Maika Sivo continued his mind-blowing start to the Super League season by inspiring Leeds Rhinos to victory over West Yorkshire rivals Castleford.


The Fijian winger, who scored four tries in last weekend's 58-6 thumping of Hull KR in Las Vegas, added another 3 at Headingley.


The 32-year-old has now scored 9 tries in three matches and assisted Rhinos make it three straight success following their opening-round defeat by Leigh which he missed.


Seven days on from their showdown with protecting champions Hull KR in Las Vegas, the going tougher against neighbours Cas, however still ran out comfortable winners.


George Brown got the ball down superbly under pressure to put Leeds on the board and Sivo extended the lead following Mikaele Ravalawa's rating for Cas.


Sivo added his second soon after the restart and after that discussed in the corner to finish his hat-trick following a smart one-handed offload from Chris Hankinson.


Castleford applied lots of pressure in the last 20 minutes but were not able to discover a method through some exceptional and identified Leeds defence.


Both sides had a try disallowed, however it mattered little to the outcome.


Cam Smith saw his first-half rating for Leeds chalked off for a knock-on in the accumulation, and Castleford stand-off Zac Cini's second-half try was dismissed, also for a knock-on.


Cas, who picked up their very first victory of the campaign against Huddersfield in the last round, have actually now lost 3 of their opening 4 components.


Both sides remain in Challenge Cup action next weekend.


Leeds visit Wakefield on Friday and Castleford host St Helens on Saturday.
