A perfect performance but Rhinos must guard against complacency

There was absolutely nothing negative to say about Leeds Rhinos' 58-6 Las Vegas shellacking of Hull KR.

It was one of those rare games when - from start to finish - everything went right and the result and performance will have made the rest of Super League sit up and take notice, though Rhinos can't afford to get complacent at home to Castleford Tigers this Sunday. Here's five talking points.
1: Maika difference:
Given his try scoring prowess in the NRL-104 touchdowns in 115 games for Parramatta Eels - the explosive start to Maika Sivo's Super League career shouldn't be a surprise. But nobody expected him to be this good just two games into his comeback from a year out with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Ryan Hall was Rhinos' top try scorer last year with 13 and the barnstorming Fijian is almost half way there already. Opposing coaches will have their hands full devising a way of stopping Sivo when he gets the ball in his hands 10-20 metres from their line, something likely to happen on a regular basis playing outside Jake Connor.
