and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Sivo was helped from the field in the first half and appears in major doubt for Rhinos’ Betfred Super League round one derby against Wakefield Trinity in less than three weeks’ time. Speaking in his post-match press conference, Arthur said: “He will have to have scans tomorrow and we’ve just got to hope for the best.
“They have got to rule out all the possibilities are acls (anterior cruciate ligament) and mcls (medial collateral ligaments).”

The injury was to Sivo’s left knee but Arthur said the off-season signing was upbeat after the match, in which Rhinos out-scored the visitors by four tries to one. The coach added: “He’s positive, he thinks he is made of rubber. We don’t know until he gets a scan, but he is walking now, which is good. “
Leeds also lost forward Cooper Jenkins to a head knock before half-time. “He is all right now,” Arthur said. “He wanted to go back out there, but there was no point.”
