Rhinos turned on the power to run in 10 tries at Allegiant Stadium in their most impressive performance since Brad Arthur took over as coach in 2024. The Robins were clearly suffering a hangover from their World Club Challenge triumph nine days earlier, but they were given no chance to get into the game as Leeds dominated from start to finish. Brodie Croft and Cooper Jenkins both crossed twice and Ryan Hall and Keenan Palasia got the others, with Joe Burgess grabbing Hull KR’s lone try after they trailed 40-0. Jake Connor landed six goals from seven attempts and Chris Hankinson booted the last three on a memorable day for Leeds.
