Maika Sivo once again proved why he's the most feared finisher in Super League, bagging his fourth hat-trick of the season to keep Leeds Rhinos sitting pretty at the top of the table. The Fiji international's blistering form has been a key driver for the Rhinos, and his 19 tries in just 10 games across all competitions is a testament to his lethal finishing ability.
Against a stubborn Wakefield Trinity side that refused to go quietly, Sivo's heroics were desperately needed. Leeds looked to be cruising after two early Sivo tries and another from Kallum Watkins put them 20-6 ahead. But the drama was just beginning—Sivo and Ash Handley both saw yellow, giving Wakefield a lifeline they were eager to grab.
Tray Lolesio and Jayden Myers dragged Daryl Powell's men back to within four points, setting up a tense finish. However, Brodie Croft stepped up with two crucial tries, Sivo completed his hat-trick in style, and Jake Connor's reliable boot kept the scoreboard ticking in Leeds' favor.
It's the kind of performance that keeps fans on the edge of their seats and reminds everyone why Super League is unmissable. For Leeds, staying top of the table is the ultimate prize, but nights like these—where grit meets flair—are what build championship pedigree.
