AAMI Park, Melbourne
The Storm moved to the top of the ladder after their tough 12-6 win over the Warriors last week and will be looking to continue their winning streak when they host the Raiders in Melbourne on Saturday night. The Raiders had their slim finals hopes extinguished in controversial fashion against the Sharks last week and it will be interesting to see how they respond here.
Recent FormDefending premiers Melbourne have gone top of the table for the first time this year after a gritty 12-6 win over the Warriors in New Zealand. The Storm have a 13-5 record with the second best defence and fourth best attack. Melbourne have won seven straight and have kept opponents to 13 or fewer in five. Canberra are 10th on the ladder with an 8-10 record after being controversially beaten 28-24 by Cronulla. The Raiders are the top attacking team in the NRL but rank 12th in defence. Canberra have conceded 26 or more in three of their last four.

Final ThoughtsThe Wolf is expecting an open affair here, with the Raiders season controversially put to bed last week. Both sides can put on points, with the Raiders possessing the best attack in the NRL, while the Storm rank 4th in attack. The Raiders have gone over in their past five matches and will look to play expansive football in a bid to test the Storm’s brickwall defence.
