Leeds Rhinos put on a show in Las Vegas as they hammered Hull KR 58-6 and rugby league fans have now had their say.
For the second year in a row, the Super League game in Las Vegas turned into a blowout but whilst Warrington made it somewhat respectable against Wigan in 2025, Leeds kept piling the points on to hand Hull KR their second-heaviest defeat in the Willie Peters’ era.
Since Peters took over in 2023, Hull KR have only conceded more points once and that came when they shipped 64 to Wigan Warriors, however, the Robins had rested almost all of their starters for that game as they were preparing for the Challenge Cup Final.
This Las Vegas loss came up against a near full-strength Hull KR side who were riding the high of a World Club Challenge win, making Leeds’ victory even more spectacular and cementing them as genuine challengers in 2026.
As the shock of the result dissipated, fans started to have their say on the result with plenty pointing to Leeds’ star man, as well as the fact that the Rhinos are a team on the up.
How fans reacted to Leeds Rhinos’ Las Vegas win over Hull KR
Serious About Rugby League asked fans for their verdict on the game with a handful of the replies shared below.
Gav Clark: Absolute masterclass from the Rhinos. The class players stand out when the pitch is in good condition.
Jason Higgins: Domination… All this about KR being tired, they’re athletes and they had an extra day off over Leeds.
Michael Bligh: Sivo looks unreal, (if he) keeps that form up and we’re all stuffed.
Daniel Warelow: Leeds a class above.
Stu Cox: Sivo was class.
Luke Mewse: There is a new sheriff in town and his name is Sivo! Absolutely dominant from Leeds.
Martin Howarth: Have I somehow work up on the 1st of April or something?
Paul Barber: Still not sure what is happening, York beat KR, Leigh beat Leeds, Wigan gave Leigh a good thrashing, KR beat Broncos. No pots awarded until the season ends, but hopefully tonight was an indication of what is to come from Leeds.
Sam Jones: What a game. Best team in the league tonight and Sivo (will be) top try scorer of the league this year. What a unit.

Yes Hull KR did have an extra day before Las Vegas. Astonishing remark t hat some over excited Leeds fan offers! Superfluous in the extreme if considered that Rhinos played newly promoted York at Headingley and KR took on Brisbane Broncos in a super demanding World Club Challenge finale.
