They know that premierships are won in the first week of October – not midway through August.But they will still love the chance to confirm their Minor Premiership status and knock off one of their top challengers in the process.I think Melbourne will win in a close one. "He wanted to give it every chance to roll dead and that's the risk you take when you play at the back.," he said. They were brilliant in snatching a golden-point win against the Roosters last week and, after some unconvincing previous performances, now look back to their premiership-contending best.The Raiders, meanwhile, haven’t reached their peak since the aforementioned Round 3 win, and have a host of injuries to key forwards making life particularly difficult. The Canberra Raiders have announced themselves as the premiership favourites with a commanding 22-6 win over the Melbourne Storm in Melbourne. New Zealand international Jahrome Hughes is welcomed back at fullback in place the impressive Nicho Hynes, who debuted last week against the Rabbitohs. After a quiet couple of weeks Raiders five-eighth Jack Wighton has come alive.

"Off the back of that decision the Storm scored with the one-man advantage - funnily enough through the Melbourne winger down Simonsson's wing.On top of that, inspirational hooker Hodgson limped off the field after suffering a right knee problem.He was seen hugging his teammates in the sheds at halftime in emotional scenes suggesting it is most likely a serious injury.Hodgson overcame a knee reconstruction on his left knee in 2017.Raiders fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad tried to be too cute and got punished.The Storm's Jerome Hughes kicked it on the last tackle about 30 metres from the Raiders line, and the Raiders star was a too casual in retrieving the ball.As he got closer you could tell he was in two minds about whether he should let it go dead as it trickled deep into the in-goal and towards the dead-ball line.When he finally decided to take a swipe at the ball - the Canberra fullback's attempt wasn't strong enough and the ball stopped short of the line and the Storm's Brenko Lee pounced to give Melbourne the early lead. Tevita Panga Junior shouldered the burden in the forward pack, devastating the Bulldogs' line with massive running power and handy off-loads.The pressure will be firmly thrown onto coach Dean Pay, however, who faces serious question over his tenure at the club as the Dogs slumped to a 1-8 record to start the season, their worst since 1964.Criticised Broncos play-maker Anthony Milford has taken some creative initiative and put in a spectacular early kick to set up Jamayne Isaako for a second-half stunner. Melbourne Storm versus Canberra Raiders match centre includes live scores and updates.

There is not much chance of the Raiders losing their top 4 spot – certainly no chance of them dropping out of the eight altogether.But psychologically, a loss here could be disastrous for Ricky’s Raiders. "Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has had a shocker," said Andrew Voss. With adding games you want to follow in "My games" following your matches livescores, results and statistics will be even more simple. He is also the highest all-time points scorer in NRL history.Melbourne has broken a three-game losing streak against a luckless Raiders outfit who lost hooker Josh Hodgson to a serious knee injury.After leading 12-6 at halftime, the Storm continued their dominance in the second half to take the match 20-14.Cameron Smith's move back to hooker from five-eighth suited the Storm as their forwards got a roll on and fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen was a constant danger on the left edge.In the last two weeks Melbourne has beaten both of last year's grand finalists in results that will surely please coach Craig Bellamy.Canberra on the other hand were disappointing and were off the pace from the outset.A poor error from Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad gave the Storm an early lead before the Raiders were hit by controversial sin-binning which led to another try.Hodgson left the field with a knee injury hitting Canberra's already dwindling playing stocks even harder.Melbourne went on with the job in the second half extending their lead through a penalty and a try to Papenhuyzen.Canberra scored a couple of late tries but it was too little too late.It was supposed to be the moment the Raiders got back into the game but Elliot Whitehead couldn't hang on.Down 14-6, 15 minutes into the second half, the Raiders forward broke the Storm's right edge and made it to the line as Melbourne players chased.In normal time it seemed like he crossed the stripe no problem - but on further inspection he muffed it.Somehow Whitehead grounded the ball short of the line after being ankle-tapped by a Storm player and then the ball spilled loose.It would have been his fifth try of the season and given the Raiders a pep up considering how much has gone against them this evening.
