show in a 56-8 demolition of Hull KR at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium.

There was 35, 500 tickets sold for the rugby league takeover at Allegiant Stadium and the Leeds Rhinos and Hull KR fans made up a massive part of that, their voices by far the loudest as they showed off the intense passion Super League has to offer.

Leeds Rhinos were the team on top throughout the entire first half and they got their reward through converted tries for Brodie Croft, Keenan Palasia, Ryan Hall, and a double for Maika Sivo, Jake Connor pulling the strings plus converting four out of five for a comprehensive 28-0 lead.

Leeds continued in the second half as they had in the first, Sivo's third and fourth tries plus a second for Croft and a couple of barrel overs for Cooper Jenkins helping them on the way to 56 points as Connor also orchestrated things to perfection.

Hull KR managed to score a consolation through Joe Burgess but it was a performance that saw them bump back down to earth following their World Cup Challenge win over Brisbane Broncos as they still do not have a win in Super League after two rounds.

After Erasure front man Andy Bell had got things going before kick-off with a performance of 'A Little Respect' in front of the Hull KR fans, it was time for the Robins and Leeds Rhinos to get the action under way.

After an attritional first 10 minutes, it was then time for the Rhinos to get on top thanks to one man in particular.

Brodie Croft goes over to extend Leeds Rhino's lead over Hull KR in Las Vegas

Sivo scored twice on his debut for Leeds and he showed that once again on the Las Vegas stage. First he used his strength to stretch over on the 11th then 16th minute to send the Rhinos faithful into pandemonium, Connor converting both for a 12-0 advantage.

It was then the turn of Croft just seven minutes later to use his dancing footwork to go in under the sticks, Connor pulling the string with a brilliant 40/20 to give his side the territory and an 18-0 advantage.

KR were frankly all over the place, poor handling and errors putting them firmly under the pump.

That only got worse on the 29th minute as Palasia barged off Tyrone May to reach over and score, Connor sticking the conversion over for good measure to put the Rhinos 24-0 in front.

They were not done there either as Sivo made a massive break downfield after retrieving a short drop out, being stopped just short of the line. From that, the Rhinos whipped the ball out to the other edge with a looping pass for Hall to walk in and put them 28-0 ahead.

Hull KR thought they had hit back through Jez Litten but with the try chalked off for an obstruction in the build-up, they had to settle with being 28-0 down at the break.
