MATCH CENTRE: Raiders vs Storm teams, scores, videos, updates
Melbourne are coming off their first loss against the Warriors in 17 games last week, but history is on their side in the nation’s capital tonight.
The Storm haven’t lost to the Raiders at GIO stadium since 2016, however they will be wary of a Raiders side coming off a tight win against South Sydney last week.
Defence will be the main point of concern for the Raiders who have conceded 32 points or more in their last three games.
Should they beat Melbourne tonight, it’ll be the first time the Storm suffer five straight defeats in 14 years.
