Melbourne Storm vs Canberra Raiders Preview

The weekend will close out with a blockbuster showdown between second and third on the ladder, as the Melbourne Storm take on the Canberra Raiders at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday night. The Raiders have been one of the season’s surprise packets, winning six of their first eight matches, including a thrilling 40-28 comeback win over the Dolphins last week, erasing a 28-10 half-time deficit. Melbourne, meanwhile, bounced back from their own loss to the Dolphins with a 24-16 victory over South Sydney on ANZAC Day, improving to 5-2. The Storm welcome back Tui Kamikamica from injury, with Lazarus Vaalepu dropping to the reserves, while Sua Fa’alogo has been cleared to start on the wing after passing concussion protocols. Nelson Asofa-Solomona could also make his return, having been named in the extended squad. Canberra, riding a four-match winning streak, enter the game unchanged and will be eager to continue their impressive run. This promises to be a thrilling contest between two in-form teams.
