Former Parramatta winger Ken Sio has crossed for a hat-trick as Hull KR climbed off the bottom of the Super League table with an emphatic 50-20 win over Catalans Dragons.
Sio crossed early on to restore parity after a try to his former Parramatta teammate Willie Tonga had put the visitors ahead.
Sio's initial score had sparked the Dragons into action as they ran in three unanswered tries, including four-pointers to former Roosters Michael Oldfield and Remi Casty.
However, after the break Rovers ran riot with Sio grabbing two more more to complete the rout, while former Gold Coast playmaker Albert Kelly also crossed.
