Danny Ratciffe’s two tries, both of which he converted, saw the South Leeds outfit trail just 22-12 heading into the final quarter.

However, ex-Huddersfield scrum-half Gregg McNally grabbed a try to stave off any hopes of a further Hunslet comeback and former Bradford Bulls second-row Michael Worrincy sealed the win in the penultimate minute.
