Maika Sivo unleashed a spectacular hat‑trick as Leeds Rhinos crushed Warrington Wolves 34-6 at Halliwell Jones Stadium. Sivo crossed at 19, 55 and 58 minutes, while Jake Connor added four conversions and a penalty. The victory lifts Brad Arthur's side two points clear at the top of the Super League heading into round 14.

Leeds built a 16-2 halftime lead thanks to early scores from Sivo, Brodie Croft and Harry Newman, complemented by Connor's accurate boot. Warrington's only reply came from a Matty Ashton try late in the second half, a consolation after their first loss in six matches. The Rhinos' defence stifled further Wolves attacks, underscoring their growing reliability.

Brad Arthur praised his squad's resilience, noting the performance marked a step forward for a team chasing the title. With Warrington now two points behind but holding a game in hand, the standings tighten, and Leeds must maintain intensity to stay unchallenged at the summit.
