The Robins and Rhinos played their part in achieving a new record crowd for Rugby League Las Vegas – with a total of 45,719 fans in attendance at the iconic venue.

It was a truly sensational performance from the Rhinos, who produced a ten-try demolition of the current World Champions, and were always in control.

Players 1-17 impressed, with the talent bursting at the seams from the Leeds outfit.

But arguably, magnificent Maika Sivo ran the show, who starred in a dazzling display, scoring four tries, running 191 metres in just 14 carries and making ten tackle busts on the left edge. He also helped to create Ryan Hall’s try – one of the best Super League tries Vegas has ever seen – as the Rhinos quickly turned their defence into attack.

His electric performance meant he was a well-deserved favourite for the Player of the Match Award.

It was a similar story for plenty of the Leeds stars who also enjoyed exceptional performances. In fact, there were six players in the Blue & Amber who ran for over 100 metres alongside their teammate Sivo.

Lachie Miller topped the metre-making charts with 194, followed by Sivo, Hall (139), Cooper Jenkins (130), Kallum Watkins (112), Cameron Smith (109) and Ash Handley (108).

Smith completed 30 tackles, the most on his team, whilst Watkins (29), Danny Levi (27), James McDonnell (23), Jenkins (20) and Keenan Palasia (20) also produced commendable defensive stints, and all played a significant role in their Vegas victory.

Across the entire side, 51 tackle busts were made on the night, highlighting Leeds’ explosive attack and expansive play.

Five different try scorers touched down too – Sivo (4), Brodie Croft (2), Palasia, Hall, Jenkins (2). It was breathtaking stuff!

Their main man Jake Connor showed his class, producing two terrific try assists, as well as 15 kicks in general play, a 40/20 and six successful conversions, before Chris Hankinson got his chance to enter the famous field and took over kicking duties in the later stages.

In defeat, however, Jez Litten’s work rate never withered, with the hooker making a mammoth 41 tackles – the highest of any player on the pitch.

Tom Davies was the only Robin to surpass 100 metres with 107, and Joe Burgess was responsible for his side’s only score in the US, but it was a mere consolation.

The Rhinos dominated possession at 58%, meaning the Robins never really stood a chance. They were also able to turn this into plenty of points.

Brad Arthur’s men completed a total of 34 sets and made 206 carries under the bright lights – and that was 65 more than the Robins did.

A lively Leeds then ran 1570 metres in comparison to Hull KR’s 831 and made 89 less tackles than their opponents. No wonder the Robins were tired out!

The jaw-dropping amount of tackle busts will certainly long live in everyone’s memory as the Rhinos ran riot with an unbelievable 51.

Meanwhile, Robins managed just 18 and were shut down from the very start – a total opposite of their magic show against the NRL Premiers Brisbane Broncos, just less than two weeks ago.

Interestingly, both sides had a similar amount of ‘Play the Balls’ in their opposition’s 20 metres (Rhinos 23 and Robins 20) - which means most of Leeds’ tries came from breaks and they capitalised almost every time they had a hold of the ball.

A sorry stat was for the current champions is that they uncharacteristically missed 51 tackles - something they will want to forget as they look to dust themselves down for next week…

Surprisingly, the Rhinos only made two less errors (9) than the Robins did (11), although this only further demonstrates how strong they were in every other department.

And that's how they emerged confident victors in Las Vegas!
