RUGBY LEAGUE fans have named Leeds Rhinos’ Maika Sivo as the best player from Down Under in Super League so far in 2026.

Sivo has registered 19 tries in ten appearances in both league and cup after spending the entire 2025 campaign on the sidelines with an ACL injury.

It’s fair to say he has come back with a bang, occupying the right wing to great effect with a formidable try-scoring haul.

Other notable overseas players such as Tristan Sailor (St Helens) and Tyrone May (Hull KR) have also been looked favourably upon by fans.
