Elsewhere in the Women's Super League, Faye Gaskin scored her second-successive hat-trick as St Helens continued their fine start to the season with a 42-4 demolition of defending champions Bradford Bulls at Odsal.
Though Leah Jones bagged an early try for the Bulls, the Gaskin-inspired Saints were dominant throughout as they stormed to a second-successive win in 2018.
Gaskin opened the scoring before Chantelle Crowl added another, Gaskin with both goals to make it 12-0.
Jones did hit back for the home side, but Gaskin, who ended the game with four goals, and Crowl got over again to make it 22-4 to Saints at half time.
Roxy Mura and Charlotte Hill went in after the break, before Gaskin completed her hat-trick and Katie-May Williams dashed in late on to round off the scoring.
Great effort from the ladies, and only one way to end the game! #saintsandproud pic.twitter.com/11hJ4XKkn9
